Congressman Thomas Massie lost his primary election to Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein on Tuesday evening amid Trump’s RINO revenge tour.
Earlier Tuesday, President Trump slammed the Kentucky lawmaker in a rare X post.
“Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country,” Trump said on Tuesday.
“I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said.

President Trump earlier this year launched a revenge tour to oust RINOs – and so far, he has largely succeeded.
Several Indiana state senate RINOs recently got ousted after they refused to redraw their state’s congressional map.
On Saturday night, RINO Senator Bill Cassidy lost his primary, so Trump is on a roll.
Trump celebrated the win on Tuesday.
White House Comms Director Steven Cheung had a message for other RiNOs.
Do not ever doubt President Trump and his political power. Fuck around, find out.
