Trump launches PAC to oust sitting Republican congressman (Massie) after Iran strike criticism
MSN - Raw Story ^ | 6 22 | David Edwards

President Donald Trump's political operation has reportedly launched a new political action committee (PAC) to oust Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican.

On Sunday, Axios reported that Trump's team had created the Kentucky MAGA super PAC after Massie slammed Saturday's strike on Iran. Senior Trump advisers Tony Fabrizio and Chris LaCivita were expected to run the organization.

According to the report, the PAC was in the works before Massie's criticism. LaCivita said the group would spend "whatever it takes" to oust the congressman.

It was said to be Trump's first effort to unseat a sitting Republican.

"It was a good week for the neocons in the military-industrial complex who want war all the time," Massie said during a Sunday interview. "I wouldn't call my side of the MAGA base isolationists. We are exhausted. We are tired from all of these wars, and we're non-interventionists."

Trump later responded by lashing out at Massie on Truth Social.

"Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is," Trump wrote. "Massie should drop his fake act and start putting America First, but he doesn't know how to get there — he doesn't have a clue!"

Trump endorsed Massie in the 2024 election.

“”Can he expand it to Rand Paul?””

While he’s at it...get rid of the Turtle and Rand Paul. At least the Turtle is voluntarily leaving, as I recall.

I don’t think he has his BBB vote anyway. Give him the keys to the street.

Massie seems to be looking for a Wayne Morse moment.

Neither Massie nor Trump are unprincipled. Hopefully they can reconcile in the interests of the citizenry.

Then he’d lose his Senate majority, as it includes Thune, Paul, Lee, and Massie, I suspect a few more. The Kabuki math in the BBB is still $4 Trillion, plus the cost of all the Iran bombing, riots, crime, and infrastructure that, in many cases, isn’t needed. No Stadiums. Bail out the Small/Mid-size Farmers, NO MORE BIG AG. Both Walmart and Kroger are jacking the He** prices out of sight. With the recalls, shelves look bad. Pharma has the highest PAID CEO’S, ALONG WITH WALLY/KROGER.

Please get rid of child credit, they had every stimulus under Senile. Seniors had none. Plus welfare, Medicaid, and Special ED, which is mainly SSRI DRUGS.

There is a very good reason why libertarian leaning Republicans are not elected President. Ever.

The Masites would have said that we provoked Mexico to war in 1846.

Massie is not in the Senate. He is a Representative.

They are not vocally opposing the President. They can be reasoned with and do not always vote Democrat. Massie cosponsored a bill with Democrat (Progressive) Ro Khanna to prevent the President from taking military action against Iran's nuclear program. That is how bad Massie is. BTW, are you a Democrat too ?
