At a rally in a car park outside his campaign headquarters in Florence, Kentucky, on Saturday, congressman Thomas Massie said that the Republican politicians who joined him had made a brave choice.
"I'm sure they'll be punished for coming here today," he said.
It didn't take long for Massie's warning to prove prophetic, as Donald Trump took to Truth Social to make his displeasure known.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who had been barnstorming with Massie all weekend, and Rand Paul, the Kentucky senator who endorsed Massie and shares his unorthodox small-government libertarianism, were "parading around like fools for the worst Republican congressman in the history of our party".
The president called Boebert "weak-minded" and "dumb" and said that he would withdraw his endorsement of her if a Republican challenger came forward.
Trump's threats weren't exactly realistic.
Paul doesn't stand for re-election for another two years. The filing date to run against Boebert in the Colorado Republican primary has already passed. But Trump's animosity toward Massie is very real - and it has had real consequences.
Even as Trump was visiting China last week, he was firing off posts attacking the congressman, whose district stretches along the Ohio River from the suburbs of Louisville and Cincinnati to the foothills of Appalachia. He has called him a "moron", a "loser", a "lowlife" and a "major sleazebag".

Just curious, but why does a brit who has lost his own country want to post for a guy who wants to follow Britain into ruin?
I usually like your posts but not this accusing me of agitprop
It’s close but he does seem upbeat whether it’s for show or not I dont know. We will know later.
Fair enough, just seemed to me you were being a bit to pie in the sky for Massie, I retract my agitprop comment.
Yes. He’s a “warm body”. This will be a big test. I dont know what way it goes but would be a little surprised they swap Massie for that gentleman.
By the way, you’ll notice I have barely mentioned his opponent yet on FR there are posters doing this to Massie non-stop copying/pasting their nonsense in every thread 😂
I wonder why sometimes....
I’m sick and tired of Rand Paul too
Is it not allowed to be interested in US politics? Without being accused of something awful
I dont have an agenda. I agree with most of you on a host of issues and we have no problems in many other threads on different topics?
It’s just a coincidence and bad timing. This year has been rough with the BBB and other issues.
For Rand and Massie!
How could you defend Massie’s anti Trump/MAGA voting record? Massie is not a Republican. He has to go.
We need a write in election to get rid of Bobert aka feel me up at the movies.
It’s a handful of votes I suggest. Most of the time he’s with Trump and the party
Let’s not exaggerate it
So “mud slinging “
Is not only okay but “truthful” when you do it 🤔
A good part of the hatred for Massie is that he has voted in House bills that are commensurate with senate votes with the likes of putrid, commie senators like Murkowski, Collins and sometimes Paul.
The political hatred for McConnell has a lot of national momentum for anyone considered GOPe or dem in KY, Massie is one of them.
lol seems your axe is pretty sharp😂
You mean the lobbies?
Congressmen campaigning for other congressmen, just screams of representing your constituents, your congressional club constituents that is😎
Yes, political lobbies
BIG, BIG money against him - the most in history- and yet here we are, pretty close contest
Yes it is and a certain party spent (what we know) 1.5 billion to lose.
Interesting times
I hope that Gallrein absolutely curbstomps mASSie’s teeth out of his mouthy libtard mouth. Hero on zero electoral violence is what I’m looking for.
What country are you in?
“We did not come to Congress to join the club,” he said. “We did not come for fame or fortune. We came for one purpose, and that is to defend the Constitution.”
Tilting at windmills so to speak. At some point effectiveness is important, and these two just aren’t.

WATCH:
Further proving his lack of character, @RepThomasMassie’s ex girlfriend Cynthia West @Cyntaxed007 told me during our interview that just a couple months into her 5 month relationship with Congressman Massie, which began 2 months after his wife of 30 years died, Massie gave Cynthia a “promise ring” and told her he loved her after telling her to move to DC to be with him.
The promise ring he gave her is a ring that belonged to the mother of Massie’s dead wife.
How come he didn’t give the ring to his daughter?
Talk about depraved behavior.
Watch the full 2 hour exclusive interview below 👇🏻
Kentucky voters need to see this before they vote on Tuesday, May 19th, 2026.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:
Thomas Massie’s Ex-Girlfriend And Former Congressional Staffer Cynthia West Tells All
@RepThomasMassie
@Cyntaxed007
@LoomerUnleashed conducted an exclusive interview with Cynthia West, Thomas Massie’s ex-girlfriend and a former staffer for GOP Congresswoman Victoria Spartz @RepSpartz.
In this interview, Ms. West reveals shocking details about her relationship with Rep. Massie, including how he allegedly pressured her and other women to perform sexual acts they were uncomfortable with.
Massie’s taxpayer funded congressional staff were allegedly involved in helping coverup Massie’s sexual improprieties, including alleged sexual encounters with GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert @laurenboebert within weeks of Massie’s wife of 30 years passing away.
Ms. West makes it clear that her life as a mother, a working woman, a social worker, an advocate for the voiceless, and a current candidate for Okaloosa County School Board District 5 in Florida, has been severely and negatively impacted by her relationship with Congressman Massie, and that she stands to gain nothing by going public except for providing transparency and accountability in government.
Ms. West has not received money or any compensation for her interview and allegations against Rep. Massie, and she is not working with any of his political opponents. She wants the voters in Kentucky’s 4th District and the American people to know the truth, and she doesn’t want any other men or women to be sexually and emotionally exploited and abused the way she has been by a member of Congress who claims to be fighting for the Epstein victims.
This explosive interview comes as Thomas Massie will face off against his primary opponent, Ed Gallrein @EdGallrein, on Tuesday, May 19th, 2026 in Kentucky. President Trump @realDonaldTrump has endorsed Massie’s opponent and has called on voters in Kentucky to vote Thomas Massie out of office.

And why does President trump call Massie the worst politician?
Look:
EXCLUSIVE:
🚨 Thomas Massie’s ex-girlfriend tells me one of the reasons why she decided to go public with her story is because he is taking money from Iranians and the Islamic lobby 🚨
Former Congressional staffer and @RepThomasMassie’s ex-girlfriend @Cyntaxed007 Cynthia West tells me Massie’s anti-Israel crusade is riddled with hypocrisy. West said Massie talked to her about his “Iranian connections” and that she became alarmed when she started looking at his donors and saw he was taking so much Islamic money from Iranians.
She told me,
“When you start looking at Joe Kiani,” West said, referring to the Iranian-born Democrat megadonor, “this is one of Thomas’s big donors.”
West said Massie appeared to be receiving money from “pro-Palestinian folks” while publicly attacking Israel.
“He’s at this fundraising event,” West said, “and it appears that he is receiving money from these pro-Palestinian folks, and then also tweeting while he’s there, saying, hey, we need to remove all aid and assistance to Israel.”
West raised an important question about Thomas Massie’s stance on Israel: “Are you a pay-to-play?” West likened Massie’s views on Israel to selling his soul.
West also called out the hypocrisy of Massie railing against pro-Israel influence while benefiting from donors and PAC money connected to Jewish and pro-Israel contributors. “You can’t be like, oh, I don’t want people getting money from AIPAC, while at the same time you’re taking money from the other side,” West said, referring to the Islamic lobby backing Massie with so much money.
Massie pretends to be some “America First” isolationist and lectures us about foreign interference while allegedly taking money from Muslim, communist anti-Israel Democrats. “You need to be principled,” West said.
But Thomas Massie isn’t principled. He’s a hypocrite and a liar.
Release the Massie Files!

EXCLUSIVE:
🚨 Congressman Randy Fine @RepFine tells me he was approached by Cynthia West @Cyntaxed007 (Thomas Massie’s accuser) last year in Florida about Thomas Massie’s @RepThomasMassie alleged financial ties to Iran. 🚨
Rep. Randy Fine revealed to me that he met Thomas Massie’s ex-girlfriend, Cynthia West at a GOP event called the Florida Freedom Forum on August 2, 2025.
In an exclusive statement to @LoomerUnleashed, Fine said, “Cynthia West came up to me and told me that Massie is a total sexual creep, weirdo, and he had put her in a difficult personal situation. She told me he asked her to do things in their relationship that she felt were not appropriate. She said Massie also has direct ties to Iran. We stayed in touch.”
Additionally, Fine said Ms. West told him Massie asked her to engage in personal and sexual behaviors she felt were inappropriate, claimed emotional abuse during their relationship, and expressed concerns over the Iranian ties, which she believes are financial from what she saw and heard during the time they were dating.
Rep. Fine told @LoomerUnleashed,
“I am particularly troubled by the allegation that Thomas Massie used his power to get his then girlfriend a taxpayer funded position position in Rep. Victoria Spartz’s @RepSpartz office shortly after they began dating in late 2024, only to have her fired shortly after in what West described as retaliation after her breakup with Massie when she no longer wanted to entertain his creepy sexual demands.”
Separately, Fine noted that in May 2025, Iranian-born billionaire Joe Kiani @JoeKiani, an Iranian born donor and the founder of medical technology giant Masimo Corporation and Willow Laboratories, allegedly hosted a fundraiser for Massie that raised $100,000, during which Massie reportedly bashed Israel while the event was underway. Joe Kiani is an Iranian born Democrat mega donor. In 2021, he was appointed by Joe Biden to serve on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a move that was widely viewed as an alleged pay for play position by House Oversight Republicans.
Kiani has reportedly donated millions of dollars to Democrat causes and candidates, including $1 million to the Biden Foundation in 2017, $750,000 to the pro-Biden super PAC Unite the Country, and $1 million to the Biden Inaugural Committee. In addition to receiving an appointment to PCAST, Mr. Kiani’s company Masimo received over $3 million in federal government contracts under Biden’s regime.

In August 2024, Joe Biden vacationed at Kiani’s $37 million ranch in California.
I have obtained this photo of Massie and Cynthia West from the time they were dating, proving she isn’t lying about their romantic relationship, which began roughly two months after Massie’s wife of 30 years died. Cynthia tells me Massie dated at least one other woman before her, just a couple weeks after his wife mysteriously died.
