Trump targets critic Rep. Thomas Massie in Republican primary election 
President Trump is out for political revenge. 
We're in a fight against the worst congressman in the history of our country. 
His name is Thomas Massie. 
Massie's a Republican, but has often criticized the president over the national debt, the Iran war, and the Epstein files. 
He's still in with the Epstein class. 
This is the Epstein administration. 
Today's Kentucky House primary now seen as a crucial test of the president's power. 
In an unusual move for a sitting defense secretary, Pete Hegseth also hitting the campaign trail for Massie's opponent, former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein. 
And too often Thomas Massie has acted like his job is to stand apart from the movement that President Trump leads instead of strengthening it. 
With a midterm election less than 6 months away, voters are also heading to the polls today for primaries in five other states.
