Donald Trump lashes out at Republican congressman

President Donald Trump verbally attacked Rep. Thomas Massie Wednesday, ahead of campaign stops in Kentucky and Ohio. Trump posted that Massie would "go down as the WORST Republican Congressman," in congressional history, worse than Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

The clash stems from Massie's role in forcing the Department of Justice to release Jeffrey Epstein files and his vote against Trump's legislative priorities. Trump has spent months recruiting a primary challenger, former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, to unseat the seven-term lawmaker. Massie dismissed concerns about the intra-party feud, stating supporters back both Trump and his campaign promises.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied the president's visits targeted the May 19 Kentucky primary, claiming instead they focused on the economy and business owners.
