You are trying too hard to demonize Massie. Your claim that Massie was the "DECIDING VOTE" ignores the reality of the situation: "The compromise bill to raise the debt ceiling passed its first major test Tuesday night in the House Rules Committee, where it advanced to the House floor in a 7-6 vote, with two of the panel’s nine Republicans opposing it.

Late-stage support from GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky cleared the way for the bill to be approved by seven of the nine Republicans on the committee."

Everyone on the committee has one vote. So in reality of the 9 Republicans, 7, including Massie voted to move the bill out of the committee.

Massie did just what the other Republicans on the committee did. Why aren't you claiming that they were "supporting Biden"?

I made the mistake of reposting an X post without checking the veracity. That is an easy mistake when it supports belifs. Thank you for posting additional information. I will look into the circumstances to correct my understanding. I have no respect for Masie but I do not want to be part of spreading misinformation.
