The Libertarian Party on Tuesday sided with Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie as he opposed the passage of a continuing resolution (CR), to the chagrin of President Donald Trump.

Trump on Monday and Tuesday urged voters in the Republican's district to primary Massie during the midterms, and said he would "lead" the charge to replace the congressman, whom he likened to former Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney.

Massie stood by his commitment to vote against the resolution during the legislation's final passage in the House on Tuesday night. He was the sole Republican to oppose the bill, which passed in a 217-213 split.

“Thomas Massie once again stands alone in Congress, voting against the CR bill while Republicans, who cheered the discovery of waste, fraud, and abuse, turn around and fund it anyway," Libertarian National Committee Chairman Steven Nekhaila said in a statement shared with Just The News.

"The hypocrisy is blatant," he continued. "Trump calls for GOP support, and like clockwork, they fall in line, proving once again that their 'fiscal conservatism' is just a convenient talking point. When it’s time to actually shrink government, they vote with the Democrats. Libertarians see through the scam.”

Maine Democratic Rep. Jared Golden swapped with Massie in the vote on Tuesday by voting with the Republicans to pass the bill. Golden defended his decision in a statement, claiming the CR was better than a government shutdown.

“This CR is not perfect, but a shutdown would be worse,” Golden told The Hill. “Even a brief shutdown would introduce even more chaos and uncertainty at a time when our country can ill-afford it. Funding the government is our most basic obligation as members of Congress. My vote today reflects my commitment to making tough choices and doing my job for the people of Maine.”

Golden represents a district in Maine that President Donald Trump won in November. 

The resolution now goes to the Senate, which needs to pass the bill with 60 votes by March 14.
