Donald Trump took another prize in his bloody revenge tour against wayward Republicans on Tuesday as Rep. Thomas Massie, one of his few remaining GOP critics left in office and a leader in the push to release the Epstein files, was ousted in a primary contest in Kentucky.
Massie, like Sen. Bill Cassidy before him, went down in a bruising intra-party fight that saw an ally of Trump boosted to victory with the president’s emphatic endorsement and support from the broader pro-Trump establishment. Cassidy’s crime — having voted to convict Trump in 2021 over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
