joining him in this flip-flop is thomas massey of kentucky, boast known for his gun-toting christmassness of calling government aid a socialist scheme. it seems to be socialism for me but not for thee, case in point. a rockefeller institute found that kentucky got billions more than n federal aid than it sent in 2018-2019. more than the blue states in the east that needed help after sandy. now would be the time for rand paul to insist that kentuckians apply for charity or reallocation of funds, rather than asking the president for help. that would be an insult to his suffering constituents right now. just like it is when senators from other states ask for help, after devastating natural disasters, which are getting worse due to the climate crisis that many still deny. it isn't complicated. it's common sense. government exists in large part to help each other in times of great need. listen to the kentucky-born abraham lincoln who believed that the object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done. but cannot do at all or cannot do so well for them

congressman thomas massey, republican from kentucky, puts out that holiday photo of his gun-toting familyrs were murdered in a school shooting. then after that caused a storm on the internet, congresswoman boebert decides to piggyback on it in a show of support with her own family firearm photo. look, there are lots of amateurish, bad actors in washington. but we need to stop rewarding them with the attention they crave. to be clear, lauren boebert deserves punishment like gosar and greene. but not censure or loss of committee assignments. these efforts may carry weight in congress but for the average person they just ensure the offender becomes more relevant. in the cable world and a punch line on late night tv. censure is not as severe as expulsion but it's stronger than a reprimand. censure used to mean something and be feared by members. like when in 1983, representatives gerry studs and daniel crane were censured for having sex with 17-year-old congressional pages. yeah, that happened. in 2010, representative charlie rangel, then the chair of ways and means, was censured after having

you'll remember that one of her congress colleagues thomas massey made headlines last week with a similar of his family. >> house democrats were already calling for boebert to be disciplined for her repeated is islam phobic comments about ilhan omar. i got to read some tweets because there's a back and forth that's relevant here. congressman alexandria oc ocasio-cortez re-tweeted that photo. tell me where christ said use the commemoration of my birth, all the -- erasing christmas and its meaning when they're doing fine all on their own. and then boebert replied with aoc uses her position as a congresswoman to attack my boys with their christmas presents. first, i don't know if it's a good idea for boebert to go online here and admit that her 8-year-old who's not tall enough to ride space mountain now has a semiautom semiautomatic rifle if those guns are real. this plays right into what lauren boebert wants. this aoc back and forth seems like the strategy. it's the point of putting the picture up in the first place. >> this is an attempt to shift the conversation on to terms that we know t

thomas massey had a similar photo a few days ago.s a feeling among some members who are there to legislate that there are some members in their conference who just want attention, who just want to be grifterses as representative dan crenshaw said this week. i think that is one of the challenges that republicans have in their midst is the fact that lauren boebert is going to keep posting these kinds of photos, keep saying the comments she's been saying. and that's why this is so difficult to tie it back to the democratic problem of whether or not they're going to take action because she's not going to stop no matter what the punishment is. ana? >> lauren, thank you very much. >>> less than a year after surviving a horrific rollover car crash, golf legend tiger woods is back. when and where you can watch his return to the course next. ...and dry, cracked skin. new gold bond advanced healing ointment. restore healthy skin, with no sticky feeling. gold bond. champion your skin. ♪ christmas music ♪ ♪ ♪ if your dry eye symptoms keep coming

. >> gloria, i want to ask you about congressman thomas massey, republican of kentucky's weird christmasare seen holding guns and these are not hunting rifles, may i add, and he's wishing everyone a merry christmas with this. i'm not sure that congressman massey understands christ's message of nonviolence, but i guess even more timely, i mean, imagine if you're the families of the four students who were killed a few days before he posted that message. i mean, has he no sensitivity to the families of parkland who have to relive the trauma every time something like this happens, the families now in michigan, i mean, what's he doing? >> you know, i can't get in his head either. i mean, today, he doubled down on the gun photo saying i didn't realize it would be such an explosive cocktail when you put it together. but it adds up to freedom. that's what he said. i don't understand that either. it is clearly not a message of peace on earth, and i don't know what other message he wanted to send, but it's inappropriate, and it's disgraceful and i have no idea what he was thinking but he's refusin

congressman thomas massey posting this christmas card on twitterch the congressman and his wife and histmas, ps, santa, please bring ammo. he's a gun rights, that's his position. phil, the question is why then in the timing is -- will offend many, did offend many. congressman knows that. this is i want attention at this moment. >> it's trolling. we were talking about it during the break. i've got friends back where i'm from that oftentimes take family photos with guns, it's hunters. it's what they do and it's part of the culture. not with guns like that in particular. those aren't hunting rifles and not at that tomb. tease get attention, i'm sorry, and congressman massie he's a republican kind of in his own wing of the house republican conference to some degree, and he'll often tweet things that maybe are a bit inflammatory, and i think they are always designed to some degree and you've covered him a lot longer than i have, but it's explicitly designed to get attention and to draw a rise out of people. >> that's the brand, right? poke. >> absolutely. his politics don't always fall along

thomas massey tweeting out a epiphany of a gun fetish, this family photo of everyone holding a long gun, merry christmas, ps, santa, please bring the ammo, four days after the school shooting in michigan. and and joe, you tweeted, "too many politicians act as if life begins at conception and ends at birth. they claim the mantle of life but promote a culture of violence on medicine and obsession with executions over refusal to support overwhelmingly popular gun safety laws and massive pentagon budgets. they oppose even the most basic safety net guarantees and fight and endless war against decent healthcare for all americans. if supporting a guaranteed healthcare is socialist then margaret thatcher was a socialist, hint, she was not. >> of course she was not. if you go back to all of these things and all the big whine up just looking at the weekend how we are seeing especially kevin mccarthy's house delegation go, more extreme, more hateful. and the contrast craig shirley was talking about this week with bob dole. a gentleman who understood you can be a conservative without checking your

this follows gun photos of republican congressman thomas massey and lauren bobert and there is this 2019ter surrounded by him and his two sons holding guns and there is this candidate from nevada, noah malgeri, republicans calling for an investigation into mark millie who was accused in a book of undermining donald trump. the candidate says there is no need for an investigation, instead, millie should be found for treason and if found guilty should be hang. the problem is the ongoing corrosion of our culture. if this was just one person but we have a rash of people saying things and posting things and posting photos of themselves. we spoke about this a little bit. it's the same phenomenon of kyle rittenhouse of people being involved in violence and celebrated by the right. >> again, based on my past when we grew up. we thought this is something that extremists on the left and not that guns and everything else but breaking customs and being radical and attacking institutions and attacking the military and attacking intel community and it's just flipped on and kevin williams said the right
