Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) emerged as the lone Republican to vote against the continuing resolution passed by the House of Representatives. Massie called the issue a “fake fight” and said House Democrats were only voicing opposition to the bill because they knew it would pass anyway.

“They plan to pass it with all Republicans here in the House, but after we leave town, the Democrats are going to vote for it in the Senate,” he said in a video post shortly before the House vote.
