Rep. Ro Khanna appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press and reacted to the political downfall of Rep. Thomas Massie, one of the most anti-Trump Republicans in Congress.
Khanna, a California Democrat, has worked closely with Massie on several issues, including efforts related to Iran’s war powers and the release of the Epstein files. During the interview, Khanna called Massie “a real friend” and said he felt “sadness” and “disappointment” over Massie’s defeat.
That reaction says everything.
Massie was never simply an independent-minded Republican. He repeatedly positioned himself against President Trump on some of the most important fights of Trump’s second term.
He opposed Trump’s major legislative agenda, fought the president on foreign policy, and built a strange political alliance with Democrats such as Khanna.
Khanna tried to frame Massie’s downfall as the result of courage. He claimed Massie was taken out because he worked to release the Epstein files and opposed the war in Iran.
But the real reason was much simpler: Massie went against Trump and the America First movement too many times.
When President Trump pushed the One Big Beautiful Bill as one of the defining legislative achievements of his second term, Massie opposed it.
When Trump moved forward with his foreign policy agenda, Massie joined Democrats in trying to limit the president’s authority. When Massie had the chance to stand with the Republican Party’s voters, he repeatedly chose the side of the Washington opposition.
Khanna’s defense of Massie also exposed how Democrats use Republicans who break with Trump. They praise them as “courageous” only when they help Democrats weaken the conservative agenda.
The interview then moved to the Supreme Court, where Khanna made clear how radical the future of the Democrat Party has become.
After criticizing a recent Supreme Court decision related to voting rights, Khanna called for term limits and expanding the court from nine to 13 seats once Democrats regain full power.
That is court-packing.
Democrats spent years calling Trump a threat to democracy. Yet their own solution to losing Supreme Court cases is to change the number of justices until they get the rulings they want.
Khanna claimed expanding the court would somehow “depoliticize” the judiciary. The opposite is true.
Once one party expands the Supreme Court for political gain, every future majority would have an incentive to do the same. The court would stop functioning as an independent branch and become another partisan battlefield.
Khanna also compared the current Supreme Court to the Dred Scott Court and accused the justices of rolling back civil rights. That kind of rhetoric is exactly how Democrats turn every legal defeat into a racial crisis.
The Supreme Court should not be packed because Democrats dislike its rulings.
Congressional districts should not be judged only by race because Democrats assume minority voters belong to them. And Republicans should not be surprised when Democrats mourn the defeat of a Republican who often helped them fight Trump.
Massie’s downfall is not a mystery. He chose to make himself an obstacle to Trump’s agenda, and the America First movement responded.
Ro Khanna’s reaction only proves how useful Massie had become to the left.
