Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) ripped into the Republican Party’s leadership on Thursday after Vice President JD Vance called him out by name and claimed the party can’t rely on his support in Congress.
Vance was asked at a Turning Point USA event in Mississippi on Wednesday why Massie has earned the ire of President Donald Trump, who has publicly lashed out at the congressman.
According to Vance, Massie has made issues by going against the party on “every issue.” This is despite the fact that the Libertarian-leaning congressman actually votes with his party 91% of the time, according to GOP Scorecard.
“Voting against the party on every single issue? You’re eventually going to make too many enemies and that is the problem that Thomas has had,” Vance said. “It’s not one issue, it’s not three or four issues, it’s that every time we’ve needed Thomas for a vote, he has been completely unwilling to provide it. That is why the president of the United States has trained his ire on Thomas Massie. It’s because we can never count on him.”
Massie has earned pushback in his own party recently over legislation he introduced to force the release of more documents related to the case of child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.
The billionaire and former friend of the president’s died of an apparent suicide while awaiting sex trafficking charges in 2019.
Trump split his voters earlier this year when the FBI and Department of Justice released a memo confirming Epstein’s suicide and denying accusations that Epstein sex trafficked for any high-profile associates, despite his victims saying that is what happened.
Massie has maintained his position and even accused his party’s leaders of protecting sex traffickers in a Thursday X post following Vance’s comments about him.
“When leaders of my own party protect sex traffickers, spend our grandkids into oblivion, fund endless wars, lockdown our citizens, bailout corporations, bow to other countries, and hurt small farmers……it’s true that I won’t be their yes man,” he wrote.
Trump recently blasted Massie as a “weak and pathetic RINO,” claiming, “He only votes against the Republican Party.”
