Massie slams 2024 hopeful as ‘Cheney-like brunette

Thomas Massie Blasts 2024 Presidential Hopeful⁤ as a ⁢’Brunette Liz Cheney’

There ​is nothing so rooted in American ​politics as good old-fashioned ⁢name-calling, as Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky have‌ demonstrated in recent days.

Nikki Haley is a brunette Liz Cheney. She hates free speech as much as she loves war and foreign aid.

Massie’s comment ‍was a riposte to one from Haley ⁤on Sunday that was a twofer aimed at Massie and Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Haley denounced Republican presidential rival⁣ DeSantis in Iowa Sunday for campaigning in the state with Massie, the lone House Republican who voted last week against a GOP resolution condemning anti-Semitism on university campuses.

“You can’t be pro-Israel and bring the most anti-Israel⁣ Republican into this state, who voted against fighting antisemitism on college campuses,” Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador said in Des Moines on Sunday.

Massie last week was‌ the only Republican member of the‌ House⁢ to oppose a ⁤resolution that condemned the testimony of three college presidents whose comments have been widely interpreted as displaying an indifferent attitude‌ toward the⁤ rise of anti-Semitism on college ‌campuses as well ⁣as the⁣ rise of ⁢anti-Semitism itself.

“And‌ that’s who he brought⁣ to your state,” she said in reference to DeSantis campaigning along ⁢with Massie.

The DeSantis campaign had a less inflammatory response than did Massie.

“Ron DeSantis has been the clearest, most consistent pro-Israel candidate in​ the race. He has unequivocally supported Israel in⁢ exterminating Hamas,” campaign press secretary Bryan Griffin said.

Haley, however,⁣ did not let the matter drop. ⁤During a Monday campaign stop she called Massie “the‍ most anti-Israel Republican there is.”

She said Massie “voted with the squad against ​calling out antisemitism on college ‍campuses; voted with the Squad against hitting the presidents ⁢that were allowing it to happen … That’s who he brought to Iowa, so let [DeSantis] ⁣ answer for that.”

Massie’s side was unwilling to stop either. Marjorie ‌Taylor Greene posted her volley in support of Massie on⁤ X while another user called Massie’s comment a “prefect description of Haley.”

Perfect description of Haley.

Indeed. ​Nikki ‌Haley is Bush – Obama- Biden, true uniparty and globalist.

“Indeed. Nikki Haley is Bush – Obama – Biden, true uniparty and globalist,” Greene said.

With the Iowa caucuses coming up on Jan. 15, DeSantis and Haley are polling second and third respectively behind Trump. According to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, Trump has 52 percent support followed by DeSantis at 20 percent and Haley at 15.8 percent.

How does Massie’s comparison of Haley ⁣to Liz Cheney relate ⁣to other forms of discrimination?

F other forms of discrimination.

In response to Haley’s criticism, Massie took‍ to Twitter to unleash his own ⁢attack. By comparing​ Haley to Liz Cheney, he accused her ‍of being a⁤ brunette version of the Republican‍ Congresswoman from Wyoming who is known for her hawkish stance on foreign policy. Massie further claimed that Haley despises free speech ​and supports war and foreign aid.

While name-calling and personal attacks ⁤are ⁢not uncommon in the world ⁤of politics, this⁢ recent⁢ exchange highlights the intense competition and animosity within the Republican Party as potential candidates jockey for position ahead of the ‌2024 presidential⁣ election. Haley and DeSantis, both seen as rising⁣ stars in‍ the party, are facing scrutiny from their own colleagues as‍ they try to establish⁢ their credentials and⁤ build support ‌among conservative voters.

Haley’s criticism of DeSantis for campaigning with Massie stems from his controversial vote against the GOP resolution condemning⁢ anti-Semitism on college ⁣campuses. This resolution was introduced in response to the testimony⁢ of three college ‍presidents‍ who were seen ‌as indifferent towards ⁢the growing⁣ problem ‌of anti-Semitism. Massie’s ‍decision‍ to oppose the resolution raises questions about his stance on this ⁣important issue and his commitment to ​fighting discrimination on university campuses.

The exchange between Haley ‌and Massie is an example of the ongoing ⁢debates within the Republican Party regarding its principles and priorities. While Haley​ emphasizes ‍the need for a pro-Israel approach ⁤and condemning anti-Semitism, Massie appears to prioritize libertarian ideals​ such as free speech and limited government intervention. These differing viewpoints reflect the broader divisions within ⁤the party, with some Republicans leaning towards a more interventionist foreign ​policy ⁢and others advocating for⁢ a more isolationist stance.

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, it is likely that we will ‌see more ‍of these⁢ clashes between ‌potential candidates as they seek‌ to distinguish themselves and appeal to different⁣ factions within the party. ‍The⁤ competition for the Republican nomination ⁣is expected to be fierce, with each candidate trying to position themselves​ as the true conservative champion. However, it ⁣is important to note that while the battle for ​the nomination is intense, it is crucial for Republicans⁢ to remain united and​ focused ​on ⁣their ultimate goal of ‍winning‌ the presidency⁤ and‌ advancing their policy⁢ agenda.

In the end, the name-calling and personal attacks may grab headlines, but it is the candidates’ positions on important issues and their ability to inspire voters that will ​ultimately determine their success. As the race for the 2024 presidential nomination unfolds, it will be fascinating ⁣to see how these rivalries‌ play out‍ and which candidates emerge as the frontrunners.
