Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) called this week for Congress to release the names of House members who have been accused of “harassment (sexual and other forms)” and used taxpayer money to settle the claims.

Massie, a deficit hawk and libertarian-leaning Republican, posed to X on Thursday and wrote, “Congress has secretly paid out more than $17 million of your money to quietly settle charges of harassment (sexual and other forms) in Congressional offices.” He added, “Don’t you think we should release the names of the Representatives? I do.”

Massie’s post included a clip from a June 2024 House hearing on President-elect Donald Trump’s porn star hush money conviction. Massie said at the time that “Congress has paid over $17 million in hush money for sexual misconduct inside of the offices in these buildings. And what’s more is that was taxpayer money.”

During the hearing Massie made clear that the issue is bipartisan and pointed the finger at his colleagues, saying, “Who in here has had the taxpayer pay for their sexual misconduct charges, the hush money?” “I bet there is some over there, there may be some over here,” he added before drawing a parallel to the Trump case. “Not a penny of it has been turned in as a campaign finance expense,” Massie declared, referring to a key allegation against Trump that led in part to his 34 count conviction and his personal attorney Michael Cohen doing jail time from 2019 to 2021.

1. If this is known and being held over reps' heads, they are compromised

and perhaps or probably influenced on some issues.

2. I remember when Gaetz had supposedly threatened

to reveal some of them...

3. Happy to see this get exposed.

The blind squirrel (Massie) maybe found a nut.

4. This ex-congressman knows something about sexual escapades in Congress.

5. He could get some revenge if he likes!

7. Nah, he already had 'the visit'.

He knows they would finish what the accident started if he says anything. There are some powerful men in politics. They don't take too kindly to the peons pulling back the curtain.

But, since Gaetz is already going down, he may decide to go ahead and drag some others with him. He strikes me as the 'burn it all behind me' type. They usually don't cotton to threats and usually see such a thing as even more motivation to speak up.

What's Massie hiding?

9. There's probably someone we won't be happy about

On “the list”. I’m sure it’ll cut both ways.

8. Good, expose them all

Get rid of every single creep outed.

10. If there's any truth to this, then expose them

but Massie might be full of it

[FakeNoose]

11. If Thomas Massie knows, then he should go ahead and tell us

12. Blackmail of GOP reps for hiding depraved sexcapades is a MASSIVE national security threat

...

14. Not to Russia/Pootie.

The destruction of our democracy is well underway. When citizens quit believing laws need to be followed...

13. Look no further than your creepy republican colleagues
