Thomas Massie, a U.S. Congressman representing Kentucky’s 4th district since 2012, recently took to social media to express his views on several controversial topics. Massie, who has been vocal about his opinions throughout his political career, shared three distinct posts that touch upon presidential pardons, gun laws, and the selection of officials for government positions.
On December 2nd, Massie suggested that President Biden should consider granting clemency to Julian Assange. He referenced a bipartisan letter sent to the President in November as part of this call for action. “The pardon President Biden should make: Julian Assange. Here’s the bipartisan letter we sent to @JoeBiden in November.”
Later that day, Massie addressed the issue of gun law enforcement concerning Hunter Biden. He argued that if the current administration believes a specific gun law should not apply to Hunter Biden, then it should extend the same leniency to all individuals prosecuted under similar circumstances. “Since Joe Biden thinks a particular gun law shouldn’t be enforced for his son Hunter Biden, he should pardon everyone who’s been prosecuted under that same provision.”
On December 3rd, Massie commented on an incident involving a sheriff who ordered the arrest of a pastor during COVID-19 restrictions. This sheriff was considered by former President Trump for leading the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Massie expressed relief over the sheriff’s withdrawal from consideration and urged him to adhere to constitutional principles in future decisions. “This sheriff ordered the arrest of a pastor for holding services during the COVID panic. He was tapped by Trump to head the DEA. Glad to see him withdraw from consideration. Next time politicians lose their ever-lovin minds, he can redeem himself by following the Constitution.”
