Thomas Massie Says Fox News Kept Him Off Air for 18 Months

Thomas Massie faced a Kentucky Republican primary challenge from Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, alongside reports of allegations involving Massie before the primary. Center outlets connect allegations about Massie to the primary and, in post-loss stories, present his claim about Fox News alongside the network’s response. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Trump’s effort to defeat Massie; some frame the allegations as an attempt to derail him, while others criticize his campaign’s use of an old Trump endorsement.
