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 partys presidential nominee in 2004 and the owner of numerous Vietnam combat medals. Hes given new meaning to the term #Masshole. (Finally, something the president and I can agree on!)
Massie, who, in addition to his surnames 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.
