President Donald Trump hinted on Wednesday that a Republican lawmaker who crossed him and sided with the president's foe Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) could be next on his revenge list.
Trump revived his threats against Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), "an 'America First' firebrand who broke with the president by pushing to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and campaigning with Massie last weekend," according to a report from Politico's Playbook.
The president told reporters that he would consider a challenger to Boebert's primary election on June 30, despite the fact that "it’s a little late in the race," and that he would "give a look if somebody raises their hand to run against her," Politico reported.
After Massie's defeat on Tuesday night in the most expensive House primary in history, Boebert wrote "Trump is my President!" in a post on X.
Massie had claimed earlier this month that Trump had retaliated against Boebert after she didn't follow his demands to remove her name from the discharge petition to release government documents connected to Epstein, taking her to the Situation Room to give her the ultimatum, which she ultimately defied.
🚨 REPORTER: Have you met anyone about replacing Lauren Boebert?
