Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) lost his bid for reelection in the Republican primary for Kentucky’s fourth congressional district. After his loss, Massie made a serious allegation against Fox News, claiming the network had banned him from appearing on their channel for 18 months. The claim has left many people asking what happened between Massie and the network.
Massie lost his seat after Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein defeated him in the primary. The congressman had fallen out with Donald Trump over a number of issues. Most notably, Massie co-sponsored a bill requiring the Department of Justice to release its files on deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a former friend of Trump’s.
