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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Oh how "nosy" of us...
Always Massie
Attention hog
You can do much better Kentucky, this guy’s got issues.
The issue is poignant, but Massie may be correct in that it might be as effective as wearing ribbons.
The Clown Libertarian rides again!
I think it's more Massie wants his name in the news. The bill, as described, doesn't violate the chinese sovereignty, it simply addresses how America deals with people and organizations that participate.
Just you wait, Thomas Massie. Wait until you need GOP support for a bill you are proposing.
Trump is sucking up all the oxygen. How else is this guy gonna get noticed?
Jeff Yass owns a huge stake in Chicom’s Bytedance.
You may be right, but bills such as this one allows even the most vile congressmen to virtue signal. AOC and Crockett care about this??
What an absolute idiot.

Bet if China were murdering and then harvesting the organs of libertarian attention whore a-holes, Massie would’ve voted differently.
“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.”
Virtue signalling, parading himself as a paragon of purity in thought, is his stock-stock-in-trade.
So your argument is that if a bill addresses an issue so vile and repugnant that even AOC and Crockett feel the political pressure to turn on their Chi-Com masters, we should oppose it?
Massie is proving himself to be a self-absorbed psychopath. He needs to be primaried out next year.
Massie is a bought and paid for attention hog. He’s a dirty bird. Something so communist about forced organ theft. Massie knows they kill the people after the organ harvest. I could imagine his take on the Nazi ovens: not our business.
Go wash your GREASY HAIR, assie.
No, there are 100 issues where their attention might make a positive difference. This bill only gives thin gruel rationality to the dummy voters who are easily swayed.
Just another Diva belting out his Aria ... look at me ... look at me
Rand Paul and Thomas Massie, with friends like these, who needs enemas?
