Has Trump met his match in Thomas Massie?


Listen Later

Donald Trump has had it with Thomas Massie and his silly principles. The Kentuckian’s latest violations include voting against the One, Big, Beautiful Bill and calling Trump’s unilateral decision to order a military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites “unconstitutional.”

A pro-Trump super PAC is going after the rogue Republican congressman on behalf of the president. Kentucky MAGA recently released a hard-hitting attack ad filled with lies.

I talked to Massie about the ad, and he pointed out the irony that the Senate stripped some of the provisions Massie is falsely accused of opposing—yet Trump still supports it. Massie also told me he’s seen a significant uptick in support, including fundraising. He also told me why he thinks he’ll win this battle.

The match is on!
