They'll never answer that question.
He has to bend the knee and align/vote with everything the modern day GOP is doing or he's "aligning with democrats". Just throw out his beliefs that he campaigned on and promised his voters and fall in line when he gets into Washington.
It really is insane that they cannot answer. It's a simple question.
He answered. Sorry you don't like the answer.
He has voted numerous times AND sponsored legislation with the far left Democrats.
But, if that makes him super conservative to you, so be it...
He did not answer. He tried to conflate "if Massie is a conservative" with "did Massie vote lockstep with the GOP" which is not a conservative party. Cheap trick and does not work
Voting and enabling liberal democrats is not conservative no matter how many times you try to hand wave it away.
It is an unforgivable sin.
these reasons aren't conservative and is an unforgivable sin according to you?

Quote:
Claim 1: Massie "opposed the SAVE Act," requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
Absurd Massie has repeatedly supported the SAVE Act, He voted YES on the SAVE Act itself on the floor multiple times, and has publicly stated his support for voter ID/proof of citizenship to vote, and urged the Senate to pass the bill.
He voted NO on a single procedural rule that bundled the bill with a provision suspending the normal 24-hour notice rules for ALL spending bills and other measures.
Quote:
Claim 2: Massie "supported transgenders in women's bathrooms."
Utterly preposterous. Massie has NEVER supported any bill to allowing biological males in women's bathrooms in schools, prisons, or federal buildings.
Quote:
Claim 3: Massie voted against funding the Department of Homeland Security.
Another smear that collapses under the briefest scrutiny.
The DHS appropriations bill included funding for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) the Democrats' censorship machine, used by the Biden administration to suppress truthful information about COVID, and Hunter Biden's laptop, among other things.
THAT was what Massie objected to as he has publicly explained multiple times.
Maybe he should have accepted government spying and censoring of Americans in exchange for the rest of the DHS bill. (Another idea: Maybe Republicans should have stripped CISA funding from the bill.) But it's absurd to claim Massie "hates border security," because he doesn't want the government censoring speech.
Quote:
Claim 4: Massie's push to release the Epstein files proves he's "anti-Trump."
If so, then Trump is "anti-Trump," since he signed Massie's bill. The bill was also supported every member of Congress but one.
Quote:
Claim 5: He hates Israel! (Also Ukraine, Taiwan, and other countries we're lavishing with U.S. foreign aid.)
Massie votes against all foreign aid. It has nothing to do with hating other countries. Sixty-two percent of Republicans agree with him.
Maybe that's why AIPAC's super PAC, "United Democracy Project," has to use shell companies to hide its massive spending against Massie as reported by Politico. UDP spokesman Patrick Dorton calls Massie, "the most anti-Israel Republican in the House."
I don't really give a **** what his reasons were. That's inconsequential. His job is to be a reliable Republican vote on major legislation. He wasn't. He's gone.
OK then you cannot adequately explain how Massie is not conservative. Since you can't, you have shifted to "Massie did not vote lock step with the GOP". (The GOP is not a conservative party)
That isn't not the premise.
Because I don't particularly give a **** if he's your version of conservative, or any version of conservative.
I care that he's Republican and votes Republican. And so do other republicans which is why he ****ing lost.
