I can't talk to all of these, but doesn't he vote against all bills that aren't balanced? Not saying it's the right call, but Massie opposes government spending, and Trump wanted to spend more money for the wall.
Massie voted for a CR that came with a promised cut in spending.
Devin Nunes has done some cringe shit, and is not above criticism. I'd need to know what, why, and when Massie criticized him for.
The Ron DeSantis thing is, in my opinion, his biggest blunder. That was some stupid 'stand on principle' shit, which he's usually good on, but this one missed the mark both in principle (again, my opinion), and just optically. It was stupid, and I won't defend that, other than to say Massie can support whoever he wants, but I think he was wrong with his choice.
Perhaps most importantly, I'm noticing a lot of this sort of thing, and I suspect someone in Trump's circle is putting out anti-Massie attack vectors. The timing is suspicious. Everyone is free to make up their own minds, of course, but I personally find this 'Massie bad, actually' stuff pretty transparent.
Yeah, I don’t think he’s necessarily “deep state compromised” or whatever. I do think he has some bad instincts, puts his ideal outcomes ahead of reality, and is the type of person to potentially sink the ship in a dumb attempt to get his way. See: voting against the border wall because all spending is bad spending.
I’m not all in on Massie bad, but neither am I going to play the “Massie’s a true patriot, and Trump never should have called him out!” game. The outcome I’m hoping for here is that Massie concedes to follow a bit more of Trump’s agrnda, and Trump starts being friendly with him in return.
Also, posts like the picture in OP just feel like ballwashing. Every politician can put some fiery slogan on their door. It’s about half a step up from a bumper sticker on their car, and is pretty much the lowest bar I can imagine for political action. But because Massie did it, he’s such a brave firebrand.
