The Israel lobby bought his seat. Did you have an AIPAC handler?

Massie should run as an independent in that district and the Dems should support him to block this Galrein character.

The January 6th stuff was huge though. If your only limit is the sexual abuse of children? I have issues with the deplorables voting for this. There is nothing much Massie was to the left of Trump on, so this is really a “protect pedophiles “ vote.

The GOP must be demolished. They are domestic terrorists waging war against the American people.

I don't except Jan. 6. It's a big deal with me. Any excuse of any kind earns my contempt. His truth has been malevolent for years. His stand on Epstein is the bare minimum I expect from everyone and not redemptive for a lifetime of right wing demagoguery.

I respect his position on the release of Epstein files. His words and actions show honor and integrity on this one single issue. Everything else, I disagree or actively rally against. There is a potential he may gain more of my support if he goes scorched earth and names all the abusers publicly.

He should run as an independent.

Start a 3rd party, The Conservatives. Get those MAGA asshats out of there!

The word except is doing a lot of work there - and it’s hiding his not so subtle anti semitism - marshal petain may have fought the Germans once but he still is a traitor - Espstein effort doesn’t exculpate him for everything that happened on J6 and since and now he paid the price for his sedition

The GOP of H.W. Bush is dead.

Adam. Why don’t you & Massie join the Democrats???

Guardians Of Pedophiles.

That’s a pretty big “except”. If you swim with sharks

Not a fan of his politics, but integrity counts for something.

GOP: trump Sycophant Party TSP Not to be confused with TDS trump Dick Suckers

Apparently Kentucky law doesn't allow him to now run as an Independent. The best he can do is try a write-in campaign.

I just want people that don’t protect pedophiles. But republicans can’t even do that any more

Ask Mitt Romney. A sane, sober, educated business man that was governor of a big new England state. The Republicans hate everything he is now. Fucking grim.

Sorry hes an as&hole. He was ok with Jan 6…. To some of us that is/was an act of treason

You “respected” him. There’s no such thing as “his truth”. It’s TRUTH not “ Your truth, his truth, they’re truth “. Jfc

...and I always thought "moderate" Republicans were called "Libertarians".

The good in both of you is that you did try to right some wrongs. That you both ignored so many other wrongs before you took a stand is what you will be remembered for.

The GOP is dying 🔥🤬

Where do you disagree on Jan 6? I thought he didn't object to the electoral votes. I know he didn't vote to impeach.

his family christmas photo of guns made me shudder my trust in people is gone

He did help women who were raped and tortured by these monsters as CHILDREN though.

The GOP is dead. It is the TP.

Massie consistently spouted MAGA rhetoric and voted with the GOP. His work with the bipartisan push to release the full, unredacted Epstein files was one of the few things he did right.

Nope. #GuardiansOfPedophiles

There doesn’t seem to be a GOP anymore-it’s the Trump Party

There is no GOP.

I hear what you are saying, and Massie did show rare courage on several issues, but “except” is doing a helluva lot of heavy lifting here.

Trump is a child rapist, and he has molded the whole GOP into his image: Guardians Of Pedophiles. He’s never been “America First.” It’s just something he says to distract from his grift, his greed, his pedophilia, and his many other heinous crimes.

When are Dems going to MESSAGE?!?! The GOP is ONLY about Trump. The GOP only cares about Trump. Line his pockets w/ Billions whiles everybody else suffers. That's the Trump agenda. Nothing else. And can Dems please make a solid stance for good immigration policy. Independents want to hear that!

"Except for the Jan.6 stuff" = "but otherwise how was the evening, Mrs. Lincoln?"

Are you fucking kidding? Massie is a horrific man. The bar is just so low. heritageaction.com/scorecard/me...

He should run as an independent and mess up the Republican field in the November election.

Who dare argue against the emperor?

Except for the J6 stuff Fuck Massie

MAGA 2016-2024: “We’re gonna release the Epstein Files!” MAGA 2025-2026:

Well he can go scorched earth until January. So he needs to read the names in the files.

“except the Jan 6 stuff”… Ya know, the only time in the history of the country when there wasn’t a peaceful transfer of power after an election. So he drew the line at raping and sex trafficking children. What a hero.

"Except the January 6th stuff" is a pretty big exception...especially for you 🤣

The real winner in Massie’s loss:

Why doesn’t he run as independent or write-in?

The polls going into it showed a close race (similar to the 2024 pre-presidential election polls, it seems crazy that it wouldn't have predicted a landslide against Trump). But, nonetheless, we need to be practicing/perfecting the procedures NOW to detect cheating and react quickly.

They do eat their own. He was an extremist and at the same time smarter than most in the gop. Can you imagine what must be in those files. It has to be worse than bad. …and the J6 stuff.. please dude, get a grip.

I read your entire substack newsletter on this. Neither Massie or Cassidy showed the necessary backbone when it mattered. “Faced with a 2026 primary, Bill chose survival.” Since you know these men and admittedly I don’t know the mechanics of doing so, would either consider an independent run?

The GOP died.

Someone better We need to know who got off with Epstein.

That caveat coming through like the Kool-Aid man.

Sad evidence that you can't win a GOP primary Republican controlled states without being full blown MAGA. This just means more divisiveness and corruption wins for Trump.

the republican party as we knew it has been dead for awhile. i truly think you should start a conservative moderate party. i will never vote for it but i miss having an opposing party that disagrees on policy and not morality

What is the bottom for Republicans? Not good.

Not moderate

Hopefully Mr Massie (and Mssrs Cassidy and Cornyn) goes on his own vengeance tour and spends the next 6months going along with Democrats on absolutely everything. Because this is what could actually happen when the GOP has a president who doesn’t think worth a shit.

"except the January 6 stuff"???? Oh. Adam...Bless your heart.

He was maga… they create their own truth

That's a pretty big exception

Trump still clearly runs the Republican party but many outside of his base have left Trump for good.

Be aware of this right wing Pac 👉 that went after Massie 👉 pro-Israel interest group, Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund 👈 personally Israel / Netanyahu is the problem. Thousands of Jewish folks are tired of the violence and don't support Netanyahu same as many Americans are with Trump 🤮

Another way of looking at it is that 45% of republicans in a ruby red district rejected Trump

When I see him I think of when John Kerry testified in front of his committee re climate change. He somehow asked Kerry if he thought his bachelors of science meant he was some great authority. It was so weird. And then he took on fighting for release of the Philes and I didn’t know what to think.

Massie doesn’t like pedophiles. Wonder why Trump opposed him?

He's more maga than maga. I'd like to think that Kentucky will choose the Democrat over his opponent in November, but I'd expect to be disappointed.

They primaried Massie because he was against the world's worst child sex traffickers - victimizing over 1000 little girls they were fine with everything else

SHOUT OUT TO MIKE PENCE! TRUMP WANTS TO PAY THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO HANG YOU!!

Why are GOP supporters so loyal to Trump? I know this economy hurts them too!

I can respect people who stay mostly consistent to their views. That's a trait that's disappearing from Congress.

What to do?

"Except for the Jan 6 stuff (i.e., treason), I always respected him." Awesome.

Yeah, he doesn’t get a pass for “January 6 stuff” for wanting the Epstein files released That’s what they’re supposed to do

MAGA still falling for the lies of the pedo grifter. Fake hair fake tan religious truth teller. Please. Please you can’t be serious. But we have low IQ’s? WTF? #bluewave, #magasucks

that’s a big exception. Dude isn’t worthy of respect. No one who justifies or ignores 1/6 and lies about election fraud/ falsely claims 2020election was stolen is!

Denies climate change but believes trump is religious. Low IQ!

There is no GOP anymore. It’s all MAGA, independent, and dems.

I hope Massie is a sharper thorn in Trump's side during the remainder of his term.

Big exception, January 6 is.

He disobeyed the "American Hitler." The fact that you cannot call the Republican Party "American Nazism" tells me where you still stand.

What can be done about the Redhat Pig owning Republicans now? There are so many people who just believe in "the Party" and it's obvious they'll vote for the devil himself! Are there any "real" Republicans left? Jimmy Buffett sang that "moderation is the key." I'd love to see us go back to moderate.

Can we sue trump for mental anguish? 1 giant class action lawsuit! I want my piece of $1.8B Seriously... even filing the lawsuit (for $10B) would be a positive thing

Yeah, that’s a big flaw.

Thanks for the info

And he went after Trump hard even after they threatened him, even as they were primarying him I’ll give him that much

There’s no way he legitimately lost. This is so crooked. Trump didn’t win. This is the full take over of our country. And fuck you too, Palantir. Bunch of demented fucks.

"except the Jan 6 stuff" JFC

Massie is incredibly conservative. I am most definitely not a conservative but I really liked massie's principles stance on Epstein, no new wars, economic position. I'm sad to see him go. But glad he's going to take joy in these last seven months. Go get Thomas!

“He stuck to HIS truth.” Massie is just as much of a fascist dickbag. Just because he pretended to have a spine with the Epstein files doesn’t change a thing. He still maintains Trump is innocent in the files

"His" truth, what's that? There is only The truth.

Except for the insurrection stuff is a take.

I'm saddened. I was a Republican until 2016, but there's nothing redeemable in the party as it exists today. I am politically homeless.

youtu.be/sfjon-ZTqzU

He helped create the monster and so he gets eaten by the monster!

pretty sure he works for russia

Good, now Massie, Cornyn, and Tillis can add on to stop war in Iran and start corruption hearings on President.

the remaining GOP should be swept into the failed dust bin of history

My favorite part is Massie's glee at the possibilities of those seven months. He didn't seem too bothered by the results.
