Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie turned a Sunday morning Truth Social tirade from Donald Trump into a fundraising pitch, taunting the president for 'losing sleep' and accusing AIPAC of dumping a further £2.3 million ($3 million) into his primary race over a single weekend out of sheer panic.
Appearing on ABC's 'This Week' on 17 May 2026, the eight-term Republican congressman fired back at a string of overnight Truth Social attacks from Trump, who called him 'the Worst Republican Congressman in History' and told Kentucky voters to 'vote the bum out.' Massie argued the relentless attacks from the White House and the pro-Israel lobby were proof that his opponent, Trump-backed former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, had failed to pull ahead.
