Two key advisers to Donald Trump have launched a " super PAC " (political action committee) to unseat Rep. Thomas Massie , a Kentucky Republican who criticized the US President over the strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran, and previously, opposed the MAGA leader's "big, beautiful bill."
The organization, named " Kentucky MAGA ," will be run by Trump's senior political advisers, Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio.
"The PAC would spend 'whatever it takes' to defeat Massie (in the May 2026 primary)," LaCivita told Axios, which was the first to report that the super PAC is being formed.
Another Trump aide told the website that plans for taking on Massie were in the works before the Congressman decided to call the attack on Iran "unconstitutional."
Trump lashes out at Massie for remarks on ' Operation Midnight Hammer '
Earlier, Trump called his fellow Republican Massie a "loser" and demanded that MAGA "drop" the Kentucky representative after the latter denounced Operation Midnight Hammer - the US air strikes in Iran - as "unconstitutional."
"MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague! The good news is that we will have a wonderful American Patriot running against him in the Republican Primary, and I’ll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard. MAGA is not about lazy, grandstanding, nonproductive politicians, of which Thomas Massie is definitely one," the US President wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him. He is a negative force who almost always Votes ‘NO,’ no matter how good something may be. He’s a simple minded ‘grandstander’ who thinks it’s good politics for Iran to have the highest level Nuclear weapon, while at the same time yelling ‘DEATH TO AMERICA’ at every chance they get," he added.
