At a rally in a car park outside his campaign headquarters in Florence, Kentucky, on Saturday, congressman Thomas Massie said that the Republican politicians who joined him had made a brave choice.
"I'm sure they'll be punished for coming here today," he said.
It didn't take long for Massie's warning to prove prophetic, as Donald Trump took to Truth Social to make his displeasure known.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who had been barnstorming with Massie all weekend, and Rand Paul, the Kentucky senator who endorsed Massie and shares his unorthodox small-government libertarianism, were "parading around like fools for the worst Republican congressman in the history of our party".
The president called Boebert "weak-minded" and "dumb" and said that he would withdraw his endorsement of her if a Republican challenger came forward.
Trump's threats weren't exactly realistic.
Paul doesn't stand for re-election for another two years. The filing date to run against Boebert in the Colorado Republican primary has already passed. But Trump's animosity toward Massie is very real - and it has had real consequences.
Even as Trump was visiting China last week, he was firing off posts attacking the congressman, whose district stretches along the Ohio River from the suburbs of Louisville and Cincinnati to the foothills of Appalachia. He has called him a "moron", a "loser", a "lowlife" and a "major sleazebag".

Massie works against this fight. He's on the other side. He wants open borders, the thing that destroyed your country. He didn't want to fund the deportations of these horrible people. You shouldn't support this fraud as you do.
The important votes to stop this destruction he was on the wrong side. He is on the wrong side when it counts. 33% of the time he was wrong. And those were important votes to what you claim is your side.
He deserves to lose.
There were similar such accusations against Trump.

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.

‘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.

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.

The difference is, the allegations against Trump had no merit. If you follow the crazy lady's lawsuit against him, it's clear he didn't know her, and couldn't have done what she claimed. The leftist NY jury convicted him, and even that has been nullified. Because There was no proof, not a shred. It's why only the crazed lefties believe the allegations.
This woman did become Massie's girlfriend, two months after Massies's wife died. It's pretty clear they were sleeping together. She had reported all this stuff much earlier than now. She has a lot of receipts. She seems believable compared to him.
Whether it's true or not, I'm enjoying the irony of Massie, who joined with the dems in trying to claim Trump was part of the Epstein crimes, is now being hoisted on his own petard.
Apparently Massie is the Republican version of Swalwell as well. Banging Boobert on the boner phone is a tawdry scandal.
Not to mention that the reason mASSie gave for voting down the SAVE Act was pure double D BS - he voted for a lot of other bills that suffered the same “deficiencies” he named as his excuse for not voting for something that would help secure our elections - one wo’s “principles change like that has no moral compass - and makes the sex perversion stories all the more believable.

The answer is NO, Pinecone.
He earned every bit of it and more.
Nevertheless, Massie is a scumbag and traitor and needs to go down.
I’m in Illinois. God knows we have our problems.
C’MON KENTUCY, VOTE MASSIE OUT!
“Massie appears upbeat and reports from the district are that he has enthusiasm and momentum among activists. I wish him luck of course.”
