Massie made himself the heel in the recent BBB negotiations, openly complaining about border security funding. I don't like this either, but it almost feels like active self-sabotage on his part.
Even if Massie hated the bill, there is no way this Senate has any intention of passing it. He could've just said "Yeah, I support this bill and support closing the border" and let the slag from Alaska be the no vote instead, but instead his (very good) anti-AIPAC stance is now associated with open borders in the minds of the people watching him. I just can't see how any sane person makes a mistake like that.
