President Donald Trump slammed Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., calling the lawmaker “the worst Republican Congressman” in a Monday night Truth Social post, while noting that he is seeking a challenger he can support against the incumbent lawmaker.
“Thomas Massie, the worst Republican Congressman, and an almost guaranteed NO VOTE each and every time, is an Embarrassment to Kentucky. He’s lazy, slow moving, and totally disingenuous – A real loser! Never has anything positive to add. Looking for someone good to run against this guy, someone I can Endorse and vigorously campaign for!” Trump declared in the post.
The president’s post linked to a video by MAGA KY targeting the congressman for ouster. “Let’s fire Thomas Massie,” the voiceover declares.

Trump has been a vociferous critic of the congressman.
In a Truth Social post last month, the president asserted that Massie “is not MAGA,” and declared, “we will have a wonderful American Patriot running against him in the Republican Primary, and I’ll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard.”
