Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said in a Sunday interview he’s not afraid of facing backlash from former President Trump for backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) campaign against the former president.
“I’ve got the Trump antibodies,” Massie, a surrogate for DeSantis’s campaign, told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream when she asked whether he’s worried about the “price” he “might pay” for backing DeSantis over Trump.
Massie pointed to his opposition to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law under Trump on March 27, 2020, to aid in the pandemic recovery early on. Massie said he was attacked by Trump at the time and, therefore, is less afraid now.
“He came at me for opposing the CARES Act. I was the only congressman who did. I said it was going to cause inflation, that it would cause shortages. And oh, by the way, it funded the mail-in ballots and spent $2 trillion,” Massie said. “Contrast that with Ron DeSantis. He called me up while everybody was hating on me, including that president, and said, ‘I’m going to open our economy and make sure our kids go to school.’”
“Now, Trump came at me and I won my reelection, so I’m not worried about it, but I think there are — a lot of those endorsements aren’t wholehearted endorsements,” Massie said, referring to the recent endorsements Trump has gotten from Republican politicians spanning the ideological spectrum.
Massie said he thinks other members are endorsing Trump out of fear of retribution if Trump wins.

It is a terrible curse to possess an independent mind. The lemming named Thomas heads AWAY from the cliff. He needs his mind adjusted!
KY Republicans are strange.

Fraud Massie also joined Dems to prevent higher Tariffs on toxic Chinese parts
When he saves Joe, he says he doesn’t think his position is to impose his Ideology! Hahahaha!
Who’ is he supposed to “impose?”
Sucker born every minute
He even looks like another McConnell.
What price would he pay? I don’t care that he supported Ron.
It would be nice to hear Trump admit any mistake he made while in officeAS all Republicans, like the Bushes, before him have done.
BTW, Trump accomplished more for Americans in a 4 year term than any President in your lifetime.
Massie was the LEAD on Congressional investigation of the fake J6 DNC pipe-bomb story.
Tucker Carlson, and we know what we now know, because of Massie.
Don’t expect conformity from him, but he’s still doing very good work.
Yes
