After the cold-blooded assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump delivered a powerful, unifying address from the Oval Office.
His message was clear: political violence must end, and the radical Left’s rhetoric has real-world consequences.
But instead of standing with Trump and millions of grieving Americans, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) chose to take a cheap shot at the President.
Massie went as far as to suggest that Trump himself was part of the problem.
Frequently clashing with Trump and the GOP base, Massie brushed off the President’s condemnation of political violence as “amusing” and “over the top.”
He even invoked Trump’s push for accountability on the Epstein files, suggesting the President’s comments there were “ridiculous rhetoric.”
As reported by The Hill:
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said he includes President Trump among those who should tone down their rhetoric in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
“I mean, there is a lot of rhetoric. And the president himself engages in it — he called it a hostile act to co-sponsor the Epstein resolution,” said Massie, who was a leading voice in pushing a motion to force the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “I think that’s ridiculous rhetoric.”
“It’s amusing,” he added. “It doesn’t offend me that he’s over the top with the rhetoric, but some people take it literally, and he should probably tone that down himself.”
