I respectfully disagree. Representative Massie has been standing for liberty and smaller government since he arrived in Congress. It's one thing to destroy a speech from a sitting president. It's another to creatively point out how much debt the government has racked up.
It's not an indictment on his tenure, but it's a purely symbolic gesture meant to get people on our "side" to feel like we're getting a win. Just like Pelosi with the speech.
