Trump Claims Rep. Thomas Massie's New Wife Turned Him 'Liberal,' Endorses Challenger in Kentucky Primary

Trump endorses Ed Gallrein against Rep. Thomas Massie, citing Massie's disloyalty and opposition to Trump-backed policies, with polls showing Massie has less than 8% chance to win.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump attacked Rep. Thomas Massie over his recent remarriage and endorsed Ed Gallrein, challenger and farmer-war-hero, despite an incorrect accusation.

  • After Massie's October remarriage, he said last November that he and others 'laughed it off' Trump's earlier attacks on his late wife, calling them 'beyond the pale.
