A Trump-endorsed challenger beat incumbent Thomas Massie in a Kentucky primary on Tuesday, the latest victory in the president’s efforts to oust the remaining dissenting voices in his Republican Party.

In the most expensive US House nomination battle ever, the 14-year congressman lost by 55 per cent to 45 per cent to military veteran Ed Gallrein, who was backed by Trump and some of his billionaire donors.

Massie had been one of Trump’s most prominent Republican critics in Congress, clashing with the president over the Iran war, the Epstein files and the landmark “Big Beautiful” fiscal legislation.

This is a damn tragedy. America has fallen. We’re a colony of Israel now

And by worst he voted with Trump about 85% of the time.

Sure but he was honest about Israel occupying our government and pushing for transparency on the Epstein files and I think these two issues are the root of a great many of our problems

You are correct. I did not mean for it to sound as black and white as I made it.
