Trump rips Kentucky Republican Massie over coronavirus-bill objections
President Donald Trump on Friday criticized a Kentucky Republican congressman who might slow down a House vote on a $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package. Trump tweeted that Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky is"a third rate Grandstander" who can't stop the package but only delay it.
The president said that would be dangerous and costly, and he suggested Massie should be thrown out of the Republican Party. Massie has said he objects to the massive package due to how much it adds to the national debt, and he has said he could support it if it were just about helping people get more unemployment benefits.
