Well one Republican hasn’t been fully neutered by Trump. How about the rest of you?

    Y’all gotta read more than the headline.

    Rep. Tom Massie has been the key most Libertarian Congressperson that consistently gives strong Ron Paul circa 2009 energy. He’s been a constant headache for Trump because he doesn’t ever like Trump’s policy positions for not being insane enough. The lone No vote against the antisemitism resolution just for show.

      Yeah, he’s a bad person with a few good points that make him stand out.

      He was critical of the patriot act, thinks medial marijuana patients should be allowed to to buy guns, was one of the only two Nays on the Take it Down act, etc.

      But he basically thinks the FDA, EPA, and Federal Reserve shouldn’t exist, thinks lynching shouldn’t be a hate crime, is against the ACA, doesn’t like disaster relief, thought it was wrong to imprison an admitted unregistered foreign agent(spy), thought Rittenhouse should have emptied the clip, is a hardline anti-abortionist, etc. e. And on and on it goes.

        He also doesn’t think billionaires should pay taxes. He is a nutjob. Ignore him.

        I mean, that’s simply statistics. The dude votes on 100 bills and isn’t simply following the party line, a few will not be votes for stupidity or hate.

        The GOP cares that he isn’t “loyal” and still gets elected and Trump endorsements when he is clearly going to win anyway. That’s about it.
