Trump vs. Massie
A few days after the January 30 release, Trump called Massie a “moron” while speaking at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast. The insult was part of a diatribe during which the president complained that Massie “never” voted with Republicans. The claim, while false, was rooted in a few kernels of truth. As Massie has repeatedly said, “I vote with Republican leadership 91 percent of the time. Nine percent of the time they’re protecting pedophiles, prioritizing corporations over farmers, spending us into oblivion, or starting another war.” On the other hand, Massie consistently votes in accordance with the Constitution. His lifetime score on this magazine’s Freedom Index is an impressive 99 percent.
Massie began bucking party consensus before Trump even took office in January. Just days into 2025, he cast the sole Republican vote against Representative Mike Johnson (R-La.) for speaker of the House, against Trump’s wishes. A couple of months later, in March, Massie was the only Republican who voted against the House Continuing Resolution budget measure on the grounds that it perpetuated wasteful spending, a point he makes often. And then a couple of months after that, he voted against Trump’s signature legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — twice — on the basis that it was too big. Of course, Democrats voted against it because they considered it too small.
That should be what all of them score.
