Thomas Massie is in a tough primary race. The voting is happening RIGHT NOW. Tonight will tell the tale of whether Kentucky voters want something new or they prefer to stick with Massie.
Trump endorsed Massie's opponent, of course, and that can make it difficult for a candidate to win a primary. As a result, Massie's campaign decided to try a quick sleight of hand to 'trick' voters.
Kentucky election day shenanigans;

Massie campaign sends out to KY 4 voters via text a 2022 Trump
statement making it look like the president supports Massie today where he clearly supports Gallrein
Text ends with "Paid for by Thomas Massie for Congress

Massie's campaign removed the date from a 2022 Trump endorsement and tried to pass it off as a current Trump endorsement. Yikes!

This was the original article.
Intentionally cutting out the date is a nice touch…

Very consistent with Massie’s entire approach. https://t.co/MFmcHQnr0T
All is fair in love and politics, but it's not entirely honest.
Scumbag behavior.

Massie’s entire existence is built on lying to people.
This is just more evidence. https://t.co/aYnGc6WUgI
But I’m told Massie is our most principled politician https://t.co/R1ZTpdTOgW

The ad says it is paid for by his campaign, so this wasn't a move by an outside group.

It's not the behavior of a confident campaign.
Why is Thomas Massie sending out last-minute text messages to Kentucky voters, using Trump’s old 2022 endorsement to make it look like he still has his support??

What a complete and total fraud.@RepThomasMassie https://t.co/5Xmb0adr1J
Disgraceful from @MassieforKY.

He goes out of his way to stick a finger in Trump’s eye, tries to derail the GOP agenda & sides with radical leftists.
That’s his record.
Then he dusts off an old statement to pretend none of it happened.
Massie lies. Send him home. https://t.co/j41EchsNfn
Either Massie should stand on his own two feet in his opposition to Trump or he should support the Trump agenda. He can't have it both ways.
Here's what @POTUS Donald Trump *actually* thinks of Thomas Massie:

It's time for voters to decide.
