Trump Intensifies Effort To Unseat “Weak and Pathetic RINO” Thomas Massie After Cassidy’s Humiliating Primary Defeat – Backs Navy Seal Hero Ed Gallrein In Tight Kentucky Showdown

President Donald Trump is wasting no time expanding his America First purge of anti-Trump Republicans following Senator Bill Cassidy’s humiliating political collapse in Louisiana.
Just days after Trump-backed forces helped end Cassidy’s political career, the president has now set his sights on another longtime thorn in the side of the MAGA movement: Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie.
On Sunday, Trump took to Truth Social to deliver a blistering endorsement of Navy SEAL Captain Ed Gallrein to challenge the seven-term congressman in Tuesday’s high-stakes Republican primary.
Trump didn’t mince words, calling Massie a “Third Rate Congressman,” a “Weak and Pathetic RINO,” and demanding he be “thrown out of office, ASAP!” from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Trump wrote the following statements during the weekend:
“Tom Massie of Kentucky, the worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country, is an even bigger insult to our Nation than Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who suffered an unprecedented loss tonight by not even being allowed to run in the Republican Primary. This is the first time such a thing has ever happened to a sitting U.S. Senator! That’s what you get by voting to Impeach an innocent man, especially one who made it possible for Cassidy’s Senate win. Very disloyal, but Tom Massie, a major Sleazebag, is even worse! Kentucky, get this LOSER out of politics in Tuesday’s Election. He is nicknamed Rand Paul Jr., another real “beauty,” because of his absolutely terrible voting habits. Vote for Ed Gallrein, a successful Kentucky farmer, and American War Hero, who only ran because he thought that Massie was so disloyal and disrespectful to your President, ME! This is a great man, Central Casting, in fact, who truly deserves to represent the fantastic people of Kentucky, a Commonwealth that I am proud to have won all three times, in record fashion! ED WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP..”

“Bad Congressman Tom Massie voted against Tax Cuts, the Border Wall, our Military and Law Enforcement. Actually, he voted against almost everything that is good. The Worst Republican Congressman in History. Kentucky, vote the bum out on Tuesday. We can’t live with this troublemaker for another two years. He is a true negative force!!! President DJT”

“Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won big SIX TIMES, including all Primaries, must be thrown out of office, ASAP! He is the Worst “Republican” Congressman in History, voting against Tax Cuts, the Wall, Law Enforcement, and in favor of the Transgender Mutilization of our Children, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and so many more horrible things. The incredible people of Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District gave us a mandate to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and the person that will help us do that is Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Fifth Generation Kentucky Farmer, Captain Ed Gallrein, a true America First Patriot.
A Brave Combat Veteran, Ed knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. Additionally, as a very successful Businessman, Ed knows how to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Support our Amazing Farmers and American Agriculture, Unleash American Energy Dominance, and Champion our Nation’s Golden Age. In Congress, he will fight tirelessly to Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.
The Great People of Kentucky are wise to Massie — He only votes against the Republican Party, making life very easy for the Radical Left. Unlike “lightweight” Massie, a totally ineffective LOSER who has failed us so badly, CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. Election Day is Tuesday, May 19th. VOTE FOR ED GALLREIN — HE HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
The Guardian reported:
Undeterred by Trump’s lurid attacks, Massie put on a brave face on the Sunday political show This Week on ABC News. “I’m the only one they haven’t been able to bully,” he said, adding: “I’m ahead in the polls, and they’re desperate … That’s why the president’s losing sleep and tweeting about this.”
In fact, Massie’s position is not as comfortable as he made out. An independent poll by Quantus Insights last week put Gallrein, a farmer and retired US Navy Seal, ahead of the incumbent representative 48% to 43%, with 8% undecided.
Massie insisted on CNN that he was buoyed up by the support of anti-abortion and gun rights groups in the state, and by millions of dollars in donations from grassroots voters. By contrast, he blamed super-wealthy donors including Miriam Adelson and Paul Singer and what he called the “Israeli lobby” for bombarding Kentucky with money to unseat him.
The prevailing political wind is certainly in Trump’s direction, as he continues to stamp out any sign of autonomous thought within his party. On Saturday Bill Cassidy, the Republican senator from Louisiana, was ousted in a primary as punishment for having voted to convict Trump in his 2021 impeachment over the January 6 insurrection.
