Exclusive -- Trump-Endorsed Massie Challenger Ed Gallrein: Massie 'Not a Statesman'
Breitbart ^ | 25 Oct 2025 | Hannah Knudsen

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is “not a statesman,” Massie challenger Ed Gallrein — a generational farmer who served as a Navy SEAL — said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.

Gallrein, whom Trump endorsed, explained that Massie is “not a statesman for Kentucky” but a “career politician.”

“So with respect to that, at a high level, you’ve got to bring solutions at the table. Have the integrity and the credibility to advance those. He cannot do it,” he said.

Ultimately, Gallrein said Massie’s votes actively “align and actually leverage the adversary party against us and the agenda that we put forward to move America forward.”

He also pointed out that President Donald Trump only has a limited time to implement his agenda.

“I’m inspired by what he’s doing, and that if we don’t take advantage of this opportunity, history is going to punish us” if voters continue to choose a “roadblock like a career politician Massie has brought” when “Kentucky 4 overwhelmingly voted for the change after the disastrous Biden administration,” Gallrein said.

“The President has a mountain to climb, to overcome. He’s got a huge challenge. It’s all hands on deck. And it’s fine to come with another alternative solution, but come with a solution, not with a problem to be a roadblock. And clearly, you know, the people of Kentucky 4 are going to have a choice. You want a native Kentuckian who’s a generational farmer, genuinely, who is a career Navy SEAL officer, Army Ranger qualified, to go be your champion in Washington, who is not a career politician?” he asked.

“Or do you want a career politician that puts self above service, as opposed to me, who has always put service above self,” Gallrein stated, adding, “It is really a pretty straightforward question.”

Massie owned coal mines in WV and the people there didn’t like him for his nasty practices.

” look how fast President Trump is moving.” By this time in the Biden administration over a thousand people were arrested. How many obvious criminals who lied to congress are now in jail?

Massie will win reelection. Trump is also campaigning for Lindsey Graham. You gonna support Lindsey Graham too just because Trump tells you to?

The difference is that I and President recognize when a guy voted with the President that AMERICA put in office, he’s at least serving his constituents (unlike Massie’s dumb ass). He ain’t winning ####.
