On top of all the above moments, we’re going to link to an investigation that has shown how many other times there were resolutions in Congress to criticize or punish Russia for executing its political enemies, or its annexation of Crimea, and how the only people who voted against the bills were Thomas Massie and “Putin’s favorite Congressman” of the time, Dana Rohrabacher. By default, Massie is now Putin’s favorite. And considering he was wining and dining Maria Butina prior to her arrest, and also had dinner with Alexander Torshin, maybe that should be a major concern.
But Kentucky’s 4th sent Massie forward from the 2022 GOP Primary with 75% of the vote, and on Election Day of that year, re-elected Thomas Massie with 65% of the vote. Maybe they aren’t aware of everything we just listed, or they just like seeing someone in DC who pisses off the rest of Congress out of spite to the overall political process. Or days after a mass shooting carried out by an angry teenager whose parents seemed to enable him by putting guns in his hand as their only approval or attention to their kid… posts gleeful photos of himself and his whole family for the holidays armed to the teeth like they’re celebrating gun deaths. Y’know, showing they’re blue collar gun lovers by wielding an arsenal worth more than most American families make in a year.
Or maybe so Massie can keep quoting Neo-Nazis.
A white nationalist, libertarian wing conservative with no empathy whatsoever. At this point, it’s the Venn diagram of Republican identity.
