Tucker Carlson is right.
Thomas Massie is one of the most conventionally conservative America First representatives the Congress has had. And the Israel lobby and the GOP decided to make a martyr out of him anyway, by making his election the most expensive House primary in American history.
Accordingly, I think the America First movement must coalesce around
@RepThomasMassie for President in 2028.
And it’s not just because he has the best platform: we all know that if the GOP listened to Thomas Massie instead of Mark Levin, they wouldn't be facing a bloodbath next week. It’s also because of his character: Who else do you trust more not to go back on his word? Who else has a better demonstrated voting record? Who else is more honest?
We have been at war my entire lifetime despite every single president campaigning on non-interventionism. Bush campaigned on a humble foreign policy. Obama campaigned to end the Iraq War. Biden campaigned to end the Afghan war. Trump campaigned on no new wars. At this point, I’m just backing who I can trust.
@TuckerCarlson himself said it. Of all the potential candidates so far—JD, Rubio, or AOC—Thomas Massie is clearly the most principled, and the most trustworthy.
I say we
@DraftMassie for President in 2028!
Tucker Carlson to Thomas Massie:
“I know you call yourself a libertarian or whatever, but conventionally, you’re one of the most conservative, America First candidates the Congress has had in my lifetime.”
That is 100% the correct framing, and I say that as a libertarian. We need an America First libertarian populism because it is, by definition, more popular, and it is also in line with the Old Right American tradition before the neocons co-opted the right.
