Trump, who supports the legislation and which has broad bipartisan support, labeled Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) a 'third rate Grandstander' who should be thrown out of the Republican Party by voters.
A Republican lawmaker who said he intends to oppose a massive $2 trillion stimulus to combat the effects of coronavirus has caught the ire of President Donald Trump.
Rep Thomas Massie draws a Ruger LCP handgun from his pocket during a rally in support of the Second Amendment on January 31, 2020, in Frankfort, Kentucky.Trump accused Massie of only seeking"publicity" and was unrelenting in his criticism of someone he considered a"do nothing Kentucky politician." "If getting us into $6 trillion more debt doesn't matter, then why are we not getting $350 trillion more in debt so that we can give a check of $1 million to every person in the country?" Massie wrote."2 trillion divided by 150 million workers is about $13,333.00 per person. That's much more than the $1,200 per person check authorized by this bill."
Rep. Peter King , whose state has become the country's epicenter for the pandemic, characterized Massie's intentions as"disgraceful" and"irresponsible" for forcing hundreds of colleagues to expose themselves to"risk of infection."
