Thomas Massie Says He Votes With Republicans Most of the Time But Draws the Line at Taking Up For Pedophiles'

"So, Congressman, in the last two weeks, you repeated AOC's talking points on Venezuela, and Jasmine Crockett has retweeted you. When will you change your party affiliation to Democrat? asked Downs. Massie responded, I thought you knew. I vote with Republicans 91% of the time, and the 9% I don't, they're taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country."

"After Loomer posted video of the confrontation, branding it further evidence that Thomas Massie is in fact more of a Democrat than a Republican, Massie commented, Imagine posting this attempted ambush and thinking it was a hit on me, along with a laughing emoji. The congressman also mocked Loomer's employee over a moment in the confrontation where his voice cracked, which Massie attributed to puberty and a guilty conscience."

"Massie has recently come under heavy fire from President Donald Trump and his allies for refusing to toe the party line, especially when it comes to government documents relating to the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who Trump was friends with for many years. Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) spearheaded the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed Congress in November and compelled the Trump administration to release all unclassified documents relating to Epstein and his crimes an act which angered the president."

Rep. Thomas Massie was confronted in Congress by Charles Downs, an employee of informal Trump adviser Laura Loomer, over instances of splitting from the establishment Republican line. Downs accused Massie of echoing AOC's talking points on Venezuela and being retweeted by Jasmine Crockett, and asked when Massie would switch parties. Massie replied that he votes with Republicans 91% of the time and that the 9% he does not involves taking up for pedophiles, starting wars, or bankrupting the country. Loomer posted the confrontation video; Massie mocked the ambush and a voice crack. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Christina Pushaw publicly reacted. Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna led the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed in November and compelled the release of unclassified documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, drawing President Trump's ire.
