It’s payback for when Trump threw Massie under the bus for being the only one to call out the insanity of the CARES
Act where unemployed people that were making $18k per year were suddenly making $52K annualized on unemployment. Where couples that hadn’t lost their jobs making up to $150K were given “stimulus” checks.

Dont you need to have leverage, some kind of influence, to achieve “payback”?

Trump threw Massie under the bus on the CARES vote because Massie was the only one holding up the vote. His opposition was totally futile.

This pretty much sums up Massie’s entire career in Congress. I love the guy for his politics, but it’s pointless when he’s one of no more than a half-dozen opponents of a bill that ends up passing by a margin of 400+ votes.

The guy ought to be a governor … so he can be more effective than if he’s just one of several hundred legislators.

I stood with Massie back then when Trump nastily attacked him. It was uncalled for and Massie was proven right.

I don't assume that it was payback, but if it was, that would be inappropriate reason.

Between Massie and Trump, I’ll take Trump.

That undoubtedly has something to do with it. Trump has a bad habit of attackign people like Massie and DeSantis who are on his side most of the time.
