Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) didn’t lose Tuesday — we lost him at least a year ago, when he deviated from being a principled conservative firebrand and started trafficking in conspiracy theories.Massie and his supporters claim he was ousted because he didn’t support Israel, but Massie never supported Israel in his entire high-approval 14-year tenure. Notably, just days after the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre, Massie was one of two Republicans (the other was former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene) who voted against an emergency aid package to fund Israel’s defense systems like Iron Dome.Political pundits claim he was ousted because he voted against President Donald Trump’s agenda. The reality is Massie was always a gadfly who frequently clashed with Trump and even endorsed his long-shot primary challenger, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in the 2024 election. Despite Trump’s chronic discontent, Massie won all of his election cycles, including a 2024 primary in which he won 76% of the Republican vote and an unopposed general election.

Massie’s principled stand against foreign aid and willingness to question Trump’s actions were always fine and often welcomed by me and all of his supporters, which is why he won all seven of his previous election cycles in landslides.
