Next week, the people of the 4th Congressional District of Kentucky have a chance to punt that useless poser Thomas Massie through the goalposts of failure. Let’s hope they do. This ridiculous clown was merely a tiresome curiosity when the Republicans had a decent margin in the House, but then, he found himself with a little bit of heat because of the current small margin. And he made the best of it, through shameless lies and cringe-worthy self-promotion, going from marginal mediocrity to an active abscess on the buttocks of the party. It’s time to lance that boil.
Libertarians are useless at best, and it’s worse when they are active co-conspirators with the Democrats. There’s this idea that libertarians are actually Republicans who simply like dope, but that’s not so. They’re like that mythical creature we used to hear about in the ‘90s, the fiscally conservative but socially liberal voter who inevitably voted however the Democrats wanted. And that’s what Massie does, though he tries to cloak it in the garments of principle. It’s unclear whether he’s ever actually passed any legislation of his own, though he’s always eager to propose bills; he’s unable to get anyone to join him. That’s because everybody hates him. That’s because he’s a jerk.
Before his wife sadly died young a couple of years ago, he was content to be a fringe weirdo with bad hair and no heat. Once she tragically passed away, he visited a hairstylist, married a leftist staffer 20 years his junior, and decided he needed to broaden his horizons, which meant helping the Democrats and shafting the GOP more openly than before. And perhaps he became a player, too, at least according to a woman who said he tried to pay her 60 grand to shut up about their kinky affair. I don’t know if that is true or not, and I kind of doubt it for several reasons including that the idea of a schlub like Thomas Massie scoring is so inherently unbelievable. Still, the story is out there. The primary voters of the Kentucky 4th can decide whether this current scandal matters, but there are plenty of reasons to dump this loser besides unproven claims about his inability to satisfy a woman.
You know, like being the ringmaster for the whole Epstein circus.
The Epstein affair, which rapidly became an idiotic moral panic and an IQ test that far too many people failed, was this guy’s claim to fame. Suddenly, this nobody was somebody, appearing on all the regime shows and getting a bunch of press because of his courageous and principled stand. Just kidding. Principles had nothing to do with it. It was his willingness to attack fellow Republicans over the shakiest of shaky allegations. He didn’t care who he hurt with his lies. You’ll notice above that I carefully set forth that the claims against Massie himself are unproven and merely allegations. That’s because I’m not a scumbag who makes unqualified accusations against people when I don’t have proof that I find compelling. But Massie had no such compunctions. He was perfectly willing to go out and essentially argue that Donald Trump was the head of a pervert ring and claim that a whole bunch of other people were part of it, and that he had that information, and he was going to see the truth come out. And where is this truth? Nowhere. Nada. A big nothing. He didn’t expose anyone because it was all crap. It was all a lie. And he didn’t care.
And he still doesn’t care that he lies. Donald Trump wants to get rid of this dork and has endorsed Ed Gallrein in the primary. I’ve had a chance to interview Ed, and he’s a solid guy, a straightforward and strait-laced conservative who loves his country. Massie talks about how he’s principled and patriotic – he went on Tucker, who has gone insane, and Tucker claimed that this primary election will show whether a candidate who loves America can win. And it will, but not the way Tucker meant. Ed was a Navy SEAL captain, and he showed his love for America by fighting for it rather than posing for the cameras like Massie did back when the Epstein thing was useful and the regime media still paid attention to him.
He’s claiming Ed Gallrein supports Israel, and that’s bad, apparently because the Jews are responsible for Massie’s many failures. In any case, I’m not sure why he’s trying to make us support his opponent more with his claims that Ed will back our ally in the Middle East, but even a bad strategy is a kind of strategy. He also, hilariously, claims that Ed is some sort of trans-loving guy because one of Ed’s donors supposedly is. Here’s a shock. Brace yourself. You’re not going to believe this. That donor is Jewish.
But hey, Massie’s got his supporters. Ro Khanna is all for him. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez digs him. Jasmine Crockett backs him. And why not? He carries their water for them. He’s organ grinder Hakeem Jeffries’s little dancing monkey for whatever narrative they’re pushing that day. He’s never there when we need him. He wasn’t there for defeating our enemies, or sealing the borders, or the Big Beautiful Bill. He would’ve let your taxes go up. He would’ve kept people who live off tips paying taxes on them, and he would’ve told you it's because of his rigorous dedication to whatever he’s dedicated to. That seems to change as his political needs change. But he’s consistent about one thing: his precious principles never help the Republicans, though he desperately wants to remain in the Republican Party so he has a chance of winning in his bright-red district.
But the truth is coming out. Thomas Massie is a Democrat simp posing as a principled rebel. Massie’s only principle is whatever benefits Thomas Massie at any given moment. He’s annoying, he’s a buffoon, and he’s grossly dishonest – I had an encounter with him on X over something a few months ago, and I don’t even remember what it was; I just remember how disingenuous he was. And now his constituents are learning the truth. Once upon a time, he was kind of amusing. But no one’s amused anymore. He needs to go.
And he should go next Tuesday. It will probably happen. The polls are all over the place, but Massie’s support is clustered among the young and dumb, who tend not to vote. Maybe it’s the pot that libertarians love. Maybe they’re just lazy. Maybe they’re afraid of the Jews. Who knows? But older, conservative patriots have had it up to here with Massie’s antics. Those are the folks who vote, and those are the folks who are going to support a proven patriot like Ed over a posturing political peacock like Massie.
Now, some folks question whether the GOP should spend money and effort on a Republican primary in a ruby-red district. Does this distract from taking the fight to the Democrats? No, not at all. Maintaining party discipline is absolutely part of what we must do, and this guy has not backed the party. He has backed himself at our expense, so we must spend time and effort taking him out. It is important to maintain good order and discipline, as military men like Ed Gallrein and I understand. It is not a distraction to deal with selfish creeps who hurt the organization. That is part of the job. So, it is good that Donald Trump is focusing on this race. It is good that we are spending money to replace a putz with a patriot. And it’s going to be great when Thomas Massie gets punted into political oblivion.
I look forward to his future podcast, “The Principled Loser Report with Thomas Massie.”
