The Republican who stood up to Trump is hoping for a big win against president
BBC ^ | May 19 | BBC

Posted on 05/19/2026 2:34:32 AM PDT by RandFan

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".

Massie appears upbeat and reports from the district are that he has enthusiasm and momentum among activists.

I wish him luck of course. The lobby's have tried everything to unseat him.

NEW 🚨 THOMAS MASSIE FILES

Cynthia West EX GIRLFRIEND of Thomas Massie exposes him as a sexual deviant & bribed her with $5,000 cash to stay silent.

Massie DM’d her on X in August of 2024 not even 2 months after his wife of 31 years passed away in June 2024.

Massie ended up getting her a congressional staffer job in D.C. Massie pressured her to be involved in deviant sexual behavior with him. Cynthia rejected feeling extremely pressured and uncomfortable.

When she rejected, Thomas Massie had her fired, bribed her & threatened her not to file a complaint.

A complaint was filed in fall of 2025. The same time period when Thomas Massie remarried to a different staffer 20 years younger than Massie.

The man who claimed screamed the loudest about “Transparency for Epstein” turned out to be a scumbag himself.

⚜️ The Thomas Massie Files Have Been Released, & They’re Quite Disturbing ⚜️

Cynthia West, a Florida School Board candidate for Okaloosa County District 5 has been carrying a secret, & she didn’t know who to turn to for advice about how to handle it.

So, she met up with
@marcuscarey
, a prominent Kentucky attorney, to seek advice & he interviewed her where she agreed to go on the record with what has been unfolding in her life, involving Thomas Massie, another Congresswoman, attempts to bribe with cash & silence with an NDA.

Two months after Massie’s wife, Rhonda, passed away, she entered into a romantic relationship with him, which was in August, 2024. Totally normal behavior from a new Widower.

The pair went on trips & she’d visit him in Kentucky, in Rhonda’s home. Things heated up pretty between them, & he gave her a promise ring. Things were going great between them. In fact, Thomas helped West get a job working for Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz. This way, she could travel to DC to spend more time with him while she was there.

Then, the relationship took a weird turn. He began requesting she do s*x acts for him that made her uncomfortable. When she refused & objected to it, she expressed that he became angry & emotionally abusive towards her. West ended the relationship, but continued working for Rep. Spartz.

Shortly after the breakup, she said she got a text saying she was fired. Cynthia stated she never got written up, or did anything to warrant this other than expressing concern for Spartz’ well-being, so she went to Ethics to put in a complaint.

Then, she notified Thomas that he would be named in this report. She said he got very angry, & said to her: “you’re just one person, you can’t make a difference, & you need to just walk away.”

Cynthia said he then did what any other principled conservative would do: he tried to bribe her with $5,000 in cash & wanted her to sign an NDA. Cynthia refused the cash & the NDA. Cynthia said Massie has cash that he calls “cow money”, which is untraceable & that he doesn’t report it.

Who knew, the guy who demands transparency in DC, did all he could to be the least transparent in this situation. Same goes for the guy who acted disgusted about Epstein survivors being silenced, yet he tried to bribe off a woman he mistreated in order to prevent this from seeing the light of day.

I think the DOJ should investigate this “cow money.”

It’s safe to say Massie is done, & this explains A LOT!

From the article, FWIW:

Senator Paul, one of the original grassroots “Tea Party” conservatives who organised against President Barack Obama and the Democratic congressional majority in 2010, has, like Massie, also bucked his party’s leadership.

“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.”

Rep. Thomas Massie Allegedly Bragged About Sex With Rep. Lauren Boebert Weeks After Wife Died, Ex Says

Quincy Thomas
Mon, May 18, 2026 at 2:19 PM EDT

A female accusing Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., of dating and sexually abusing her claims the Republican congressman admitted to having a sexual affair with another congresswoman, Rep. Lauren Boebert, within weeks after his wife’s death. This follows an interview conducted by conservative journalist Laura Loomer.

According to Loomer, she conducted a two-hour interview with Cynthia West, also known as @Cyntaxed007 on social media, and shared portions of the interview on her X account. The entire interview can be viewed on Rumble.

“I just finished my two hour long exclusive interview with Cynthia West, the woman who has accused Congressman Massie of emotional abuse and sexual impropriety,” wrote Loomer on X.

West claims that while she was in a relationship with Massie, the congressman told her he had sex with Boebert within weeks after his wife passed away. In addition, according to Loomer, Massie even boasted about the act. “She told me during the interview that while she was dating @RepThomasMassie, he told her that he had sex with @laurenboebert within weeks after his wife passing away,” wrote Loomer.

Loomer also added that Boebert recently campaigned for Massie in Kentucky for two days. “Now, we know why.”

West also claims that Massie’s district director, Christopher McCane, was a part of the congressman’s personal life. According to Loomer, Christopher allegedly manages the women that Congressman Massie dates and “regularly provides the Congressman with dating advice.”

West further claimed that Massie used a second phone while dating women after his wife’s death. Loomer added that Massie called the phone his “boner phone” and that if any woman came forward with the information, he would “throw the phone in the river.”

Representatives for Massie, Boebert, and McCane could not immediately be reached for comment.

The reports from the district are mostly positive and some big names in town supporting Massie

We’ll see how it goes tonight won’t we.

From the BBC article, FWIW:


Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the fringe right Oath Keepers who was convicted of sedition for his involvement in the 2021 attack on the US Capitol and pardoned by Trump, repeatedly showed up in a Massie campaign T-shirt. Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained notoriety for shooting three protesters during the Black Lives Matters demonstrations in Kenosha, Wisconsin, made an appearance in Florence.

Former congressman Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress in 2024 amid a congressional ethics investigation over claims of sexual misconduct, which he denied, interviewed Massie for his show on the right-wing One America News.

He asked the congressman if he was going to run for president in 2028. Massie demurred.

Oh, yeah. About that:

GuntherEagleman
🚨 BREAKING! Ed Gallrein is CRUSHING it in KY-04:

🟥 Ed Gallrein: 62% ← ALL-TIME HIGH

🟥 Thomas Massie: 39%

MAGA is showing up and the momentum is unstoppable. Trump’s endorsed challenger is surging as voters reject the RINO obstructionist.

Betting markets with the stats shown right now are usually right in the end on a political race. FWIW, most polls show Massie losing support and bleeding as well.

Whether the accusations brought forth by his former girlfriend are true, they have seemingly tipped the scale of this race away from Massie.

When the accusations first came out, I thought they were a typically bogus hit job. After seeing the evidence, it looks like she is (vindictively so), believable.

As you know, even before the accusations, I wanted him to lose. I still hope he does. He's a fraud. He's accomplished nothing. He tried to paint Trump as an Epstein linked pedophile. There's a quaint justice in Massie being hoisted on his own petard.

Here is a two minute video of Stephen Miller explaining how he called Massie and begged him to vote for the bill funding ICE/BP/Mass deportation, etc.

He says Massie told him to “Go pound sand”.
