Kate Bolduan’s Interview with Rep. Massie Gets Heated: Congressman, Are You ‘Trying to Question My Intelligence?’

‘I do not appreciate when someone suggests or insinuates that I’m not prepared’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

BOLDUAN: "A week before, you were the only one to vote against. Did you not read it?"

MASSIE: "I read it. They came to me and said, 'Gee, you’re brave. We'd like to vote the way you're voting, but this is a political gotcha.' And so then a week later, a lot of them didn’t have the courage to vote no. As you pointed out, they voted present. That’s the difference between me and these other folks up here. I have the courage. I’ll come on your show and take the heat, but I’ll also talk about what’s in that resolution."

BOLDUAN: "Recognizes that denying Israel's right to exist is a form of anti-Semitism. You do not support — "

MASSIE: "That's the name of the resolution. Congratulations."

BOLDUAN: "I'm not reading the name of the resolution.

MASSIE: "Congratulations, you're able to read the name of the resolution. I don't vote on the names."

BOLDUAN: "Ooh. Ooh, congressman, I don't think you want — I don't think you want — I don't think you’re trying to question my intelligence now, are you?"

MASSIE: "No, I'm just saying you don't have time to prepare for this like I did."
