JD Vance on Thomas Massie: Every Time We’ve Needed His Vote ‘He Has Been Completely Unwilling to Provide It’
Breitbart ^ | Oct 30, 2025 | Hannah Knudsen

“Having your own opinions is one thing. Voting against the party on every single issue, you’re eventually going to make too many enemies, and that is the problem that Thomas has had,” Vance told the crowd.

“It’s not one issue. It’s not three or four issues. It’s that every time that we’ve needed Thomas for a vote, he has been completely unwilling to provide it,” he said.

“It’s because we can never count on him for some of the most difficult votes. I wish that that weren’t the case. I say that as somebody who’s known Thomas well before I got into politics, but politics is politics, and when you always vote against the party, you can’t expect the party to actually back [you],” Vance added.

The anti-Trump, 'republican in name only' democrat massie needs to go...

massie, rand paul, and mcconnell... why does kentucky like politicians who want the republicans to remain the minority party, which never accomplishes anything except giving more power to the left, instead of supporting an America First agenda

Massie only votes with Republicans when they are in the minority. He plays the game well and always has enough suckers to go with him on primary election day.

Kentucky is weird. Red state but worthless Republicans and a democrat governor.

They may throw a fit, but they only seem to try to defend massie and rand paul in their own spam threads.

There, they can gaslight FR and selectively post information to create false narratives about how great their false idols are, and how ‘true conservatives’ should all support the fake rinos, true democrats, massie and paul against Trump’s agendas.

Eight terms 16 years, time for him to go home!
He needs to go back home and experience the “wisdom” of his governing.

He votes with the GOP over 90 percent of the time, has a 96 rating from Heritage, 92 from Club for Growth, an A from the National Taxpayers Union, an A+ from Gun Owners of American, 100 from Citizens Against Government Waste, 100 from NFIB, 100 from FreedomWorks, and 10 from the AFL-CIO.

Yeah, Massie is the problem here.

You are correct, and I'd like to see Vance answer the question of "exactly what votes are you referring to" since every time I look at Massie's voting record it doesn't support what Vance is saying.

Does anyone have an actual example of Massie's vote being the "needed" vote to get something to pass?

That's not true. Do you always make things up?

create false narratives...

How about an actual example of Massie not voting with the R's where his vote was the "needed" vote. Can you find one?

That is not true. Do you always lie, or just on Fridays?

Yes, he voted to protect the demonic Schifty Schift... Massie is a con man and while NOT IQ stupid is more evil than Schifty Schift on steroids.

Massie’s allegiance is to the US Constitution Not the GOP

That said, he votes 90% of the time with them and is a member in good standing and has been for many years (and decades)

I hate to use this term but his critics are being wicked and unkind that includes the VP Who should know better and should apologize for this nonsense because it is Trump’s personal “beef” (Argentinean or otherwise !) that is the issue and it goes back to COVID bill which Massie opposed passing in an empty chamber via voice vote.
