Trump calls for GOP challenger to Rep. Boebert as she campaigns with Massie in Kentucky
The Hill ^ | 05/16/26 9:18 PM ET | by Sophie Brams

President Trump threatened to pull his endorsement of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Saturday, as she campaigned with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) ahead of a tough reelection fight.

Trump railed against Boebert in a pair of back-to-back posts on Truth Social, calling her “weak-minded” and asking if there was “anyone interested” in challenging her in the GOP primary for Colorado’s 4th congressional district.

“Boebert is campaigning for the Worst ‘Republican’ Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight!” Trump wrote in one post.

“Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative,” he said.

Boebert opted to run in the 4th District in 2024, hoping to avoid an expensive and crowded House race taking shape in her previous seat. The seat, which covers the easternmost part of the state, is rated solidly Republican by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

The filing deadline for Boebert’s seat was in March, and information from the Colorado Secretary of State’s office indicates she is running unopposed in the June 30 GOP primary.

Boebert, a hardline conservative, has historically been one of Trump’s strongest supporters in Congress, but their relationship has experienced some friction in recent months.

This is crazy. I suppose Boebert will be the next MTG/Massie Rep. that needs to be taken out?

Who's rooting for Massie on Tuesday? Good to see has a few friends in the House.

Is she the one who was caught riding dirty with some guy in a DC movie theater?

She is in a weak position on Colorado and any challenger can take her out. I had high hopes for her, but hitching her wagon to Massie is a yuge mistake.

May the Trump Effect be upon them as it was on that Cassidy guy in Looziana.

Boebert isn’t going anywhere this year, but Trump put her on notice.

You surely mean Trump threatening and holding personal grudges is a huge mistake?

“ Turns out Randy Fine was right: Massie is indeed being funded by a Democrat Iranian billionaire.

There is a PAC called Freedom Works that’s run by former Rand Paul staffers.

They have given millions to Massie.

Where does that money come from?

It comes from Joe Kiani, fbe Iranian-born Masimo CEO.

This is a man who hosted Biden at his Santa Ynez ranch.

So Massie is being funded not just by the Gates family, but also an Iranian Democrat mega donor.

Enemies of America sure seem to love Massie.”

Yup. Good judgment and self control are not at the top of her somewhat limited skill set list but she is fun to watch in action

I would say the MTG inexplicably took herself out in one of the more public and totally unnecessary self inflicted political implosions in recent political history.

I don't know if she imploded because of her alliance with Code Pink or whether she pivoted to Code Pink as an ally to try to make money on the anti- Trump media circuit but the last two years she has been very unstable.

Massie has intentionally picked fights with Trump and undermined the Republicans and sided with the Democrats on just about every critical issue. He is kind of a Jake Flake style character and Kentucky can do better

It’s all lies. Massie votes against the spending and the wars all the time not for the reasons they cite

It’s dirty lies as usual, being spread by that poster

Thanks for posting a fine comparison there, aMorePerfectUnion.

Freepers should check out today's Trump posts on Truth Social today: LauraLoomer has lowered the boom on Massie regarding his questionable personal life.

We've got plenty of grandstanders in Kentucky trying to thwart President Trump's agenda.  Time to put an end to that...

And by the way, the conservative/capitalism champion Ayn Rand — who I assume Randy Paul was named after — is NOT a libertarian and she made that point abundantly clear when she lived.

One more point.  Senator Randy Paul should quit the Senate and go back to being an opthamologist.  And his first surgery should be on himself: it's obvious the man can't see straight :-)  

Though I do appreciate his work to take down Doctor Fauci.
