On Tuesday night, Republican Representative Thomas Massie suffered a humiliating defeat to Republican challenger Ed Gallrein in the Kentucky US House 4 Primary. It appears the incumbent Massie will lose by almost 10 points. On CNN, Republican commentator Scott Jennings weighed in on the trouncing. Jennings says Massie wasn’t MAGA, and voters resented him fighting against President Donald Trump’s America-first agenda.
Here’s Jennings with his Massie primary post-mortem. (WATCH)

Trump voters are simply tired of anti-MAGA RINOs who work hand-in-hand with Democrats.
Later on CNN NewsNight, Jennings reiterated some of his assessment for Massie’s loss while highlighting his sore loser jab at Ed Gallrein. (READ)
@ScottJenningsKY doesn’t hold back on Thomas Massie’s way out the door: “Despicable, anti-Semitic, nasty, gutter politics… it needs to be condemned.”
President Trump didn’t just beat Thomas Massie.
He made an example out of him.
Then Massie ends his career with this line about Ed Gallrein: “I had to find him in Tel Aviv.”
Here’s Jennings. (WATCH)

Massie campaign was getting funded by big shot democrat party donors for crying out loud

Massie indeed had a lot of support, but it was mostly from the Democrats.
Posters cheekily admit that’s a clear sign that Massie’s reelection hopes deserved to go down in flames.
Can’t believe getting endorsed by Ro Khanna, Cenk Uygur, and the New York Times didn’t clinch the Republican primary victory for Massie. I just don’t know what to believe anymore

Ro Khanna, Cenk Uygur, the NYT… I haven’t seen so much political firepower collected in one place since Brat Summer™️

Endorsed by a Krassendouche didn't help either... 😆 pic.twitter.com/mdshpEYDnP

Massie might as well have had a ‘D’ after his name.
Oh, there’s more.
Dont forget Code Pink...

He had both Joys backing him? Oh, man.
Well, Massie will have plenty of time on his hands to get acquainted with some of his biggest Democrat supporters… on cable TV.
The man is a weirdo. He’ll have a show on CNN soon enough.

Sadly, this is only partially correct. Thomas Massie will be offered a lucrative position as a contributor on a far left outlet like CNN or MSNBC. There’s nothing the legacy media loves more than giving a Republican airtime to bash fellow Republicans.

Undoubtedly, he’ll probably soon be rubbing shoulders on cable ‘news’ programs with fellow pre-Trump ‘Republican’ luminaries like Ana Navarro, Michael Steele, and Joe Scarborough.
