Massie voted for H1-b Indians...

I wonder how Kentuckians think about this. Make it so.

Graham has voted for most of President Trump’s agenda. Massie has not. That makes a bit of a difference in the endorsement department, most likely, would you not think?

We’ll see if he can rebound. He is currently polling at 19% among Republican primary voters in his district.

Lone Republican becomes only lawmaker to vote against crackdown on human organ trafficking "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."

“Why is Trump doing this”

Why is Massie doing this?

“I think what’s going to happen, this will be a referendum on whether the executive branch controls the legislative branch,” Massie said during a Tuesday interview with NBC News.

“I am going to prevail. What they are going to find out is it will embolden members of Congress here to go with their heart, with their minds, with their constituents and not just toe the party line,” Massie told NBC’s Sahil Kapur.

______________

What a bunch of BS. First he says the executive branch is trying to control the legislative branch, which is absolutely ridiculous. President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party who has been given a mandate by an overwhelming majority of Americans

Then he says it will embolden congress to vote with their constituents rather than the party.

So, Mad Massie is signaling he is emboldened to vote with Democrats.

You should be asking what needs to be covered up as it relates to Epstein…

Actually, I’m far more interested in which politicians had money shelled out on their behalf via a tax payer slush fund but nobody seems to care a whit about that.

Massie is very loyal to China.

As he was to Joe Biden’s Spending Behemoth bills.

Oh stop it. Massie was in office long before Trump. Trump has never helped Massie win. Congress is not an arm of the Executive Branch. “Betrayal,” indeed. We put these people in office to represent us. They are not a rubber stamp for POTUS. If a democrat had stood up and voted against Biden’s priorities, you would be cheering them.

Instead of making inane threats Mr. Massie, why don’t you do some examination of your voting career?

He would be.

He’s a traitor just like McConnell.

“In office” NOT President. I’d love for you holier than thou Massie worshippers to have just one month of Rand or Massie as President. See how much those blowhards get done with opposition in every direction.

What Trump has accomplished is nothing short of a miracle. But it’s not perfect so let’s fantasize about an America Perfect Party that won’t win shit or do shit.

Most of the time he just raises hell about things and then when time to vote, he votes “Present”.

You are talking to irrational people. They hate Lindsey Graham no matter what he does. I see Lindsey Graham as useful for supporting the Trump agenda. I don’t care if he likes it in the rump, he supports Donald Trump. While Massie is just a libertarian skunk saboteur.

Massie’s approach: “It’s my pet issues all at once or the highway”.
