Daily Wire ^ | 5/19/2026 | Jacob Wheeler

Posted on 05/19/2026 11:35:19 AM PDT by Republican Wildcat

Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican congressman locked in a heated primary battle with a Trump-backed challenger, is fundraising from anti-war, Muslim-American activists, and leftist-aligned PACs.

President Trump has called Massie, long a thorn in his side, the “worst Republican Congressman in history”, throwing the weight of his MAGA political machine behind his opponent to oust him.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4367527/posts (Massie) admitted in a recent interview that he once offered Republican leaders his vote IN EXCHANGE for a public expression of gratitude for his role in forcing the disclosure of the federal government’s Jeffrey Epstein files.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4367330/posts Massie’s vote was contingent on whether or not Speaker Mike Johnson would publicly praise him for releasing the Epstein files. “This is a literal quote from Thomas Massie’s interview with Politico. “Praise me publicly and I’ll vote the way you want.”

Lone Republican becomes only lawmaker to vote against crackdown on human organ trafficking (Massie)

A bill aimed at cracking down on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its practice of forced organ harvesting passed with overwhelming support on Wednesday – though one House lawmaker voted against it.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the lone Republican to oppose the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act, which passed 406-1.

“It’s just another example of us trying to stick our nose in another country’s business and write their laws,” Massie told Fox News Digital after the vote. “And at the end of the day, they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, and it’s just sort of a virtue signal over here.”

...

But his pushback is also notable now given his status as an open critic of Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and at times, of President Donald Trump.

The bill was introduced by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., and would authorize the Secretary of State to deny U.S. passports and visitor visas to people involved in organ trafficking circles.

It would also call for sanctions on entities and individuals found to have participated in the gruesome illicit industry.

‘Mofo...in the White House’: Jasmine Crockett attacks Trump, praises Massie in anti-Iran strike rant
‘There’s only one Republican that I know I can count on for sure doing the right thing,’ Rep Crockett says in a new video

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, launched another tirade against President Donald Trump over the weekend, while offering rare praise for one of her House GOP colleagues who is currently at odds with the commander in chief.

The Democratic firebrand took to Instagram Live late Saturday to criticize Trump’s strikes on Iran, while giving a “shout out” to Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., over his bipartisan resolution to rein in the president’s ability to conduct such operations.

“So long story short, for those of you that are unaware, the mofo that resides in the White House has unilaterally, in my estimation, declared war,” Crockett said in the video.

Massie bucks GOP leadership again on Adam Schiff censure vote, draws conservative ire

Conservatives are conveying anger with northern Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie over his vote to oppose a resolution censuring California Rep. Adam Schiff, a favorite boogeyman of Republicans. Massie joined 19 other House Republicans in defecting from party leadership from condemning Schiff for championing the investigatory onslaught against former President Donald Trump. Combined with unanimous Democratic opposition, the measure failed, surprising even Schiff. The libertarian-leaning Massie claimed the resolution was unconstitutional for a clause that instructed Schiff should be fined $16 million if the House Ethics Committee found he “lied, made representations and abused sensitive information.” “Allowing a majority of Congress to take $16 million (92 years of pay) from any member of Congress is shortsighted,” Massie tweeted again of the Wednesday evening vote. “Can we not imagine a time when this precedent would be used against conservatives? Fortunately it failed.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida freshman, said Massie was “making misrepresentations about the bill” she authored. A band of pro-Trump political figures went even further, casting doubts about Massie’s reasoning and calling for his defeat. Massie has endorsed Trump rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. “Not only is he being duplicitous, partisan and moronic about his choice – he’s straight up lying about the Constitution to achieve his political end goals. Sick,” wrote Raheem Kassam, a British political activist and editor in chief of The National Pulse.

Great observation. My opinion of Massie has dropped like a one ton lead weight after learning about these endorsements and Massie’s lack of response to them.

None of these people would care about Massie if Trump didn't go on a crusade against a sitting GOP congressman because he got his ego bruised. They only see Massie as a wedge because it gets under Trump's skin. (Because no way would they vote for Massie in the general over another Dem.)

Trump certainly doesn't spend nearly as much invective against amnesty pushers like Maria Salazar that he does against Massie, I'll tell you that much.

Mazsie’s stance on OBBB, SAVE, and Iran have all been problematic on close votes. This is about more than ego.
