Massie’s Bold Stance Sparks New Political Tensions
Clear Facts
- Thomas Massie has extended his verbal clash to include Vice President JD Vance.
- Massie criticized the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites as unconstitutional.
- Donald Trump has publicly criticized Massie, stating he is “not MAGA.”
In a recent development, Republican Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie has broadened his ongoing verbal confrontation to include Vice President JD Vance. This follows Massie’s earlier disputes with former President Donald Trump over differing views on U.S. military actions.
Massie’s latest comments came in response to a tweet from Vance, who expressed excitement about his role as Vice President. Massie replied with a pointed remark, “Ask Mike Pence about his last month,” referencing the tense period Pence faced during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
This exchange marks an extension of Massie’s critique of the current administration, following his disagreement with Trump over the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Massie has been vocal about his belief that the decision was unconstitutional, reiterating his stance through social media.
“This is not Constitutional,” Massie stated, emphasizing his call for Congress to assert its authority. He has been actively promoting a War Powers Resolution he introduced, which aims to prevent unauthorized military actions in Iran. Massie has urged lawmakers to support this resolution, highlighting the need for congressional approval in matters of war.
In response to Massie’s criticisms, Trump delivered a sharp rebuke. He accused Massie of not aligning with the “MAGA” movement and criticized him as a “simple minded ‘grandstander.'” Trump further stated his intention to support Massie’s opponent in the upcoming Republican primary, expressing his disapproval of Massie’s stance on Iran.
“Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him,” Trump wrote. He went on to accuse Massie of supporting policies that could lead to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons while simultaneously opposing the U.S. military actions intended to prevent such developments.
As Massie continues to challenge both the administration and his own party’s leadership, the political landscape remains fraught with tension and differing opinions on the appropriate course of action regarding U.S. foreign policy and military engagement.

A bold position, indeed! Not merely for upholding the Constitution and disagreeing with Trump, but doing so knowing that Trump has only one move: revenge. And sure enough, Trump immediately began a childish, insulting assault on Congressman Massie, and appealed to his MAHA worshippers to punish Massie. Trump even claimed that Massie is “not MAGA” even though non-interventionism abroad is supposed to be a key plank of MAGA, America First platform.

He, like the DemocRATS conveniently forget that Obama, Bush, Clinton etc all took military action without Congressional authorization! Trump is Absolutely authorized and fully within his executive authority!

Looking at Chinese Chinese have been connected to Russia, Iran and North Korea. Who allowed RiteAid stores on military bases in the USA? The Chinese Communism have prescription drugs plants in Russia, Iran and North Korea. They supply RiteAid pharmacy and 770 million Military personnel information lost to hackers. Glad Trump is stopping nuclear weapons that can destroy our country and Soros, Obama, Biden, Harris, Pelosi responsible for Chinese Communism owning our farms, processing and packing plants, prescription drugs plants. Time to kick foreign countries out of our country, bring our jobs home. Prayers

Get that Nazi out of congress! He proves that all the Nazis are not in the National Socialist Party. Libertarians are prone to Nazism, from L. Ron Hubbard to Ron Paul to this filth. Nazism is just as unAmerican on the right as it is on the left. Go President Trump, and go to hell Mark!
