Thomas Massie says Commerce Secretary Nutlick should resign over Epstein links

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, a co-author of the law that compelled the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, on Sunday called on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign over his links to the late sex offender.

Asked on CNN’s “Inside Politics” if Lutnick – who the files show as having planned meetings with Epstein long after saying he broke off contact – should testify, Massie responded, “No, he should just resign. I mean, there are three people in Great Britain that have resigned in politics.”

Lutnick said in an interview last year that after a 2005 encounter at Epstein’s home, he grew uncomfortable and vowed that he “will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again.” But as CNN has previously reported, the documents reveal that Lutnick sought to meet with or call Epstein several times since 2005, including after Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution in 2008.

A Commerce Department spokesperson told CNN last month, “Secretary Lutnick had limited interactions with Mr. Epstein in the presence of his wife and has never been accused of wrongdoing.” CNN has reached out to the Commerce Department for a response to Massie’s latest comments.

1. K&R

Lutnick lied.
tRump said about Lutnick's name being mentioned multiple times in the Epstein files, "I'm sure they're fine."
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer won't compel Lutnick to testify before Congress.
Just another day in the land of the Trump Crime Family.

2. Massie is terrible in many ways, but he has also picked one of the most unassailable things

to make his brand/schtick: intolerance of pedophiles and pedophilophiles.

It is the easiest position to defend in the entire fucking world. It requires no ongoing thought or effort. You can do it in your sleep, you can do it without ever breaking a sweat, it is entirely composed of underhand soft toss pitches.

And most of the GrOPers would rather be oppositional to it than cross The Dotard. They would rather twist themselves into knots, parrot easily exposed lies, and spend their day dodging reporters.

3. He's up for re-election

NOT to diminish what he's saying and doing.

He knows the Trumpists will pour millions into getting a GOPer to primary him

But good on him all the same
