TRUMP-MASSIE FEUD REACHES FEVER PITCH
The Hill ^ | 06/28/25 12:00 PM ET | by Julia Manchester

Posted on 06/28/2025 10:32:01 AM PDT by RandFan

President Trump’s feud with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is showing no signs of abating as the president seeks to oust the GOP congressman for his history of regularly breaking with the administration.

Massie recently opposed the administration by denouncing its strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and refusing to support the president’s legislative agenda, leading Trump’s political operation to launch a targeted campaign against Massie.

On Friday, a Trump-aligned super PAC, led by the president’s co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita, rolled out its first ad as part of a $1 million ad buy targeting Massie. The 30-second ad — titled “What happened to Thomas Massie?” — hit the GOP congressman over his opposition to Trump-supported legislation to fund border security and cut taxes. It also ties him to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

But Massie isn’t backing down.

He hit back in a post on the social platform X, appearing to refer to measures in Trump’s legislative agenda that the Senate parliamentarian opposed, including blocking Medicaid funds to be used for gender-affirming care.

“The BBB now allows funding sex changes for minors!” Massie said, referring to what Trump calls the “big, beautiful bill.” “This ad slams me for voting against the BBB, but the Senate just stripped the ‘ban on sex changes for minors’ from the BBB. By the ads’ twisted logic, those who support the Senate’s edits now support sex changes for minors.”

Very interesting: If you type “WHAT HAPPENED TO THOMAS MASSY” into YouTube’s search engine, it will not take you to the ad. Instead it shows many pro-Massy webpages. But if you click “The 30 Second Ad” underlined in the Hill article it will take you to the ad ON YOUTUBE. So, the ad is on YouTube but YouTube’s search engine will not take you there. Hard to believe that YouTube would hide something on their website, but there you are. The censorship by online media continues.

VERY interesting, indeed!

“””This is epic needless to say I support Massie 100% and hope some Freepers do too. “””

I expect all your fellow democrats also approve of Massie and Kid Rand.

He’s an idiot.

He knows the Senate is doing no such thing.

Thune will have to ignore the parliamentarian eventually. I’m sure Trump will “convince” him.

Massie maintains his opposition to the BBB and says he has the Trump antibodies. 😉

Massie is not worth Trump’s finger. This Jeffersonian loudmouth meeds to have a true Jacksonian take his seat.

I support both Massie and Trump at about the 95% level. We didn't declare war on Iran and have no imminent threat. No long range ICBMs, not because Iran can't build one, but because they won't. Their nukes and medium range missiles would be about the same threat as Pakistan's.

As for the bill, it's dead. Massie just recognized that sooner. The Senate might pass something but that will be too far removed from the House version to get the same votes.

The important thing to remember is there are lots of Trump haters out there, but Massie isn't one of them.

False dichotomy. Both Trump and Massie have policies that are mistaken, and they can both be criticized. Massie's main flaw is to do nothing. Trump is still trying to be the air power president. We will run out of both offensive and defensive missiles if he keeps that up.

Massie is the last real Constitutionalist in Washington DC.
********
He’s holding everything good in the bill (tax cuts, regulatory relief, and more) hostage to the perfect (his spending cuts) when the perfect doesn’t have the votes. If we end-up losing Trump’s expiring tax relief, it’ll be his fault.
