Trump Lashes Out At Epstein Revolt Leader Massie In Friday Night Rant

President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) in a Friday night rant as the congressman leads a revolt in the House over the release of files related to deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has refused to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), who would likely be the key 218th “yes” vote on a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Massie is the leader of a group of Republicans who have joined Democrats in that push, and has drawn Trump’s ire.

That might explain why Trump posted a lengthy rant trashing Massie and urging a challenger to unseat him.

I don't see why anybody would go out on a limb for that lying piece of crap. It isn't as if Santos and MTG were such a great team while he was in Congress.

How many other high ranking officers in the military thought pardoning the rioters crossed a moral line?
