WASHINGTON — President Trump laced into his top GOP congressional adversary, Rep. Thomas Massie, as the worst Republican in Congress ever, as he gears up for a trip to Kentucky.
“I predict that ‘Representative’ Thomas Massie will go down as the WORST Republican Congressman in the long and fabled history of the United States Congress,” Trump needled on Truth Social.
“Even worse than Crazy Liz Chaney [sic], Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger, and Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Remember, Green turns to Brown under stress!). They are all misfits and losers, but Massie, who is running against a great American Patriot in the Kentucky Primary, will hopefully lose BIG.”
Massie (R-Ky.) hasn’t been shy about bucking Trump on key votes, having opposed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and numerous government funding bills, while championing the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Given the House GOP’s razor-thin majority, Massie’s opposition on key partisan votes has given Republican leadership headaches and made him the foremost congressional thorn in Trump’s side.
Trump’s longtime advisers, Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio, have launched the Kentucky MAGA Super PAC with a dedicated mission of taking down Massie in the May 19 primary.
The president and his allies have thrown their weight behind former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in his primary campaign against Massie.
Massie, who is backed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), another pol in Trump’s crosshairs, has attempted to fundraise off Trump’s broadsides.
“I predict ‘President’ DJT will begrudgingly sign my beautiful Epstein Files Transparency Act, causing beleaguered princes and ambassadors and prime ministers and CEOs around the world to be arrested or resign in total shame,” he shot back on X Wednesday with a fundraising link.
“Oh wait, that already happened.”
Trump will jet over to Massie’s home turf later in the day on Wednesday, visiting a packaging facility in Hebron, Kentucky, before holding another event in the greater Cincinnati area in Ohio.
Massie won’t be there during Trump’s visit, as he has a “previously scheduled official event,” according to his campaign.
“You can have differences, but you have to be constructive. He is not constructive. In fact, he’s the Democrats’ favorite member,” a senior administration official previously told The Post about Massie.
GOP leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), has also conveyed frustrations with Massie. On some tough votes, the GOP whip team assumes it won’t be able to win him over.
