Rep. Thomas Massie‘s campaign fired back at fellow Republican Rep. Erin Houchin after she publicly celebrated Massie’s defeat in the Kentucky primary. Houchin, a representative from Indiana, shared a photo of herself with President Donald Trump and wrote, “Happy to deliver the news to President @realDonaldTrump the results from the KY Primary and his defeat of Thomas Massie.”
According to Mediaite, she also congratulated Trump’s backed candidate, Ed Gallrein, writing “well done, @TeamTrump!” Massie’s campaign responded with a sharp one-liner that quickly gained over 15,000 likes: “How do his boots taste?” The comment was a direct jab at Houchin’s visible effort to get closer to Trump by celebrating Massie’s loss.
