President Trump renewed his assault on Rep. Thomas Massie Wednesday through multiple Truth Social posts ahead of campaign stops in Massie's Kentucky district and Ohio.
Trump called Massie "the Republican Party's worst congressman ever," and "a complete and total disaster," lumping him with GOP critics Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Marjorie Taylor Greene as "misfits and losers."
Trump defended his endorsed primary challenger, Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, against Massie's criticism regarding Gallrein's former independent status, arguing Gallrein ultimately supported Trump while Massie consistently votes "no."
Trump pressured Massie to back the SAVE America Act, which critics say would restrict voting access and transgender rights. Trump called Massie disloyal to the Republican Party, Kentucky, and the United States, demanding his removal from office and urging voters to support Gallrein as "a true American hero."
