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.

I said your guys, Massie and Paul, and named them.

Yes you are a person of one, one divisive poster who is a person of one. A person of one who posts all these crappy nitpicky whiny articles and threads every day.

That's you.

But you are okay with the Democrats purposely creating the resistance in order to crete the optics, and ensure that the task at hand to become confrontational?

You must be okay with the fact that Biden allowed a massimmigration outside the laws of immigration that created the need to deport these illegal invaders that Trump ran on & was elected on those campaign promises, not just by electoral, but also popular vote majoity, and to heck wiith what people want, therefore we must accept these illegal invaders , provide them with amnesty, because the optics look so terrible, and give the Democrat mor representation in Congess, along with newly minted new Democrat voters?

You must be okay with the increased violentcriminal eleement into this nation who are committing horrendous criminal acts against America?

You must be a RINO upporter. Never mind, I know that you are.

“”Freepers, whatever you think of Thomas Massie please read/watch this video and tell me if you’re ok with these strong-arm tactics. I think it’s crossing a line, profoundly undemocratic and I’d like to think un-American.
I’m not happy about it and I dont think you will be either.””

Happy? Try... ecstatic. So nice to know that there are actual consequences for ‘some’ cretins who have chosen to be a thorn in Trump’s side and who have gone against the majority of MAGA voters. So Massie’s whining is, in fact, music to my ears. More! Louder! Encore!

Exactly! Randy / Assie hold the country hostage with the Democrats.

Why should anyone care about a Randy / Assie?

When Biden admin. and officials abused their positions we called them out

It’s not okay for Trump’s officials to do this. Just be consistent is all I ask

“”He votes with GOP about 90% of the time. Look it up””

***

LOL! So your argument and defense of him is that he ONLY votes with the DemocRATS 10% of the time? You are seriously disturbed, dude.

Even if this is true, pressure isn't necessarily abuse.

That you don't know the difference between the abuse that Biden did and this doesn't help my opinion of you.

You're nitpicking and whining pretending there's some kind of equivalence.

You should be clear, this is not equivalent. Not even close. Please stop whining about the truth.

Impeach him.

That’s what Massie can start.

Tell him you support the impeachment of 45-47.

He can get Ilhan Omar on board.
She’s due for some support from Massie

The threats are coming from the opther side, but of course you have those Massie blinder's on that prevent you from seeing who is making the real threats.

Let he provide this to you also for consumption:

The Pretti Case Exposes a Dangerous Lie,/a>

Fools like you & Massie are a part of the reason our nation is on the precipce of falling. Perhaps this guy's thoughtful analysis, instead of you & Massies's absoultely nothing more than an emotional response, because neither of you can think beyone your petty emotional driven opinions.

Excuse me, but these law ebnforcement were operating under the laws created by Congress. Biden, iognored those laws.

Big difference, and again your emotiional blinders are causing you tyo be incorrect, which makes your arguments completely iunvalid.

Anyway, if you feel that way just let the thread die

You dont have to post or read them all. I sure don’t.

Fact is this post has 2 million views nearly elsewhere. We’re small fry in comparison to that
