He's dined with Maria Butina and voted against Russian sanctions: the Kentucky Republican picks up where Dana Rohrabacher left off.

For most of the last decade, former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) held the title of the most Kremlin-friendly member of the House of Representatives. But with Rohrabachers loss in his reelection bid last year, a new contender has laid claim to the crown.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), first elected to represent Kentuckys 4th District in 2012, may not be as bombastic as Rohrabacher or have as many colorful anecdotes about drunkenly arm-wrestling Russian President Vladimir Putin as the former California congressman. But hes distinguished himself in the House for pushing and voting for Russia-friendly measures, time and again.
Massie did not respond to ThinkProgress request for an interview.
Widely considered one of the most prominent libertarian members of Congress, the Kentucky congressman made news last month as one of the few Republicans to vote against President Donald Trumps emergency declaration, describing Trumps national emergency plans as overreach.
