Thomas Massie [View all]
Just to be clear, the enemy of my enemy is a temporary tactical non-enemy but...
He could resign.
He could switch parties. If he, in fact, fully believed his party was complicit in pedophilia and a coverup, it is a reasonable to seek a new coalition.
He could leave the GOP caucus without switching parties.
He is doing none of these things, and is instead being an ineffectual gadfly to his leadership. Somewhat like former Rep. Paul from Texas.
In practice, he has done less for the opposition cause than has MTG, the monster of Georgia.
That he remains a member of Speaker Johnson's majority in the House tells me that his posture on his party is not motivated by a desire to actually implement change. Fame, perhaps. Establishing a "maverick" streak?
He isn't a good guy. He just happens to be not actively wrong on this.
