Republican Rep. Displays Utter Lack of Logic Over Hunter Biden Verdict
Thomas Massie tried to square his love of guns with his hatred for the Biden family.

For Republicans who oppose putting restrictions on purchasing firearms, resisting the urge to cheerlead Hunter Bidenâs guilty verdict in his gun trial might present a real-head scratcher. Just look at Representative Thomas Massie.
âHunter might deserve to be in jail for something, but purchasing a gun is not it,â Massie wrote on X. âThere are millions of marijuana users who own guns in this country, and none of them should be in jail for purchasing or possessing a firearm against current laws.â
The Kentucky Republicanâs position, as confusing as it may appear, should come as no surprise. Between 2012 and 2023, political action committees for gun rights gave $42,500 to Massie, according to the Lexington Herald Leader.
In 2021, Massie posted an image of his familyâs Christmas card photo, which showed each member of his family holding a firearm. In total, the seven guns were estimated to cost between $20,000 to $190,000, according to Forbes.
âMerry Christmas,â Massie captioned the picture. âP.S. Santa, please bring ammo.â
Massieâs mind-bending statement also drove in another Republican trope: an insistence that the Biden family is guilty, but of what crime, theyâre not quite sure.
