Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) posted a startling message on social media Friday declaring, “I am not suicidal,” following a heated public clash with conservative media figures over House voting procedures.
Massie's comment came after a lengthy thread in which he criticized what he called “the swamp” and accused conservative commentators, including Laura Ingraham, of misleading the public about a House procedural vote related to the SAVE Act.
“Can you, the people, ‘vote your way out of this?’ Honestly, not if you get your news from these folks,” Massie wrote, claiming that even members of Congress are deceived by conservative media.
The thread escalated when he issued a follow-up post that appeared to reference his personal safety.
“I am not suicidal,” he wrote Friday. “I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone, including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and I’m a pretty good swimmer.”
Massie has recently drawn attention for bucking GOP leadership and for pushing the Justice Department to unredact Epstein-related files.
