Massie fires back at Vance VP ‘excitement’ question: ‘Ask Mike Pence’

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) fired back at a Tuesday post from Vice President Vance questioning if his successors saw as much “excitement” as him while in office. 

“Ask Mike Pence about his last month,” the Kentucky lawmaker wrote.

Massie’s reply appeared to reference Pence’s refusal to nullify the 2020 presidential election on Jan. 6, 2021, and comes amid his conflict with President Trump. 

The president has exerted a concerted effort to vote Massie out of office alleging he’s “bad for the Constitution” after he voted against key GOP initiatives and railed against the leader’s “big, beautiful bill.”

A Trump-aligned PAC recently formed to help unseat Massie ahead of the mid-term election cycle. 

Despite naysayers, the Kentuckian has leaned into the backlash and used its publicity to boost fundraising for his campaign. 

He also co-sponsored a bipartisan bill to end U.S. involvement in strikes between Israel and Iran, warranting continued rebukes from Trump.  

“MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague! The good news is that we will have a wonderful American Patriot running against him in the Republican Primary, and I’ll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard,” Trump wrote in a Sunday Truth Social post. 

“MAGA is not about lazy, grandstanding, nonproductive politicians, of which Thomas Massie is definitely one.”

The next day, Massie hit back making a joke out of the president’s repeated posts about him. 

“I’m going to program my debt badge to display the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since @realDonaldTrump has tweeted at me last,” Massie wrote.
