Politics Thomas Massie’s Revenge The Kentucky congressman opposed the very policies that doomed Republicans in the midterms. Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images “The reason we lost is the war,” Vice President J.D. Vance admitted Wednesday on X, explaining the Republicans’ disastrous midterm election loss the day before.
He listed the top four things the GOP could do, according to a pollster with whom he spoke, to win back voters who had defected to the Democrats. These were: 1) End the war 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation 3) Put America First 4) Change our relationship to Israel Rep.
Thomas Massie (R-KY) replied to Vance’s post, “Thanks for acknowledging these things. Better late than never.” Massie included an image of a red, MAGA-style hat. Instead of “Make America Great Again,” it said “Massie Was Right About Everything.” “I’ll send you the hat,” he added.
Massie had a point.
