Rep. Thomas Massie Accuses Trump Admin. of "Mafia" like tactics
X ^ | Jan 28 | Rep. .Massie / Jimmy Dore

Posted on 01/28/2026 12:27:40 PM PST by RandFan

@Holden_Culotta

Thomas Massie just exposed that Trump is threatening to “ruin” his supporters’ businesses if they fund his campaign.

“I’m not talking about IRS audits.”

“It’s bigger than that.”

“Here’s what happens behind the scenes … ”

First, Trump allies are coercing Massie’s consultants into quitting his re-election campaign:

“Three of my consultants have quit on my campaign, all three for the same reason.”

“They were told: your other 30 clients will fire you if you keep working for Massie.”

“They make it hard to hire people.”

“I really love the consultants I got now, because they’re the ones who said: screw you, I’m gonna work for Massie brcause I believe in what he’s doing, and I’m good enough at my job, I’ll go find some other clients if you clowns fire me.”

Second, Trump allies are threatening to “ruin” Massie supporters’ businesses by abusing state power:

“I’ve got 15,000 donors across the United States. My average donation is $80.”

“Is that because I don’t want millionaires to give to a super PAC and to help me?”

“No. I’ll take all the help I can get.”

“The problem is, if you’ve reached some degree of success where you have a million-dollar disposable income, you probably can’t afford to tick off this administration, or they will come at your business.”

“You won’t get the permits you need to do the business.”

“Over the MAGA split and on foreign policy, there are people of great means … who could put money in my race and post up against the Israel First billionaires.”

“But they’re staying on the sidelines, because their business will get ruined.”

This is why Marjorie Taylor Greene left Washington.

The Trump administration is abusing its power and influence to crush populist, America First voices in the Republican Party.

Mrs. Paul, why are you even still here?
You aren’t going to influence conservatives, no matter how hard you try.
This site is for conservatives.
You are not a conservative.
You are on the wrong site.

I dont like these tactics or threats.

But you do like posting any thread that could show this administration in a bad light. Even if that light is skewed by stupid, democrat-lite aholes like Ru Paul or Massie.

Anything to get a rise against Trump.

You only post crap like this. Instead you could be posting about the accelerating economy, or the great investment being made in America, or the border that is now effective, or any of the hundreds of news pieces showing America is doing well again.

But no, you post crap like this.

You sir are a professional agitator here. A nit picking nabob of negativity. That's what you do each day. Congrats to the greatest black piller on FR.

Easier said than done. I would think.
It even happens within our own party.
Ever heard of The Turtle?

I doubt posting here will do much more than that!

The cat is out of the bag and I think it’s worth discussing and in my opinion we should condemn it

I don’t see how this is effectively anything different from what Assie has already been doing to Trump on key votes.

Trump is just trying to level the playing field Randy and Assie first made.

I dont think so

It’s crossing a line threatening to ruin people and abusing government positions to do it

You rightly condemned Biden for doing the same

"I don't like these tactics or threats."

I don't like drama queens like Rand Paul and Tom Massie, but you don't see me posting articles about them. I don't have to anyway, because I know you'll make a fool of yourself doing it.

Of course it does. It's a Republican attacking Trump. The Left loves those kinds of posts and guys like Massie love the clicks. So....

So silly.

Your guys are such whiners and losers. Losers who abet destruction and evil. After all they've done opposing so many good things Trump has done and is doing, your guy snivels about some "pressure".

That's all you've got today? Boo hoo.

"There are people abusing their power in government by doing this"

Name them instead of making insinuations. Tell Massie to name them. And if Tommy can't take the heat, he should finally join his buddies in the RAT party, so he doesn't have to pretend he's a member of the GOP anymore.
