President Trump’s feud with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is showing no signs of abating as the president seeks to oust the GOP congressman for his history of regularly breaking with the administration.
Massie recently opposed the administration by denouncing its strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and refusing to support the president’s legislative agenda, leading Trump’s political operation to launch a targeted campaign against Massie.
On Friday, a Trump-aligned super PAC, led by the president’s co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita, rolled out its first ad as part of a $1 million ad buy targeting Massie. The 30-second ad — titled “What happened to Thomas Massie?” — hit the GOP congressman over his opposition to Trump-supported legislation to fund border security and cut taxes. It also ties him to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
But Massie isn’t backing down.
He hit back in a post on the social platform X, appearing to refer to measures in Trump’s legislative agenda that the Senate parliamentarian opposed, including blocking Medicaid funds to be used for gender-affirming care.
“The BBB now allows funding sex changes for minors!” Massie said, referring to what Trump calls the “big, beautiful bill.” “This ad slams me for voting against the BBB, but the Senate just stripped the ‘ban on sex changes for minors’ from the BBB. By the ads’ twisted logic, those who support the Senate’s edits now support sex changes for minors.”

>> I support Massie 100%
So you oppose Trump 100%.
It’s not wise to oppose President Trump publicly. This little ners id crap on President Trump’s shoe.
>>”The Dems don’t waste $$$ running against Massie in the General”
Why would they? He’s doing their work for them.
VERY interesting, indeed!
No wonder his old man called him Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ what are you doing.
“””This is epic needless to say I support Massie 100% and hope some Freepers do too. “””
I expect all your fellow democrats also approve of Massie and Kid Rand.
He’s an idiot.
He knows the Senate is doing no such thing.
Thune will have to ignore the parliamentarian eventually. I’m sure Trump will “convince” him.
Massie maintains his opposition to the BBB and says he has the Trump antibodies. 😉
I don’t know who would possibly run in the 4th district.
Massie is not worth Trump’s finger. This Jeffersonian loudmouth meeds to have a true Jacksonian take his seat.
What is it with Kentucky republicans? All they elect are traitorous RINOs!
As for the bill, it's dead. Massie just recognized that sooner. The Senate might pass something but that will be too far removed from the House version to get the same votes.
The important thing to remember is there are lots of Trump haters out there, but Massie isn't one of them.
Thom Tillis of NC is showing yellow at the 12th hour.
Lol...come and take it.
If Massie FITS THRE 4TH LIKE A LEATHER GLOVE, then the 4th has WAY TOO MANY WEIRD DUMB PEOPLE!
BINGO!!! He’s nothing but a RINO at best!
Thom Tillis is a TOTAL RINO ASS!
Massie is the last real Constitutionalist in Washington DC.
********
He’s holding everything good in the bill (tax cuts, regulatory relief, and more) hostage to the perfect (his spending cuts) when the perfect doesn’t have the votes. If we end-up losing Trump’s expiring tax relief, it’ll be his fault.
