I don't really know enough about Massie to have a fully formed opinion on him, but this is some excellent theatre.

When Republicans and their rightoid analogues across the Western world occasionally have people crossing the aisle to vote with the opposition for some reason, like when it comes to gay shit, or trade affairs, or even sometimes just personal beef and party politics, it sometimes makes the local headlines for a day or so within that representative's constituency, and it may even get a mention in national coverage.

But when a Republican crosses the floor on ISRAEL, it's national fucking news, twitter is ablaze, the kvetching is cranked up to eleven, and everyone on both the right AND the left are just fucking bursting at the seams trying to contain their primitive, basal desire to scream ANTISEMIIIIIIIITE at the top of their lungs.
