Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the lone Republican in the House to vote against a resolution that condemned Iran’s attack on Israel.
He joined the likes of Squad members and other far-left Democrats. The resolution overwhelmingly passed in a 404-14 vote Thursday. Iran’s drone and missile attack against Israel was unprecedented. The House of Representatives wanted to send a strong message that condemned the attack and showed support for our ally, Israel.
Massie joined AOC, Jamaal Bowman, and other extreme Democrats.
In addition to Ocasio-Cortez and Bowman, Democrats Cori Bush of Missouri, Greg Casar of Texas, Jonathan Jackson of Illinois, Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Hank Johnson of Georgia, Barbara Lee of California, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Delia Ramirez of Illinois and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan voted against the measure.
It’s his choice to make, whether to work with Republicans or to go to the dark side with a group of Democrats known for having less than admirable records of support for Israel. With tensions so high over the Israel-Hamas war, I wonder if his constituents will find his position offensive. A majority of Americans support Israel and expect the Biden administration to show its support.
