Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) rejected the House Republican's government spending bill, asserting it perpetuates Biden-era funding levels. Trump's response included threats of primary challenges against Massie, reflecting a tension within the GOP. Massie connected his current opposition with past resistance to the CARES Act, which he believes contributed to today's inflation. His stance has turned into a fundraising opportunity as he encourages supporters to back him due to his commitment to fiscal responsibility and truth-telling in Congress, despite potential backlash from party leaders.
It feels just like 2020. When I was the only one to oppose the CARES Act, the president threatened me. Then what happened? The spending bill caused all this massive inflation that we see now.
Massie has flipped Trump's attacks around and is now fundraising off of them. Why don't more Representatives stand on principle? Because telling the truth can get you in hot water.
