They failed every time. Massie is basically a Paul disciple. Like Paul, he takes his beliefs seriously, as exemplified when he was the only Republican to vote against the Stolen Valor Bill, based on First Amendment grounds. He was right on that. I recall he also voted against censuring one of The Squad members on the same grounds.
I would also note that he voted with Biden only 1.8% of the time, which I believe was the lowest in the House, so he has more conservative cred than any of his GOP critics. He and Chip Roy have the most conservative voting records and both endorsed DeSantis, because DeSantis is far more conservative and principled than Trump.
