President Donald Trump criticized Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., labeling him as “the worst Republican Congressman” in a post on Monday night on Truth Social. Trump mentioned that he is actively seeking a candidate to challenge Massie in the upcoming election.

In the post, Trump stated, “Thomas Massie, the worst Republican Congressman, and an almost guaranteed NO VOTE each and every time, is an Embarrassment to Kentucky. He’s lazy, slow moving, and totally disingenuous – A real loser! Never has anything positive to add. Looking for someone good to run against this guy, someone I can Endorse and vigorously campaign for!”

The post by the president included a video by MAGA KY calling for the removal of Massie from office. The voiceover in the video declares, “Let’s fire Thomas Massie.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Massie for a response but did not receive one at the time of publication.

Massie, known for being a fiscal hawk, voted against the Trump-backed One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Trump has been openly critical of Massie, stating in a Truth Social post last month that Massie “is not MAGA” and announcing plans to support a candidate running against him in the Republican Primary.

Billionaire business magnate Elon Musk has indicated his support for Massie’s re-election campaign by offering to donate.
