Rep. Thomas Massie to Speaker Mike Johnson: “Announce Your Resignation, You’re a Goner”

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said Tuesday he is co-sponsoring a motion by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., urging him to “pre-announce his resignation.”

“You’re not going to be the speaker much longer,” Massie told Johnson in front of a closed-door meeting of the entire Republican conference, Politico and Punchbowl News reported.

According to Punchbowl, Massie told Johnson he “should clean the barn and resign or else he’ll be vacated.” . . .

“I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by @RepMTG. He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker,” Massie posted.

Massie’s public display drew boos and catcalls from the majority of the GOP conference, Politico and Axios reported. Massie is the first House Republican to publicly back Greene’s ouster of Johnson since her letter of discontent was sent to the conference last week.

WATCH: Things Turn Extremely Weird When Massie Corners Wray About the Elusive DNC Pipe Bomb…

A recent interaction between Rep. Massie and the discredited FBI Director Chris Wray has drawn a lot of attention due to Wray’s bizarre behavior when Massie cornered him on the sketchy DNC pipe bomb story. As you’re probably aware by now, the FBI’s DNC pipe bomb narrative doesn’t make sense, and when questioned about the numerous inconsistencies, the feds act extremely strangely and clam up. Consequently, the pipe bomb story piqued our interest early on. Revolver’s own Darren Beattie and his team were responsible for bringing the elusive pipe bomb story into the mainstream conversation through their top-notch investigative reporting. In fact, Thomas Massie sought out Darren for guidance before questioning the FBI whistleblowers on this very topic. . .

So many aspects of this story just don’t “jibe.” So, when Massie confronted Wray about it, the tension in the room was palpable. Here’s what went down between the two men (Columbia Bugle):

FBI Director Christopher Wray Refuses To Answer @RepThomasMassie’s Questions About The January 6th Pipe Bombs, The Bizarre Circumstances Surrounding Their Discovery And The Missing Phone Data That Could Have Helped Identify The Bomber

Rep. Massie and Rep. @Jim_Jordan sent Director Wray a letter a month ago demanding answers about the pipe bomber after testimony by the Former Head of the FBI January Pipe Bomb Investigation Steven D’Antuono revealed that geofencing data that could have helped to identify the January pipe bomber was mysteriously “CORRUPTED”.

Rep. Massie: “We can handle classified information and we fund your department so you need to provide that.”

The Christmas Photo That Caused Liberal America to Fully Meltdown

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has set liberal America aflame with a simple Christmas photo of his family. They all posed with firearms. Does this warrant a special counsel investigation? Does this mean the FBI should raid the home? Nope. It just makes the Left upset because it’s something they find abhorrent. It’s funny. The party that loves to stay out of people’s business, and who make that point when it comes to killing babies, are sure concerned about what happens in the privacy of Congressman Massie’s home. CNN wasted time on this, saying how it was insensitive given the recent shooting in Michigan. Oh, and it doesn’t convey the message of peace on Earth. It was a nauseating lecture that no one wants to hear, especially from the network that keeps a dude who masturbated in front of others on a Zoom call employed. Yet, if you search Thomas Massie on Google, he sure did trigger a meltdown (via WaPo):

Critics disparaged Massie’s post as insensitive and tone deaf at best, and spiteful and irresponsible at worst, while supporters said the photo in itself doesn’t bear any connection to the shooting in Michigan.

“I’m pro second amendment, but this isn’t supporting right to keep and bear arms, this is a gun fetish,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who has frequently broken ranks with his fellow Republicans, wrote on Twitter.

Jewish GOP Group Targets Congress’s Strongest Constitutionalist For Defeat

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) — specifically its political action committee — has had it with Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. And he’s a Republican.

Massie infuriated both his own party and US Democrats last week by exercising a procedural motion that might have delayed the vote on the $2 trillion stimulus in the wake of the economic devastation wrought by the coronavirus pandemic. US President Donald Trump, a Republican, called Massie a “third-rate grandstander.”

Now the RJC said it will be backing Massie’s opponent in the Republican primary, which is scheduled for June 23, coronavirus willing. It’s a rare foray for a group that usually focuses on Democrats, plus partisan Jewish groups rarely get involved in primaries.

“After Rep. Massie recklessly decided to hold up the stimulus bill designed to help Americans who are struggling because of the coronavirus, the RJC PAC has decided to endorse and fund-raise for his GOP primary opponent, Todd McMurtry, and the RJC will be activating its nationwide team of volunteers to contact voters in the 4th congressional district of Kentucky to explain why it is so important to support McMurtry,” the group said in a news release last week.

Massie insisted that Congress adhere to a rule that a majority of House members are present to do business. Most members had returned home in order to avoid contracting or spreading the coronavirus.
