美国中文网综合报道 总值2.2万亿美元的历史性纾困协议在众院过关前的最后一刻遇阻，肯塔基州共和党众议员马西（Thomas Massie）威胁要唱名表决而非语音投票的方式阻碍法案通过，但该法案最终仍顺利通过。总统川普则在众院投票前夕将矛头对准了马西，呼吁将他逐出共和党。
周五的投票前，马西连发多条推特，表示他将反对用语音投票对该法案进行表决。周五早上，议员们被紧急召往国会山。
周五的投票前，马西连发多条推特，表示他将反对用语音投票对该法案进行表决。周五早上，议员们被紧急召往国会山。
马西推文称：“宪法规定，必须有法定人数的议员出席，才能在众议院开展业务。现在，在这种大流行期间，仍然有数百万的核心行业、工薪阶层的美国人去上班……要求众议院像参院一样做好工作是不是要求太多了？”
最终，他的一意孤行未能得到其他同事支持，投票仍以语音的方式进行。
总统川普周五也对马西的做法表示强烈反对。
推文写道：“很不幸，一位名叫@RepThomasMassie、来自肯塔基这个伟大的州的三流政客，想要投票反对新的《拯救美国工人法案》。”
川普批评称：“他只是想要求关注。他阻止不了，只能拖延，这既危险…又昂贵。工人和小企业现在需要钱才能生存。病毒不是他们的错。与民主党人打交道的是‘地狱'，不得不放弃一些愚蠢的事情才能完成‘大局'。90％很棒！赢回众院，但将马西赶出共和党！”
在另一条推文中，总统试图以马西担任保守党众议院第二修正案核心小组主席的身份为目标，他写道：“通过给左翼激进派民主党人更多权力，无所作为的肯塔基政客@RepThomasMassie会使他们对第二修正案的战争越来越难。（但不用担心，无论如何我们都会赢！）他对美国和肯塔基州来说都是一场灾难！”
两位消息人士称，马西曾试图与总统联络，但不清楚他们是否已交谈。
Donald Trump calls for 'expulsion' of GOP lawmaker who single-handedly blocked bailout bill
According to a comprehensive report by china.com.cn, the historic $2.2 trillion bailout deal was blocked at the last minute before the House passed, representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, blocked the bill by threatening a roll-call vote instead of a voice vote, but it passed without a hitch. President Donald Trump, on the eve of the House vote, turned on Massy, calling for his expulsion from the Republican Party.
Before Friday's vote, Massy tweeted repeatedly that he would oppose a voice vote on the bill. On Friday morning, lawmakers were rushed to Capitol Hill.
"The constitution requires a quorum to operate in the house, " Massy tweeted. Is it too much to ask the house to do the same job as the Senate? " In the end, he said, "is it too much to ask the house to do the same job? "
His insistence was not supported by his colleagues, and the vote continued to be conducted by voice.
President Donald Trump also vehemently rejected Massy's approach on Friday.

"unfortunately, a third-rate politician named@RepThomasMassie from the Great State of Kentucky wants to vote against the new save American Workers Act, " the tweet read. "He just wants attention. ".
He can't stop it. He has to stall. It's dangerous... and expensive. Workers and small businesses now need money to survive. The virus is not their fault. Dealing with the Democrats is hell, and having to give up something stupid to get the big picture done. 90% is great! Win Back the house, but kick Massy out of the Republican Party!"

In another tweet, the president sought to target Massy as chairman of the Second Amendment Caucus in the conservative House of Representatives, "By giving more power to the left-wing Radical Democrats, the feckless Kentucky Politician@repthomasmassie will make their second amendment war harder and harder, " he wrote. (but don't worry, we'RE GOING TO WIN ANYWAY!) He's a disaster for both the United States and Kentucky!"
Two sources said, massy had tried to contact the president, but it was unclear whether they had spoken.
