Well now… isn’t this something.
Thomas Massie spent money on an ad trying to convince everybody that Ed Gallrein left the Republican Party because he was disgusted with President Trump.
Honey… that story sounds good right up until the moment somebody actually looks at the facts.
Because according to Ed Gallrein’s own campaign, the reason he briefly switched to Independent had nothing to do with President Trump at all.
It ALL had to do with Thomas Massie.
Ed’s spokesperson, Alexandra Wilkes, told the Courier Journal plainly:
"Ed briefly changed registration out of frustration with the broken system Congressman Massie created in his district, which hurt the Republican Party, and he is proud to stand with President Trump and true conservative Republicans."
Now let’s talk about that word "brief," since some folks are acting confused.
Ed Gallrein has been a Republican for over 40 years.
Four years as an Independent during that entire time is what most people would call a detour, not a lifestyle.
But here’s the part Massie really hoped nobody would dig into.
In 2021 Kentucky redistricted, yall remember that mess?
The Massie paid for politicians like Photo-op Felicia Rabourn and over cooked Massie foot kisser Adrienne Southworth absolutely having a fit?
Yeah you remember now. Well it created a new State Senate race in District 7 where Ed lives.
Where I also live. Gallrein switched back to Republican so he could run in that race.
That’s it.
No conspiracy.
No anti-Trump rebellion.
No dramatic political awakening.
Just basic election logistics.
And he only lost that race by 118 votes.
So what did Massie do?
He took a perfectly normal timeline and twisted it into a scary bedtime story for MAGA hoping nobody would check the details.
Because if there’s one thing Massie understands, it’s that accusing somebody of disloyalty to President Trump is the fastest way to rile people up.
Problem is… this one doesn’t hold water.
And frankly, it’s a little rich coming from the same man who has spent years picking fights with the very voters he now expects to rally behind him.
Around here we have a saying:
If you have to bend the truth that hard to make your opponent look bad…
you probably aren’t standing on much truth yourself.
But bless his heart. Now pass the popcorn.
