MOREFIELD: DGAF Massie Is The Best Massie

Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie’s GOP primary defeat to someone called “Ed Gallrein” last month seems to have awakened a sleeping giant. Of course, the label ‘sleeping giant’ isn’t being quite fair considering the MIT grad with an off-the-grid home he built himself has been by far the bravest member of Congress for more than a decade, consistently bringing issues to light that ‘respectable’ run of the mill bought and paid for congresscritters would never dare mention lest their money dry up or their blackmailers activate whatever leverage is being used to control them.

No, Massie has been an awake ‘giant’ for his entire tenure, happily and bravely knocking down shibboleths worshipped by idolaters of every political stripe, and that fact actually used to be largely appreciated in both libertarian and right-wing circles. That is, until President Donald J. Trump decided otherwise.

Sure, the libertarian leaning Massie had tangled with Trump plenty of times going back even to his first term, usually on budgetary issues where the Kentucky congressman chose to stand on principle rather than political expediency. But he was never seriously targeted for political destruction by the president until he refused to tow the line on a few key Uniparty issues: Epstein transparency, war with Iran, and U.S. support for Israel.

Granted, the Israel lobby along with Christian Zionism’s cultlike hold on the imaginations of most........
