GOP Rep Massie joins Democrats in opposition to US Iran strikes
foxnews ^ | Feb 28, 2026 | Eric Mack

One of President Donald Trump's longtime Republican critics, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., joined Gang of Eight Democrats in opposition to Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets.

Trump has not sought congressional approval for an attack on Iran, Massie wrote on X, rebuking "acts of war unauthorized by Congress."

"When Congress reconvenes, I will work with @RepRoKhanna to force a Congressional vote on war with Iran. The Constitution requires a vote, and your Representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war."

massie joins with the dems to oppose Trump attacking iran

massie appears to feel protecting iran from being attacked, and continue developing nukes or other wmds so it can enact it's agenda of 'death to america' is more important than Trump's desire to neutralize a terrorist country

It’s misinformation to put “R-KY” after this clown’s name.

Can’t help but wonder if Massie is one of the lawmakers the Venezuelan whistleblowers say is on the payroll of Venezuela.

I say if Massie and the democrats (but I repeat myself) want to get a vote on this they should first have to vote to stop a standing filibuster on the SAVE Act. This is the perfect chance for Thune. Remove Mitch mcConnell from the Rules Committee and bring the SAVE Act to the floor immediately. Gotta wonder if the Turtle is on Venezuela’s payroll as well...

Iran supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, Houtis. Iran endlessly calling for “death to America”. Iran reneging on every agreement to stop developing nuclear weapons and long range missiles. Iran attacking U.S. bases, servicemen and civilians. Iran killing their own people. Yeah, I don't know about Massie, but I am done with them.

I doubt Mitch knows anything that happens these days. His mind has been gone for some time.

Simple, Its Isolationism. With The fall of the Warsaw Pact, it made a comeback.

Nope. Massie joined nothing. He is simply STAYING a liberal democrat.

Iran endlessly calling for “death to America”.

Yeah, we have politicians saying the same, right here in the United States, especially Minnesotastan, and they're given billions of money borrowed by the U.S. government to be paid back by U.S. citizens, their children, grandchildren, and beyond their great-grandchildren.

That’s funny … when Obama was in the White House, Trump was saying the exact same thing that Massie is saying right now.
