Here Is Why Thomas Massie’s Loss Doesn’t Matter at All
Derek Hunter
I know, a lot of people are very excited about the primary defeat of U.S. Republican Thomas Massie (KY-4). I’m just not one of them. Not because I liked him, I honestly couldn’t care less about any politician and found him particularly annoying on quite a few issues, but because his defeat won’t make a single bit of difference in the grand scheme of things. No individual politician, especially in Congress, will. They are all temporary and don’t deserve your loyalty, ideas and ideals do.
Massie was a reliable vote on most things for Republicans, but he started to get high on his own supply – seduced by the media coverage of his obsession with Jeffrey Epstein and the idea that there is a network of pervert monsters out there somewhere that he could help put away. Well, along with his liberal buddy U.S. Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17), he got the “Epstein files” released and they exposed…exactly nothing.
Think about it, those files were Al Capone’s Vault of the political world. But unlike the vault debacle, the files were simply ignored and/or used in ways they did not back up because, well, they could be. The vault was empty on live TV. The files are long and boring, so no normal person is going to read them for themselves.
This frees up anyone, especially the unscrupulous, to characterize what’s in it in any way they see fit. “Trump is mentioned X number of times!” That means literally nothing. U.S. Democrat Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) is mentioned in them. The difference between him and Trump is that the mentions of Trump are in news stories and Epstein and friends b******g about him because Jeff hated him. The mentions of Hakeem are his staffers desperately trying to get a meeting with him so he can get a campaign donation from him. See the difference?
