Once belittled by then-President Trump as a third-rate grandstander, Rep. Thomas Massie is used to tilting at political windmills.
In early March, the Kentucky Republican was one of just three lawmakers to oppose the first piece of legislation designed to show U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against an invading Russian army, a familiar lonely spot for the libertarian-leaning lawmaker frequently at odds with his partys leaders.
But on Monday, Massie spoke to Trump for the first time in more than two years and received the former presidents endorsement in the May 17 Kentucky primary. And on Tuesday, 56 Republicans joined Massie in opposing the latest push to send arms to the Ukrainian forces.
Its growing by the week, he told reporters in an impromptu 20-minute conversation off the House floor Friday. He suggested the price tag so far was insane and that sanctions against Moscow only increase inflation. More and more people are agreeing with that.

(3,704 posts)It's the right thing to do, it supports an independent country and people, it supports the institution of Democracy, the Ukrainians believe in the right of a woman to choose, it supports religious freedom, and their president is way better looking than trump. What's not to hate if you are a republican?
