Thomas Massie wins Republican primary for U.S. House

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Incumbent U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie won the Republican primary for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District.

Massie has been in Congress since 2012, when he won both a special and regular election to fill former Rep. Geoff Davis' open seat.

...

Nicknamed "Mr. No," Massie often makes headlines for frequently voting no in the House. He was recently one of three congressmen to vote against the House's resolution to "stand steadfastly, staunchly, proudly and fervently" behind Ukraine. Massie said there were "many reasons" he voted no, including that continuing support could mean the U.S. is in constant conflict with Russia.

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Massie, the man he once called a "third-rate Grandstander," one week before Tuesday's primary. In his endorsement, Trump called Massie a "conservative warrior" and "first-rate defender of the Constitution."

Trump did not endorse Massie in 2020, though it had no impact on his races.

KEYWORDS:
Interesting I did not know that Donald Trump endorsed Massie in this race because he wanted to remove him once from the party.

This a huge positive and goes to show you that Trump is a good leader who can change his mind and bury the hatchet.

Massie was on the Tim Pool show with Marjorie Taylor Green. It’s definitely worth checking out as Massie made a lot of good points and gave great insight into the congressional machine.

Or at least compromise when necessary to win seats to gain control of the house.

“He was recently one of three congressmen to vote against the House’s resolution to “stand steadfastly, staunchly, proudly and fervently” behind Ukraine.”

WOW!!! Not willing to support the Democrats and Neocons on Ukraine. What a HORRIBLE person!

It is called “speaking truth to power”.

The leftists used to be in favor of it before they seized power.
