You said he's only willing to compromise to working with DEMOCRATS. Which isn't true because when a DEMOCRAT was in office he voted with him on 1.8% of the time, the lowest in the House. Doesn't seem like he was compromising much.txags92 said:DeepETX_Aggie said:txags92 said:
Those community notes are just as misleading. If the bill funded ICE and he voted against it, then he voted against funding ICE. That is a factual statement.

another lie.No, Thomas Massie does not vote with Democrats 99% of the time. That's false. FiveThirtyEight data from the 117th Congress shows he voted with Biden's positions only 1.8% of the time—the lowest in the House. He's a constitutional conservative known for opposing big spending,…

Where did I say he voted with them 99% of the time? I said he was only willing to compromise with them. There is a difference that you apparently are too involved in defending him to understand. He votes with the Rs about the same as the average R house rep., but when it counts and you have to take some good with the bad, he will be there standing with the Ds.

I have. It seems that you have issue with him holding onto his conservative principles. I wish we had 435 of him in the House.

Got primaried because he opposed AIPAC. The entire maga coalition is opposed him because of it. Goes to demonstrate who runs "maga".
Massie's political mistake was aligning with the far leftists to "fight" back.

Quote:
Congressman" Thomas Massie voted to delay the Debt Ceiling Bill from the Biden Administration to the Trump Administration (from September before the Election, to June after the Election!), without getting anything for this horrendously stupid move When Republicans could have gotten EVERYTHING they wanted. He additionally voted to delay the current Budget Disaster from the Biden Administration to the Trump Administration. I was running for Office at the time, doing my thing, and when I heard about this, it was, quite simply, hard to believe A catastrophic mistake! Now, and virtually on every other vote, he's a very simple, "NO." He can't even approve a Continuing Resolution when he approved them many times during his career as a "Congressman." Thomas Massie is a GRANDSTANDER, and the Great People of Kentucky are going to be watching a very interesting Primary in the not too distant future!

He put a target on himself all the way back when he famously told Tucker that all our politicians have "aipac handlers". This is information you are not supposed to be aware of.

Haha Massie is a madman.
To be clear- they are going to try and gaslight you to thinking this is all happening because he went against Trump. In actual reality, Massie went against the Israel lobby and that is why there is this campaign to take him out.

Who's to say. But money talks. This fiasco has proven what matters above any other political issue. Don't question AIPAC.

The Trump Massie beef started during Covid when opposed the Covid response bill for endless money printing and indemnifying Congress and the entire medical apparatus to push mRNA "vaccines".
All hail or else it seems for Trump.

Funny how all the "rock ribbed libertarian conservatives" supporting Massie pivot directly to anti-israel talking points when his conservative district picks somebody else instead of him. Can't be that politics is a team game and he had no idea how to be a team player and still work towards the things that were important to him. Nope, "It was the Joos!"
A guy who nobody has ever heard of is projected to beat Thomas Massie because AIPAC, Miriam Adelson and the Republican Jewish Coalition poured $32 million into his campaign
