Massie: Republicans need to ‘wake up’ to avoid ‘absolute shellacking’ in midterms

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-K.Y.) warned Thursday that Republicans could suffer major losses in November if the party doesn’t “wake up,” predicting an “absolute shellacking” for the GOP in the midterm elections.

“The problem is we’re wasting our opportunity that the voters gave us,” he continued. “And the Republicans are going to pay for that in November. It’ll be an absolute shellacking if they don’t wake up.”
