And by having acted like a total Massholeand having also forced all the Democratic congressmen to fly in and risk exposure, he has burned all bridges. With Romney and McCain, you always had a little bit of bipartisan defense coming from the Democratic side whenever Trump went after them. But after this stunt, nobody, absolutely nobody will be coming to Massie's aid.
Way to brainlessly repeat the idiotic and childish kerry insult.
"absolutely nobody will be coming to his aid" vs reality:

In times of panic, it is good to have someone with a cool, level MIT head asking the tough questions. Thank you

It’s like the president fed a Thomas Massie word cloud to an AI tweet generator.

I stood to have the votes recorded, as did several members. If a recorded vote had been supported, with a quorum present, it would have taken almost no additional time (just a few minutes) to get a tally on the bill. It’s done electronically.

I don’t know a member of Congress more principled or dedicated to the Constitution than
@RepThomasMassie
.
@SpeakerPelosi
delayed this process repeatedly and sent the House into recess before its job was complete. Big mistake!

is a good man and a great friend. I don’t always agree with him (like today), but I always respect him personally.

Massie is a 1000 percent correct here. It's absolutely baffling that any American citizen would be angry at the ONE congressman who actually wants to follow the Constitution and do his job. I cannot fully articulate the contempt I have for such stupidity.

Massie was absolutely right. lawmakers should have been forced to record their votes on this massive corporate bailout.If Pelosi had allowed remote voting they could have done so without violating CDC guidelines.
The Rush Limbaugh show had him on:

Thomas Massie
Today I joined the Rush Limbaugh show with guest host
@kenmatthews
to talk about the unconstitutional attempt by leadership on both sides of the aisle to pass the LARGEST SPENDING BILL EVER without actually voting. Miss the interview? You can listen here:

The backlash to Massie stems from Members not wanting to be on the official record when this bailout proves to be an ineffectual and corrupt acceleration of consolidated corporate power -- that does very little for regular people. Enjoy your one-time $1,200 check though

"@RepThomasMassie is one of the most principled men in Congress & loves his country. He is defending the Constitution today by requiring a quorum. There’s nothing 3rd rate about that, @realDonaldTrump. I may miss vote if he forces roll call (flights) but it will pass. Back off,"

#IStandWithMassie. Your tweet is BS. There is always value in minority voices in this country. #SassiewithMassie

Mr. President. @RepThomasMassie is a good man and a solid conservative. He believes in the Constitution strongly. We won’t always agree on strategy or policy. But he doesn’t warrant this dressing down. Thomas—Hang tough brother.
