And now a word from John Kerry to Thomas Massie...........#Masshole........

Amid coronavirus stimulus push, Kentucky Republican manages to anger everyone from Donald Trump to John Kerry — here’s how

Rep. Thomas Massie accused of endangering fellow lawmakers

John Kerry, the former secretary of state and longtime Senate Democrat, quipped Friday that he “finally” agreed on something with President Donald Trump — that Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky was way out of line.

“Congressman Massie has tested positive for being an asshole,” tweeted Kerry, his party’s presidential nominee in 2004 and the owner of numerous Vietnam combat medals. “He’s given new meaning to the term #Masshole. (Finally, something the president and I can agree on!)”

Massie, who, in addition to his surname’s overlap, might qualify for that unflattering nickname for people from Massachusetts by virtue of having attended MIT, drew flak from across the political spectrum after saying he would call for a roll-call vote in the House for a $2 trillion stimulus package, potentially delaying passage of the measure.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been counting on a relatively quick voice vote with “strong bipartisan” support, but Massie tweeted Friday that he planned to force House members to “vote on it by pushing ‘yes’ or ‘no’ or ‘present,’” as opposed to a voice vote or the unanimous consent that Pelosi aimed for earlier this week.

All the more powerful (and funny) because Senator/Secretary Kerry is such a dignified gentleman.
