Thomas Massie is, and always will be, a clown. He is not our ally. He is not our friend. [View all]

Ditto for MTG and James O'Keefe (which should be blatantly obvious).

These people are clowns and they don't deserve our respect.

They are not in the process of turning a corner or coming to a new realization about themselves (a la Joe Walsh). They will turn around and bite us the first opportunity they get.

This is not John McCain or Mitt Romney, or Adam Kinzinger, or Liz Cheney. These are not people of principle who we can disagree with on the issues but can trust to do the right thing in the interests of the country.

This isn't even Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski or Bill Cassidy who at least occasionally recognize when something is wrong, even if they lack the courage to ever act on it.

These guys are the bottom of the barrel and there's no use in lauding them for anything.
