Neo-Nazi-quoting GOP congressman mocked for latest COVID attack: 'Dumbest tweet of the day'

U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is once again being mocked and ridiculed, this time for a tweet posted to his official account that argues against Medicare for All because, “Over 70% of Americans who died with COVID, died on Medicare.”

COVID is known to be deadliest to those of advanced age, and America’s seniors are Medicare’s primary recipients.

Massie recently came under fire for his Christmas family photo featuring even his children brandishing assault-style rifles.

But just 10 days ago Massie wasn’t just ridiculed, he was slammed for his attack on Dr. Anthony Fauci, which featured a quote he falsely attributed to Voltaire that read: “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

“The quote is commonly attributed to Kevin Alfred Strom, a neo-Nazi who pleaded guilty in 2008 to possession of child pornography. Strom uttered a similar quote during a virulently antisemitic 1993 radio broadcast,” CNN reported in a fact check.

That tweet has never been taken down.

Arizona Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego blasted Massie:

Here’s how some others are responding to Massie’s latest tweet:
