Republicans Treat Thomas Massie Like Voting Invisible Man on Capitol Votes
KEY POINTS
- •Rep. Thomas Massie said he has no incentive to vote with GOP and that Mike Johnson doesn’t support him.
- •Massie was one of only three Republicans to oppose ending the challenge blockade on Trump's tariffs and clashed with AG Pam Bondi at a committee hearing.
- •Trump’s political team is aggressively trying to unseat Massie, who still raised $500,000 online in January despite the intra-party warfare.
Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, aka the GOP’s professional party-line escape artist, just hit his routine of 'no' votes so hard that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) stopped even trying to get his support—because why bother when your majority can only afford one defector and the guy is a guaranteed ‘no’? Massie openly questioned his incentive to vote 'yes,' told Axios Johnson has zero loyalty, and just last week stood uniquely alone against the SAVE America Act’s rules while sparking fights with the likes of ex-Florida AG Pam Bondi (who called him a 'failed politician' with Jim Jordan sitting that drama out). Trump slammed him with his usual label 'moron' on Truth Social while plotting to boot him out—a first GOP intra-party primary bloodsport. Meanwhile, Massie cynically noted he’d probably struggle to raise money without Trump’s digital bullying but still raked in half a million online during January, torturing GOP wound-lickers. The irony? The guy helped mainstream the Epstein files, pushing his own strain of 'fiscal conservative, anti-war, conspiracy fan club' Republicans, warning the party might shrink their slim majority if they expel him. Johnson claims he backs all GOP reps except, clearly, the one whose votes make him lose. It's the political version of a group chat where only one member texts, snaps back, and gets ghosted—except it's $500,000 sad clout, poker-faced insults, and judicial committee roasts.

Thomas Massie has become the political equivalent of the Wi-Fi that never connects yet somehow charges $0.5M for the privilege. Meanwhile, GOP leadership keeps swiping left on his votes and ignoring his existence—and calling him a moron full-time.
Massie’s voting record is like a Netflix show nobody subscribes to, but Trump can’t stop tweeting about the cringe episodes.
GOP leadership treating Massie like a spam email they delete but somehow it still pops back demanding cash.
