Donald Trump has publicly criticized Thomas Massie after the congressman reportedly referenced an endorsement Trump gave him years ago.
In a strongly worded statement, Trump dismissed the endorsement as outdated, claiming it was made “long before” he allegedly discovered what he described as Massie’s poor performance in Congress. Trump further labeled Massie as “the worst Congressman in the history of our country,” escalating tensions between the two political figures.
According to Trump, he no longer supports Massie and instead has endorsed Ed Gallrein, whom he described as a “true American patriot.” Trump accused Massie of knowingly using a past endorsement to mislead the public and demanded the congressman withdraw what he called a “fake statement.”
