Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital on Thursday morning that he had hauled in $261,000 in campaign donations in recent days since President Donald Trump targeted him for ouster for opposing a government-funding measure.
"In less than three days, I’ve received $261,000 through 3,203 individual donations, without sending an email, a text, or a phone call. It’s a fundraising record for me and it’s boosted my current cash on hand north of $1.1 million," Massie said in a statement.
After Trump took a swing at Massie in a Truth Social post on Monday night, the congressman responded in a tweet on Tuesday by soliciting campaign donations.
"I’ve drawn opponents in my last three primaries who knew they couldn’t run to the right of me, so they ran to the Trump of me," Massie said in his statement to Fox News Digital.
"Overwhelmingly, in each instance, voters in Kentucky rejected them because I have a decade of consistently putting America and my constituents first. None of my opponents received more than 20% of the vote, but that’s because we ran excellent campaigns with the resources needed to win. For instance, my allies and I spent $2,000,000 in my 2020 primary when Trump attacked me for opposing the COVID bailouts. That’s why I’m taking this threat seriously and asking for grassroots donations on X," Massie noted.

Massie is one of very few actual non-grifting conservatives in the Whorehouse.
We need to celebrate March as Thomas Massie Month because five years ago this month he said a lonely No to the first two trillion dollars in COVID spending.
It would generate inflation in the end inflation we have all felt in recent years.
I feel no need to trash President Trump he’s gotten my vote but Congressman Massie was right and still is right.
Massie is a narcissist who refuses to ever team. He is one of those small minded people who thinks only he way can be right and if he can’t get his way he will ruin everyone else’s.
Hate people like that at work who refuse to ever get on board with anything because they think only their way can be right.
>> ... refuse to ever get on board with anything because they think only their way can be right.
Their world view begins and ends at themselves. Not a recipe for success.
I don’t know much about Massie but so far I haven’t seen a rational case made for him in this.
Massie is a Prick. Continuing to cast meaningless principle votes is worse than a libtard vote. At least liberals are not couching themselves as some “principled conservative”. Massive is a giant pricktard.
I agree with your assessment of Massie. I’m sure he has lots of supporters here.
A person who would hide behind their principles to let a greater evil succeed is not a man of principles, nor one who is uselful.
A direct question for you, “RandFan”:
Of which Rand are you a Fan?
Ayn Rand?
or Rand Paul?
Shouldn’t be too hard to candidly answer that legitimate question...
All from Democrats.
>> A person who would hide behind their principles to let a greater evil succeed is not a man of principles
TRUTH
Rand Paul
Thank you for your forthright answer.
I’m relieved to hear it.
“Massie reveals how much campaign cash he’s hauled in since Trump targeted him for ouster: ‘Fundraising record’”
Trump does quite well when outspent. Going to be interesting next year if a credible opponent files against him.
For the most part, I trust Massie. However, he did say something that gave more support for immigration than I liked.
It’s a business.
A completely fact-free argument.
You know who just got on board with the Continuing Resolution to fund Fed.gov? Chuck Schumer
So you and Chuck are in good company together.
