Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Wednesday introduced a bill that would pull the United States out of the NATO alliance.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said she would co-sponsor the bill, while Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has introduced companion legislation in the upper chamber.

“NATO is a Cold War relic. We should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our own country, not socialist countries,” Massie said in a statement.

“NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over thirty years ago. Since then, U.S. participation has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and continues to risk U.S. involvement in foreign wars,” he added.

Russian asset does Russian asset things.

    Thomas Massie, Anna Paulina Luna and Mike Lee should immediately withdraw from office so we can stop paying those Jim Crow relics their salaries. We should use that money to pay someone who will work for the people instead of total fealty to a dictators like Trump and Putin.
