Pro-Trump Super PAC Launches $1M Attack Ads Against Rep. Massie

A pro-Trump super PAC called MAGA Kentucky has launched a $1 million ad campaign attacking Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., for his opposition to President Donald Trump's key policy bill, known as the "Big, Beautiful Bill," and his criticism of military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. The ads accuse Massie of siding with Democrats and radical left figures, highlighting his votes against tax cuts and a ban on sex changes for minors, framing him as out of step with the MAGA agenda. Massie has pushed back, arguing that the ad misrepresents his position, noting Senate actions that removed provisions related to gender-affirming care funding from the bill. MAGA Kentucky, led by Trump advisers Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio, aims to unseat Massie by highlighting his opposition to Trump's domestic and foreign policies, with ads airing in key Kentucky and Cincinnati markets. President Trump himself has publicly criticized Massie on social media, calling him a negative force within the party and vowing to campaign against him in the Republican primary. This campaign underscores Trump's continued influence within the GOP and his efforts to consolidate support by targeting dissenting Republicans ahead of upcoming elections.
