So, it is strange that those on the left are disappointed, which means that Massie was a RINO or worse, a Democrat in disguise. No matter, he is gone. Another win for Trump, the leader of the GOP. All IMO.

“People that want somebody that will go along to get along, I’ve never heard of that strategy, but that seems to be what the voters want,” Massie said. “But not the young voters.”
Yes, the young voters who — as the Times of Israel noted — appreciated the fact that Massie joined the progressive “squad” in refusing to condemn the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks against Israel and became the only House member to vote against a resolution affirming Israel’s right to exist.
I suppose if you’re that young, the Holocaust becomes a far-too-distant memory. (Although not for Massie, who compared the COVID vaccine to Auschwitz prisoner tattoos once upon a time.)
There is an old Arabian proverb, recycled by “Doctor Who,” that goes as follows: “You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies.” Or there is Winston Churchill’s take: “You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
For a great number of people, this is indeed true. Massie himself is trying to push this narrative, saying that he got kicked to the curb because he opposed Donald Trump. In this case, I would say that Massie is a man who can be judged by the quality of his friends, unfortunately — uniformly a collection of lefties, anti-Semites, engagement-farming conspiracy theorists, and Israel-haters."
