Friend,

I want to provide you with an update on issues that we are discussing in Congress.

In April, President Biden and Vice President Harris stood in the Rose Garden and told one falsehood after another to the American people in order to advance their gun control agenda. I accepted an invitation to appear on One America News Network to expose the many lies that the Biden administration is telling. I've included a video of my appearance for your review.

The month also featured the first meeting of the Second Amendment Caucus, which I co-chair with Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado. We received a presentation from representatives of the DC Project, a nonpartisan initiative to reveal the real face of American gun owners: daughters, mothers, and sisters. They have asked us to oppose the nomination of David Chipman to be the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which I have done.

Speaking of the Second Amendment, I have also introduced legislation that

allows voting-age adults to purchase handguns. My legislation, known as the SAFER Voter Act, repeals the federal law that prevents adults aged 18 to 20 from purchasing handguns from Federal Firearm License (FFL) holders. More details are below. 

In April, I revealed that the vaccine fact-checkers at FactCheck.org are funded by an organization that holds over $1.8 billion of stock in a vaccine company. In addition, their organization is run by a former Director of the Centers for Disease Control. Daniel Horowitz has written an important article about this matter that I am pleased to share.

On a related subject, I have cosponsored legislation that seeks to fire Dr. Fauci.  I appeared as Kennedy's guest on the Fox Business Network to discuss the bill. I have included a video of my appearance below.

Finally, House Democrats have falsely impugned former President Trump and Republicans as "racist" and "xenophobic" for supporting temporary travel bans against seven specific countries. Their hypocrisy is staggering. On the House floor, I reminded them that they voted to restrict travel from these same seven countries when President Obama asked them to do so in 2015. 

For more details about these topics, please continue reading.

You can also keep track of my Congressional work on my regularly updated social media accounts. I hope you will consider following me on Facebook and Twitter. 

Massie Exposes Gun-Control Lies Told by Biden-Harris

I recently appeared on OAN’s "Real America with Dan Ball" to expose the false claims Biden and Harris are spreading to further their gun control agenda.

They are misrepresenting background check data, falsely claiming that gun manufacturers can't be sued, and lying about the prevalence of so-called "ghost guns" in crimes. We cannot allow these lies to go unchecked. I am grateful for the opportunity to fact-check them.

By the way, have you noticed that Democrats use the term "gun safety" instead of "gun control"? They don't want to say "gun control" because they know that phrase could cost them in the next election.

Massie Introduces the SAFER Voter Act 

I have introduced the "Second Amendment For Every Registrable Voter Act" (SAFER Voter Act). The SAFER Voter Act would repeal the federal law that prevents voting-age adults, ages 18 to 20, from purchasing a handgun from a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder.

Why should a 20-year-old single mom be denied the right to defend herself and her children? 18, 19, and 20-year-olds are considered adults and can vote on important public policy issues. They can also form business contracts, get married, and serve in the military. As adults, these Americans should not be deprived of basic constitutional rights.

The SAFER Voter Act's original co-sponsors include Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV), Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL). 

Companion legislation has been introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY). The legislation has also been endorsed by the Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR).

Revealed: Vaccine Fact-checker, FactCheck.org, is Funded by a Foundation Holding $1.8 billion in Johnson & Johnson Stock

On my Twitter account, @RepThomasMassie, I have been exposing the connections that vaccine fact-checker "FactCheck.org" has to a vaccine company, Johnson & Johnson (J&J). Did you know that funding for their work comes from the Robert Woods Johnson (RWJ) foundation? This is particularly notable because the RWJ Foundation holds over $1.8 billion worth of J&J stock. 

David Horowitz of TheBlaze.com has written an important article about the financial connections I have uncovered. The article is entitled "Facebook’s ‘independent’ fact-checker on vaccines is funded by … you guessed it." It is linked here. I encourage you to read the whole thing. 

Several of my loved ones have taken a COVID vaccine and I support their decisions. However, I have decided not to take the vaccine myself based on the fact that I’ve already tested positive for the antibodies due to prior exposure to the virus. For everyone, this needs to be a personal decision based on the best available information. People should not be deceived or coerced. That’s why I’m so passionate about exposing misinformation and conflicts of interest when I find them.

Massie Discusses "Fire Fauci Act" on Fox Business Network

In case you missed it, I was Kennedy's guest on her Fox Business show. We discussed the "Fire Fauci Act", reaching herd immunity, and the absurdity of the mask theater playing out in Washington, D.C.

Members of Congress fly back to Washington, D.C. on airplanes, sitting maybe six inches apart, not six feet apart. Then, when they get to Washington, they engage in all of this political theater. It's just ridiculous. We need to get back to normal, not a "new normal."

Massie Gives Hypocritical House Democrats a History Lesson

House Democrats are falsely impugning President Trump and Republicans as "racist" and "xenophobic" for supporting temporary travel bans against seven specific countries. I reminded hypocritical House Democrats that they voted for travel restrictions against these same seven countries when Obama was President.

The "Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015," signed by Obama, prevented four countries from getting expedited travel visas- Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Sudan. President Obama later added three more countries to this list- Libya, Somalia, and Yemen. The seven countries referenced above are the same seven countries Democrats single out now to insist support for travel restrictions are "racist" or "xenophobic."

Was it "racist" or "xenophobic" when Obama eliminated visa waivers for these same counties? No. I won't accuse anybody of that. That's what our colleagues on the other side of the aisle do. Everyone who voted for that legislation in 2015 was voting in the United States of America's best interests.
