Overview

  • Trump used Truth Social to accuse Massie of turning "liberal" because of his new wife, calling the Kentucky Republican disloyal and "a Complete and Total Disaster."
  • Trump reaffirmed his endorsement of retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein to challenge Massie, praising him as a "high quality" candidate ahead of the May 19 GOP primary.
  • Massie countered that his wife, Carolyn Moffa, voted for Trump three times and encouraged his push on Epstein-related disclosures, citing the bipartisan law that forced additional DOJ releases.
  • Reporters and critics disputed Trump’s description of Moffa as a "Radical Left flamethrower," noting her prior work as a policy staffer for Sen. Rand Paul.
  • Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly rebuked Trump’s attack and chastised House Republicans for staying silent, highlighting GOP rifts over loyalty, foreign aid and the Epstein files effort.
