Thomas Massie gets sassy in response to troll trying to shame him for retaining Twitter checkmark

We need more class in Congress, obviously. But we also need more sass.

That’s where GOP Rep. Thomas Massie comes in. He’s always willing to get #SassyWithMassie, like he did here in response to a troll trying to own him with a poorly done depiction of Massie transforming into Mitch McConnell:

Yeah, it doesn’t look like the app was terribly impressed by the troll’s attempt. But maybe we’d all be impressed by this troll’s take on Massie’s tweet:

You pay $8 for a checkmark.

Presumably that was meant to be a mic drop on Massie, but Massie saw it differently. In fact, he saw an opportunity to drop a mic of his own — a much bigger one — on the troll. And, of course, he relished that opportunity and seized on it:

Actually, you pay $8 for this checkmark.#sassywithmassie https://t.co/N7FvWtKu0F

That’s a good tweet, right there. Actually, that’s a great tweet. Not only does it sting on a superficial “you just got owned” level, but it also reminds us that taxpayers pay for all kinds of stupid crap for politicians who are more than capable of paying for it themselves.
