Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie has lost the Republican House primary to President Donald Trump-backed Ed Gallrein on Tuesday.
Soon after the results became clear in what was the most expensive Congressional race in US history, Massie's ex Cynthia West put up a video on X, congratulating President Trump.
“Congratulations @realDonaldTrump on a huge victory in Kentucky! He continues delivering victories for #AmericaFirst and bringing strength back to the #WhiteHouse! Standing up for what’s right is always difficult, but America is worth fighting for!,” she said.
Trump's White House gives four-word reply: “Do not ever doubt President Trump and his political power,” Steven Cheung wrote, before bluntly adding “F**k around, find out.”
Massie has been a member of the Congress since 2012 and has been one of the most outspoken Republican critics of Trump.
Gallrein is a former Navy SEAL and ran on his military service and loyalty to the president, and is expected to beat Democrat Party's Melissa Strange in Kentucky's 4th Congressional district.
