The 9-majority and 4-minority committee voted 7-6 to advance the bill with Reps. Chip Roy and Ralph Norman voted against the measure. “House Rules Cmte approves rule to govern floor debate on debt ceiling bill tomorrow. The vote was 7-6. Roy and Norman defected Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) votes yes on the rule. Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Ralph Norman (R-SC) were nays,” Fox News Congress reporter Chad Pergram reported. See below:



Here he explains why he is for it.

He won’t vote on the floor for it.

He doesn’t believe a committee should kill bills.

Duh. Anyone who does anything not totally 100% in alignment with the amorphous Internet MAGA narrative is the enemy.

Look!

It is tag team horse shite.

Pointing out a fact does not = he is an enemy now.

Massie is a bigtime Ron supporter. I think that's the point of this thread

Are we going to have 435 threads as each Representative announces their position?

Or are you pretending that you don't understand the implication of the thread, given its author?

I don't think I really heard him correctly. He thinks Schumer and Turtle will negotiate and then pass a CLEAN bill???

So this is tantamount to the parliamentary procedure in the sensate to vote for cloture but vote against the bill.

Vote to advance the bill to a vote on the floor but vote against the bill on the floor.

It is. tCult thinks they can hang everything a Desantis supporter does around Ron’s neck while ignoring the lunacy Trump’s crew does.

I understand his point. They could come back with a worse bill that gets some left Dems to vote for it and then it passes.

I don't think I agree even though I love Massie but I get his point.
