He gets a 96% score in this session of Congress from the Conservative Review.
It’s a good question.
Not unexpected.
Rednecks are tribal.
They going to vote for one of their own.
I’m fine with that.
It’s called representative gubmint.
This is the “Red State” that gave us the most treacherous snake to ever be a congressional leader of the Republican wing of the uniparty, China Mitch who sleeps with a Chinese spy or least is married to one.
Not to mention the biggest know-it-all, do-nothing gasbag currently residing in the snake pit that is the United States Senate, Randy Rand Paul.
His resume of Senate accomplishments is a blank page.
Not sure which is worse living in a blue state or living in a red state like Kentucky or South Carolina and being represented with the likes of China Mitch and Randy Rand Paul and Goober Grahamnesty and Tiny Tim Scott.
“””He’s the most conservative guy in congress. But apparently we’re all MAGA now, and don’t like conservatives.””””
That must be why he votes with democrats and teams up with them on issues. He wants to be the new MAVERICK like
John McCain. Look at me Look at me....
From Grok, this is when Massie has voted against Trump:
— Against “Clean” Spending Bills: Massie frequently joins Democrats in voting against bills that increase the national debt, even if they are favored by his own party, as seen in votes related to budget reconciliation or Ukraine aid, where his fiscal conservatism aligns with progressive concerns about deficits.
— Surveillance/Privacy: He often votes with Democrats (and other civil libertarians) to restrict government surveillance programs or NSA powers, such as voting against reauthorizations of the Patriot Act or FISA.
— Military/Foreign Policy: Massie’s non-interventionist stance leads him to vote with some Democrats (and against most Republicans) to oppose new military interventions or foreign aid packages, like aid to Ukraine.
How very odd. Seems to me Republicans should be FOR all these things.
He voted against the Republicans, and with the democrats, on the Big Beautiful Bill. He is trash just like his pal Rand Paul.

Massie bucks GOP leadership again on Adam Schiff censure vote, draws conservative ire
Conservatives are conveying anger with northern Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie over his vote to oppose a resolution censuring California Rep. Adam Schiff, a favorite boogeyman of Republicans. Massie joined 19 other House Republicans in defecting from party leadership from condemning Schiff for championing the investigatory onslaught against former President Donald Trump. Combined with unanimous Democratic opposition, the measure failed, surprising even Schiff. The libertarian-leaning Massie claimed the resolution was unconstitutional for a clause that instructed Schiff should be fined $16 million if the House Ethics Committee found he “lied, made representations and abused sensitive information.” “Allowing a majority of Congress to take $16 million (92 years of pay) from any member of Congress is shortsighted,” Massie tweeted again of the Wednesday evening vote. “Can we not imagine a time when this precedent would be used against conservatives? Fortunately it failed.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida freshman, said Massie was “making misrepresentations about the bill” she authored. A band of pro-Trump political figures went even further, casting doubts about Massie’s reasoning and calling for his defeat. Massie has endorsed Trump rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. “Not only is he being duplicitous, partisan and moronic about his choice – he’s straight up lying about the Constitution to achieve his political end goals. Sick,” wrote Raheem Kassam, a British political activist and editor in chief of The National Pulse.
‘Mofo...in the White House’: Jasmine Crockett attacks Trump, praises Massie in anti-Iran strike rant
‘There’s only one Republican that I know I can count on for sure doing the right thing,’ Rep Crockett says in a new video
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, launched another tirade against President Donald Trump over the weekend, while offering rare praise for one of her House GOP colleagues who is currently at odds with the commander in chief.
The Democratic firebrand took to Instagram Live late Saturday to criticize Trump’s strikes on Iran, while giving a “shout out” to Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., over his bipartisan resolution to rein in the president’s ability to conduct such operations.
“So long story short, for those of you that are unaware, the mofo that resides in the White House has unilaterally, in my estimation, declared war,” Crockett said in the video.

Lone Republican becomes only lawmaker to vote against crackdown on human organ trafficking (Massie)
A bill aimed at cracking down on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its practice of forced organ harvesting passed with overwhelming support on Wednesday – though one House lawmaker voted against it.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the lone Republican to oppose the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, which passed 406-1.
“It’s just another example of us trying to stick our nose in another country’s business and write their laws,” Massie told Fox News Digital after the vote. “And at the end of the day, they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, and it’s just sort of a virtue signal over here.”
...
But his pushback is also notable now given his status as an open critic of Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and at times, of President Donald Trump.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., and would authorize the Secretary of State to deny U.S. passports and visitor visas to people involved in organ trafficking circles.
It would also call for sanctions on entities and individuals found to have participated in the gruesome illicit industry.
You “like” Massie. Interesting for a FReeper. You realize he is backed by democrats and probably gets Soros campaign cash right?
Yet he voted for those spending bills under Biden.
I’m a male and I agree with you. I don’t see what others see in her looks or her personality.
I have my disagreements with Maddie on a very few issues, but the GOP would be a lot better off with many more like him.

I had no idea he is Soros backed. Soros should not have US citizenship.
I’m sorry Never, I don’t have proof of that about Massie.
