President Donald Trump took another shot at Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky again Tuesday afternoon, over his refusal to support the stop-gap ‘Continuing Resolution’ spending bill Republicans are trying to get approved before a Friday deadline.
Massie says he will not vote for the bill, because it maintains the same spending levels as before, without making any cuts, despite all the wasteful spending discovered by DOGE.
Republicans can only afford to lose one vote in the House and still pass the bill.
If it passes, it must then go to the senate, where Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has also voiced the same concern as Massie.
President Trump lashed out against Massie in a Truth Social post Monday night, calling for someone to run against him in the next election.
In a second post Tuesday afternoon, Trump added:
“Congressman” Thomas Massie voted to delay the Debt Ceiling Bill from the Biden Administration to the Trump Administration (from September before the Election, to June after the Election!), without getting anything for this horrendously stupid move — When Republicans could have gotten EVERYTHING they wanted.
He additionally voted to delay the current Budget Disaster from the Biden Administration to the Trump Administration. I was running for Office at the time, doing my thing, and when I heard about this, it was, quite simply, hard to believe — A catastrophic mistake!
Now, and virtually on every other vote, he’s a very simple, “NO.” He can’t even approve a Continuing Resolution when he approved them many times during his career as a “Congressman.” Thomas Massie is a GRANDSTANDER, and the Great People of Kentucky are going to be watching a very interesting Primary in the not too distant future!
Rep. Massie responded to the latest statement from the President, writing on X, “This tweet from Trump’s account is very misleading. I never voted for a CR that became law. I did vote for a CR under McCarthy that included an 8% cut to all discretionary spending, but unfortunately that CR did not become law. Do research and you’ll find I’ve been consistent.”
Massie added, “The CR isn’t Trump’s agenda. The CR extends the last year of Biden’s agenda at substantially the same spending levels.”
