00:02President Trump took his feud with Republican Congressman Thomas Massey straight into Massey's
00:07own backyard Wednesday, campaigning in northern Kentucky and openly trying to defeat him.
00:13At a packaging company in Hebron, Trump blasted the six-term congressman, calling him a loser,
00:19disloyal, and a disaster, accusing him of opposing just about everything.
00:24He is the worst person. His name is, what the hell, how did he ever end up in Kentucky?
00:31His name is Thomas Massey.
00:35No, Massey voted against tax cuts for seniors. He voted against tax cuts for overtime workers.
00:42And he voted against tax cuts for earners, tip earners.
00:47Trump appeared on stage with the man he's backing in the upcoming Republican primary,
00:52former Navy SEAL and farmer Ed Galrine, praising him as the candidate he wants representing
00:57Kentucky's 4th District. The president has made unseating Massey a priority, calling him, quote,
01:04the worst Republican congressman in history, in a post on Truth Social ahead of the visit,
01:09and predicting Massey will lose his upcoming primary. But Massey is not backing down. In an
01:15interview with ABC News, the Kentucky Republican argued, voters in his district are already
01:20questioning the economic cost of the war with Iran. Quote, the first few days the war was popular,
01:26but then as we saw gasoline and diesel prices go up, people started to talk about, you know,
01:32what are the goals? How long is this going to go on? The primary fight is quickly becoming one of
01:37the most expensive house races in the country. Outside groups aligned with Trump have already poured
01:42more than $5 million into the race, trying to boost Galrine and defeat the libertarian-leaning
01:48congressmen. The war of words between Trump and Massey spilled across social media. After Trump
01:53attacked him online, Massey fired back, saying, quote, I predict President DJT will begrudgingly
02:00sign my beautiful Epstein Files Transparency Act, causing beleaguered princes, ambassadors,
02:06and CEOs around the world to be arrested or resign in total shame.
