I’m a newly minted fan of Rep Massie. Just sold my home in Georgia to move off grid. Genuinely considering rural northern Kentucky for his brand of leadership.
I watched Tucker's recent exhaustive (and exhausting!) interview with him, and I was very impressed. Not only is he smart as a whip, he also seems to have unshakable principles, deeply held values, and a work ethic that includes physical labor! How someone like that could be a sitting member of Congress is both baffling and refreshing, plus he's been there long enough that if he were going to be corrupted it would have already happened. We shall watch and see. And if he pushes hard to close the Federal Reserve, I'll move to Kentucky, put his sign in my yard, and send him a check. :-)
Yes, Massie is the only America First politician we have and he's the only one who stands up to AIPAC. I'll keep donating to his campaign because he's the only one who is loyal to America and the American people.
We shoudn't be surprised, Massie is a quisling, Putin suporting 5th Columnist just like you Rubino. You've got a lot in common with that lunatic and MJT:
Thomas Massie's Russia Ties Resurface Ahead of Ukraine Aid Vote
Published Apr 18, 2024
By Ewan Palmer
Kentucky rep. Thomas Massie has been called out over his voting record and links to Russia down the years ahead of the House vote to provide additional military support for Ukraine.
House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed the lower chamber will be voting on three foreign aid bills on Saturday, including one which will provide nearly $61 billion for Ukraine to aid its defense against Russia's invasion.
The Ukraine funding proposals have been met with outcry from hardline members of the House GOP, including Massie and Georgia rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who are both supporting the introduction of a motion to vacate against Johnson for attempting to push the foreign aid bill through the House.
Ahead of Saturday's vote in the House, a number of social media users have criticized Massie for not backing additional aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, while noting his voting record in support of Moscow.
While sharing a clip of Massie saying he will support a motion to vacate Johnson over the Ukraine funding bill, author Dean Gloster posted on X, formerly Twitter: "Your quiet reminder that Thomas Massie is the most pro-Putin legislator of the 6 most pro-Putin Republicans in the House."
Gloster's post included a February 2022 article from The Hill which notes Massie was one of just six House members who voted against a bill to call on the government to collect evidence "related to war crimes and other atrocities committed during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine."
Massie was also just one of three House members to vote "no" on a bill to end normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus, which has supported Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, as well as a bill to ban imports of Russian oil, coal and gas.
The article notes how Massie was one of three House members who voted against a bipartisan resolution in which the lower chamber said they would stand "steadfastly, staunchly, proudly, and fervently behind the Ukrainian people in their fight against the authoritarian Putin regime."
The Rolling Stone article also notes that in 2017, Massie had met with Maria Butina, a Russian citizen who was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2019 after admitting to acting as an unregistered foreign agent to infiltrate conservative political groups and influence foreign policy to Russia's benefit before and after the 2016 election.
Soon after Butina was arrested, Massie wrote an opinion piece for Real Clear Politics in August 2018 claiming that America's "Russophobic rhetoric seems to have turned into a witch hunt."
In a post on X, historian Timothy Snyder wrote while sharing the Rolling Stone article: "Worth recalling that Rep. Massie socialized with Russian spies and defended one in the press."
In reply, Sanho Tree, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, highlighted the article's section on Butina. "They all knew Maria Butina, the Russian operative who infiltrated the NRA to manipulate Republicans. She was sent to jail and returned home to Russia to become a politician & internet troll.
"Moscow Massie has a lot of explaining to do due to his spotless voting record for Russia."
One of Tuckers most interesting interviews. Massie is brilliant. His account of building his own home & living completely off the grid is fascinating. And he’s funny.
Massie definitely a good guy. Politics aside, it was nice to drive through Tennessee and Kentucky (to Lexington) last week and see absolutely no chemtrails! Banned in TN and KY...we need more politicians like this!
Rep Massie is not from my state but I monthly donate to his campaign because of the above. I wish we had more like him; pragmatics with a spine and morals.

Time will tell. He sounds good "lately."

Thanks Tim, for another insightful and thought provoking comment.
Best regards
One of my favorite house members, and the polar opposite of the one in my own district.
Watched Tucker Carlson’s 2 hour interview with Massie - a must see! Smart son-of-a-gun (no pun intended).
Spot on.
One of Tuckers most interesting interviews. Massie is brilliant. His account of building his own home & living completely off the grid is fascinating. And he’s funny.
Wish he and his family were MY neighbors !
Massie definitely a good guy. Politics aside, it was nice to drive through Tennessee and Kentucky (to Lexington) last week and see absolutely no chemtrails! Banned in TN and KY...we need more politicians like this!
