Trump is now protecting the very swamp he ran for president promising to drain. @RepThomasMassie, the Congressman most committed to actually draining it, is the one Trump is the most determined to get rid of. To actually make America great again, Massie must remain in Congress.
🚨 Crowd Turns on Ed Gallrein (Thomas Massie's Opponent) at Campaign Event 🚨
Ed Gallrein has been sending out text messages inviting the public to events in a desperate bid to rehab his image as a candidate willing to engage with voters. It's not working. We now have a second video from one of these events and several members of the crowd turn on him. No wonder he no-showed so many early events and refuses to share a stage with Thomas Massie. The more people actually see him, the more they wonder if he was ever meant to win this race.
In the video, a voter directly asks why he won't debate Massie. Gallrein's response? He holds up a Norman Rockwell painting and insists he's "debating Thomas Massie right now" — even though Massie isn't in the room. More audience members pile on with remarks like: "I didn't come here to see your Letterman jacket."
When a campaign staffer tries to defuse the situation by claiming Gallrein had answered the question, several people fire back that he hasn't said anything substantive — just waved around props while dodging policy questions.
Normally at campaign events, if someone challenges a candidate, parts of the crowd rush to defend them. Here? Multiple people joined in the pushback. That's a massive red flag.
I've been told by multiple sources that the campaign is now turning away anyone who looks under 60 at the door — terrified they might actually ask Ed a tough question.
