Let's talk about Trump vs Massie (oh and here comes MTG with a chair)... - Belle of the Ranch

[TexasTowelie]

Well, howdy there Internet people. It's Belle again. So, today we're going to talk about Trump versus Massie, oh, and here comes MTG with a chair.

his is going to sound like just beltway gossip, but there's more to it, so stick with me. Trump launched into a social media rant about Republican Representative Massie shortly after the latest batch of the Epstein files were released. Massie was instrumental in ending Trump's attempt to keep them from the public's eye. His rant said, "People are saying that Thomas Massie became a liberal because his new wife, blessed be their marriage, is supposedly a radical left flamethrower. This new union all went so fast that maybe he didn't know what he was getting into, but nevertheless, he is an absolutely terrible and unreliable Republican. Perhaps a RINO or maybe even worse.”

Oh my. What's worse than a RINO? What would that be? An administration that doesn't support the Second Amendment or wants to take away the state's right to run their own elections? After a brief plug of somebody Trump's endorsing to run against Massie, he said, "Thomas Massie has been totally disloyal to the president of the United States and the Republican party. He never votes for us. He always goes with the Democrats. Thomas Massie is a complete and total disaster. We must make sure he loses big.”

Massie didn't swear an oath to Trump. He swore one to the Constitution. Massie responded by sharing a screenshot of Trump's post and said, "So now he's attacking my wife who voted for him three times. Maybe someone told him she's actually the one who suggested I ask Pam Bondi in person at a dinner when we would get phase two of the Epstein files. Bondi said there were no more files. As they say, the rest is history.”

This is honestly where I thought the exchange would end, but then former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene came off the top rope. It's a lengthy post, so I'm just going to hit the important parts, which are sadly not the funniest parts. I'll put a link below. "President Trump treats those who support him the most like crap. Thomas's wife voted for him three times. She's not a radical left flamethrower." After some pretty deep insults to Trump, she added, "Losing elections to Democrats in super red districts like Texas Senate, where Trump endorsed, should be sending warning alarms across the president's desk. But instead, he's attacking Republican Thomas Massie with one of the most conservative voting records in the House and his new wife with a three time MAGA voting record.

Let's be clear about what MTG is basically saying publicly. This reads to me like she's saying Trump doesn't get to decide who is a Republican because he hates his supporters and he's a weak sellout who can't even win elections in Texas. She's screaming that he's a lame duck and begging Republicans to notice it. She went on, "And all the weak Republicans in the House stay silent, refusing to utter even a word of support for their friend Thomas Massie. Shame on every one of you cowards. You make me sick." Remember, she's a barometer for large parts of Trump's base.

Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
