No, Massie tried to kill the Save Act by voting NO to advance it to the House floor. That vote passed by 1 vote.
He likely knew how the vote would go. If his vote was needed, he would have voted Yes. He's special, so whenever he can flaunt his principles without it meaning anything, his colleagues let him.

Kentucky may secede.

He voted for it when it came as a stand-alone.
What you should be asking is why did they try and sneak a provision that would suspend transparency requirements, namely the 24-hour rule for spending bills.

Very principled.

To be fair, he has consistently voted to send bills to the floor where all members vote/go on record.
And wasn't it a bill to increase the debt-ceiling, not a budget? On the ensuing budget, Massie voted no.

The Save America Act is way too damn important to play games with. I get trying to be principled but saving all that pork won’t mean a damn thing
One can argue that the game playing began with the fricking pork being put in the bill to begin with.
Hell, one would be correct to argue that.

Let me understand your tortured logic: Massie had to vote against the SAVE Act in order to support it.
Do I have this correct?

You don't.
Massie voted against a rule that suspends a house rule and allows spending bills to come to the floor without a 24-hr notice.
Then Massie voted for the SAVE act.

Then why vote against the bill to bring it to a vote? That vote cannot be explained away.

Massie votes NO based on a 24 hour notice technicality, then turns around and notes Yes the same day. So much for principles, did Massie really need the 24 hours or was he just trying to kill The Save Act? Based on Massie Yes vote, he did not.
All of the House GOP voted yes to advance the bill and stop Massie and every Democrats from having it tabled.
Those are just facts.

Because that vote wasn't a clean vote. It included the suspension of the rule I mentioned.
Massie voted for a bill similar to the SAVE act last year. He voted for it this year. Are you arguing he doesn't support the SAVE act?

The suspension of the 24 hour notice wasn't for the SAVE act. It was for spending bills for the rest of this fiscal year. Not a small thing.

What aren't you understanding?
