Dem Rep Rose: ‘There Will Be Blood on Thomas Massie’s Hands’ — ‘This Is Disgusting,’ ‘Inhumane’

In a Friday interview on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Rep. Max Rose (D-NY) reacted to libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) signaling he could hold up the passage of the Senate’s $2 trillion coronavirus emergency relief package.

A heated Rose slammed Massie, saying there will be “blood” on his hands if he delays the vote 24 hours. Rose also said Massie holding up the package is “disgusting,” “inhumane” and “un-American.”

“So, let me take a moment and talk about Thomas Massie because I don’t take his actions or his threats so lightly,” Rose emphasized. “Every single day, constituents of mine, residents of my district Staten Island and South Brooklyn are dying. We see New York City, New York State, the epicenter of this crisis and that crisis will move on to other places in America.”

He continued, “We have never seen a threat like this. So, Thomas Massie, this is disgusting. This is inhumane. You aren’t a libertarian, you’re un-American. If we push this back 24 hours there will be blood on Thomas Massie’s hands, anyone else who steps in the way of this, blood on their hands. We’ve got to get the money out into hospitals pockets; PPE for our first responders. Action is needed.”

“OK, I understand your frustration, New York City is particularly hard hit, but I think questioning his patriotism, calling him un-American is something that I’m sure Thomas Massie will have a chance to respond to,” host Ed Henry stated.

Rose replied, “Good.”
