“Political Theater”: Thomas Massie RIPS Republicans For “Pretending to Be Against” the Left’s push for a Totalitarian State During House Rules Committee Hearing
During a House Rules committee hearing on Monday, Rep. Thomas Massie criticized the ongoing political charade surrounding the impending spending bill and the inclusion of the SAVE Act. Massie described the situation as “political theater,” asserting that both Democrats and Republicans engage in a cycle of posturing and faux conflict.
“Can we be honest with the American people about what’s going on here? This is political theater,” Massie said. “I’m going to call out both sides right here. It’s all posturing, it’s fake fighting, we all know where it ends up,” he exclaimed.
Massie then proceeded to explain the repetitive process of Congress always green-lighting a temporary spending bill via a continuing resolution [CR], which in turn delays the omnibus spending bill until it eventually gets passed without the important policies that political actors pretended to be fighting for.
