Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump for attacking Rep. Thomas Massie and his wife, while Trump backed Massie’s primary challenger, Ed Gallrein. Massie connected the criticism to his effort to obtain the release of the Epstein files.
Trump criticized Massie and his wife on Truth Social and endorsed Republican challenger Ed Gallrein, calling Massie disloyal and saying he should lose. Greene responded that Trump treats supporters poorly, defended Massie’s voting record, and warned that Republican losses in deep-red districts should concern him.
