Trump Attacks Thomas Massie Over Iran Criticism; Calls for MAGA to Drop Him

Trump Slams Massie for Iran Stance, Urges MAGA to Ditch Him

Former President Donald Trump has publicly rebuked Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie for his criticism of the U.S. strike in Iran.

Trump's Criticism of Massie

Trump stated, "Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not MAGA...MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague!" He accuses Massie of being a "grandstander" and obstructing progress.

Massie's Concerns

Massie had expressed reservations about the constitutionality of the strike and the potential for escalating conflicts, particularly concerning Iran's nuclear ambitions. He said it was a "good week for the neocons in the military industrial complex who want war all the time."

Primary Challenge

Trump has thrown his support behind a primary challenger to Massie, pledging to campaign against him in Kentucky, emphasizing his opposition to "lazy, grandstanding, nonproductive politicians."

Massie's Position on Iran

Massie, together with Democrat Ro Khanna, previously introduced a resolution aimed at preventing U.S. military action in an Israel-Iran conflict without congressional consent.
