President Donald Trump has formally declared political battle on Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) for opposing the Trump-backed funding invoice geared toward stopping a authorities shutdown.
With the deadline to avert a partial authorities shutdown looming, President Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to rally behind a seamless decision (CR) to maintain the federal government funded by September.
“The Home and Senate have put collectively, beneath the circumstances, an excellent funding Invoice (“CR”)! All Republicans ought to vote (Please!) YES subsequent week. Nice issues are coming for America, and I’m asking you all to provide us a number of months to get us by to September so we will proceed to place the Nation’s “monetary home” so as. Democrats will do something they’ll to close down our Authorities, and we will’t let that occur. We now have to stay UNITED — NO DISSENT — Battle for one more day when the timing is true. VERY IMPORTANT. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday.
Nevertheless, Massie defiantly declared his opposition to the measure, branding it a capitulation to the established order of reckless spending and bureaucratic bloat.
“Except I get a lobotomy Monday that causes me to neglect what I’ve witnessed the previous 12 years, I’ll be a NO on the CR this week. It amazes me that my colleagues and most of the public fall for the lie that we’ll combat one other day,” Rep. Thomas Massie wrote on Sunday.
In a separate put up, Massie wrote, “The CR is a UNIPARTY deal. It doesn’t fund the wall. It does fund USAID. The democrats depart for a retreat on Wednesday, in order that they’ve already agreed to supply sufficient votes to go the CR. In the meantime, our election mandate will wane by this coming Sept.”
Massie made it clear he wouldn’t assist the CR, stating, “I’m not voting for the Persevering with Decision funds (cut-copy-paste omnibus) this week. Why would I vote to proceed the waste fraud and abuse DOGE has discovered? We have been advised the CR in December would get us to March after we would combat. Right here we’re in March, punting once more! WTFO”
GOP strategist Chris LaCivita responded to Massie’s put up, stating, “Tick Tock.”
Massie fired back at LaCivita, “Somebody thinks they’ll management my voting card by threatening my re-election. Guess what? Doesn’t work on me. Thrice I’ve had a challenger who tried to be extra MAGA than me. None busted 25% as a result of my constituents favor transparency and ideas over blind allegiance.”
One supporter weighed in, saying, “I really feel your ache Congressman Massie. We’re caught between a rock and a tough place. the MAGA revolution should proceed. We are going to by no means have one other probability like this. Lose some battles now to win the large battle later.”
Massie responded sharply, “The election was the battle. You received it. Now Congress is squandering that victory.”
Nevertheless, former President Donald Trump didn’t share Massie’s stance and responded with a blistering rebuke, calling for a main problem in opposition to him.
Thanks to the Home Freedom Caucus for simply delivering an enormous blow to the Radical Left Democrats and their need to boost Taxes and SHUT OUR COUNTRY DOWN! They hate America and all it stands for. That’s why they allowed MILLIONS of Criminals to invade our Nation. Typically it takes nice braveness to do the proper factor.
Congressman Thomas Massie, of lovely Kentucky, is an automated “NO” vote on nearly every little thing, although he has at all times voted for Persevering with Resolutions previously. HE SHOULD BE PRIMARIED, and I’ll lead the cost in opposition to him. He’s simply one other GRANDSTANDER, who’s an excessive amount of bother, and never well worth the combat.
He jogs my memory of Liz Chaney earlier than her historic, file breaking fall (loss!). The folks of Kentucky received’t stand for it, simply watch. DO I HAVE ANY TAKERS??? Anyway, thanks once more to the Home Freedom Caucus to your crucial vote.
We have to purchase a while so as to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. Unite and Win!!!
