Massie: "I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is gonna get embarrassed because he went to Rape Island. That is what they have coming. In fact, they need to be on the other side of bars, a lot of them."

1. Credit where credit is due

I share almost zero political beliefs as Thomas Massie, but compared to 99 % of other Republicans, he has stepped up on this and deserves credit.

[get the red out]

11. Yes

Disagreeing with Republicans on policy is normal. Having an entire political party controlled by one, insane faction is not, and I respect an R that stands up to the pressure of our wannabe dictator. Getting primaried is the least of their worries with all the death threats to them and their families if they defy the great leader. Not that I will ever agree with Massie on much, but that is politics.

[democratsruletheday]

15. I GUESS he should be commended but in the end he's

still pretty despicable overall. Speaking out against pedos doesn't qualify him for Repuke of the year IMO. Guy is still poison.

2. Massie's on a mission. "Damn the torpedoes,

full speed ahead”.

[womanofthehills]

20. What I love about this statement is -

Trump has 3 billionaire donors who are funding an opposition candidate to Massie. I bet it’s one of those 3 billionaires.

Massie knows all the names. He said if any are left out - he will let the world know.

3. Donvict has already taken steps to primary him

Do any of his MAGA supporters stop to ask why? Or wonder why he was labeling it the 'Epstein Hoax' up until last week when he had no choice but to admit maybe it was real but then say it was all Democrats? Of course not. That's why he describes his base as Low Information Voters and that's why he loves them!

19. Massie & Ro Khanna

Ro Khanna & Massie have collaborated on bills over the yrs but the “Epstein Files Transparency Act “ has been their biggest collaboration.

Now that it passed - it’s supposed to include victims statements. Let’s see how Trump gets around that.

The fact that Trump despises Massie is interesting as more Republicans are liking Massie better than Trump over on X. Many Republicans over on X want a Massie/MTG run in 2028. They are definitely not into J D Vance. Although Trump hates Massie and has 3 wealthy donors funding the opposition- many think at least one of his big donors could be on the Epstein list. Massie is getting donations from all over US. He is a gun toting guy but Republicans like that he built his own house, is off grid and anti war.

He seems more honest than Trump & his gang and he and MTG in the end convinced all the other Republicans to vote for his and Ro Khanna’s
bill.
Trump is fuming- the mega adulterer just attacked Massie for marrying too soon (a yr & a half) after Massie’s long time sick wife died. A wife he had been with for over 30 yrs.

I’m really liking Ro Khanna for co sponsorship of this bill. The young Dems like him and he knows how to market himself to the young like Mamdani did. Love our younger progressive Dems!! It’s weird when 50 is a young Dem.

4. Massie, to my suprise, seems to be a true conservative. I don't agree with him on most things, either,

but he is intelligent, educated, and appears to have integrity.

[wolfie001]

5. If you scroll down on X, you see Massie and family all holding assault weapons in front of an XMAS tree

Somebody wrote the well-used bon mot: a clock is correct twice a day.

[Danmel]

8. Once a day if it's a 24 hour clock

[wolfie001]

17. lol nt

[3825-87867]

9. Unless it's a 24 hour clock!

!

[Bengus81]

12. should be...even a broken clock is correct twice a day

[democratsruletheday]

16. exactly wolfie....he's a total

Ahole

[wolfie001]

18. He was silent about women dying in hospital parking lots due to pregnancy complications

I'm sure of it. Just a guess but that thinking is endemic in the rePUKE party.

[womanofthehills]

21. Compared to Trump - he's a huge improvement

At least he finds raping of kids horrific and killing Palestinian kids horrific too.

Last election he had, AIPAC spent 400 thousand against him and he and MTG are probably the only two Republicans not taking AIPAC money. He’s the only Republican working with our progressive Dems against war. He’s a Republican- what can I say - but definitely not pure evil like Trump.

[kerouac2]

6. I'll take...

I'll take "things you can say if you didn't go to rape island" for 200 Alex."

[sop]

7. Massie's courage will quickly spread throughout the Republican party once the shit starts hitting the fan.

Make room on your bandwagon, Mr. Massie...

[vanlassie]

10. But is it courage, Massie Style if you

held back and let him take the first punches and you only step in and pick up a few pieces? …Maybe that’s courage, Republican style.

[Bengus81]

13. Yeah...is Massie going to stand up to other Trump and fellow Republicans outrages?

Taking health care away from 24M people on Jan 1st. Medicaid being GUTTED by $9.1M per year for a decade? Hospitals closing,people dying.

How about those Massie?

[BComplex]

14. Who wants to bet Massie is speaking from experience?

Too many people think rape only happens to little girls. Just sayin'.... he's been spot on everything he has said, and it has seemed to me that it was totally heart-felt.

I don't care whose party you're in. Rape victims remember, and their bodies remember.
