U.S. Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) recently celebrated Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s decision to reject a deal from the Trump administration, leading to a public dispute with Stephen Miller.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller chimed in on that post, writing, “MIT is a federally funded and financed institution. The US government asked MIT, as one of America’s largest recipients of taxpayer dollars, to certify that students and professors will be hired based on objective merit and not skin color.”

“Undergrad tuition is privately funded at MIT with a few exceptions like Pell grants which apply to all colleges,” Massie wrote. “I trust MIT more than any party at the White House to know which 18 yr olds can solve differential equations. Also, Feds policing speech on campuses is Orwellian.”

    He is a cartoonishly villainous figure that stands out even in the crowd of villains in the White House, and he is apparently puppeting the presidency, the attorney general, and the DHS, at least, if not more. Just watched the Some More News deep dive on him and he’s apparently been a slimy racist entitled fuck since childhood.

      Something was definitely broken in him, gives off huge Randall Flagg vibes. I bet he has quite a few skeletons tbh. It’s pretty rare to be that fucked up since you were little/born.
