If there’s one thing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is resolving to not do is not support Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) in his quest to maintain his speakership.
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) asked Massie if he’d vote for Johnson if Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) would become the chairman of House Rules Committee, per The Hill.
Gaetz is the new host on One America News Network.
“Oh no. You can pull all my fingernails out, you can shove bamboo up in them, you can start cutting off my fingers,” Massie said late Thursday.
“I am not voting for Mike Johnson tomorrow, and you can take that to the bank,” Massie added.
Massie has previously said Johnson is not up to the job as Speaker and is not what the Republican Party needs.
“ want a Speaker who inspires the public and who can make our case in the media, so we can keep the majority for the second half of Trump’s term,” Massie posted on X on New Year’s Eve.
