Overview
- On Truth Social, the president mocked Rep. Thomas Massie’s recent wedding and wrote that Massie’s new wife would discover she is “stuck with a LOSER.”
- Massie announced on Nov. 3 that he married Carolyn Grace Moffa after a legal ceremony in Kentucky on Oct. 19 followed by a Christian celebration in Pennsylvania.
- The insult intensified a long-running feud tied to Massie’s breaks with party leadership, his push to release Jeffrey Epstein-related files, and Trump’s backing of primary challenger Ed Gallrein.
- Jenna Ellis and other right-leaning commentators denounced the remarks as inappropriate, with several conservatives saying the attack crossed a line.
- Fringe figures escalated online speculation about the 2024 death of Massie’s first wife, with activist Laura Loomer publicly demanding records and suggesting further investigation.
