Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) had a microphone snatched right out of his hand Friday night as he spoke at the Oldham County, KY, Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner.
Massie was in the midst of saying, “If you are a congressman, you work not for the Speaker of the House, I work for you!” pointing to the audience, when event emcee and state House Speaker David Osborne (R) decided he’d heard enough.
Osborne grabbed the mic away as someone yelled, “Welcome to the snake pit, baby!”
Massie then walked off “in solidarity” with supporters who left the event because he’d been cut off, according to the Louisville Courier Journal. Massie told the paper that he joined supporters for drinks at Ernesto’s Mexican Cuisine in La Grange. “I said, ‘Well, if they’re going to walk out for me, I’ll walk out and meet with them,'” Massie said.

🚨Oldham County GOP snatches Mic from Thomas Massie. 🚨
Is this how you want your first amendment protected for telling the truth?
Not me!
You don’t treat sitting congressmen like this.
Especially after dragging his wife through the mud.
If you won’t defend your wife, you damn sure won’t defend your nation.
Yes. I was the only man standing and applauding him for speaking the truth.
A room full of weak men.
These races have just begun.
The heat is officially turned up.
We are taking this fight straight to Washington.
“Welcome to the snake pit baby”!
America First! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

And after that short Reconstruction period, the same people were right back in power.
Blacks and poor whites just stayed screwed.
Thank you, COL.
