Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) does not seem phased by President Donald Trump’s call from his removal from Congress.

Trump announced Monday that he launched a political action committee that unseat Massie in the primary in May 2026 after Massie criticized the U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, IJR previously reported. Massie said the attacks were unconstitutional since Trump did not seek Congressional approval beforehand.

But, as The Hill reported, Massie thinks he is immune from Trump’s attacks.

“In some sense, I have the Trump antibodies,” Massie told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.

“There are a few people here who are consistent and don’t sway in the wind when it’s your president or somebody else’s president, and I’m just trying to be consistent here in this case,” he added.

Trump posted a lengthy item on social media in which he called Massie out for being a “pathetic loser.”

“MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague!” the president posted Sunday. “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,” Trump continued.

Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not
MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. 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…

— Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) June 22, 2025

Massie said he is only doing what he believes is right.

“I’m more of an ideologue than a populist, I’ll admit that, but at least if you’re an ideologue, you know what your ideas are, and with populism, you can blow in the wind,” Massie said. “I’m worried that in the first six months here, we’ve already sort of gone astray of what was one of the basic principles of putting America first.”

Massie has also gone to social media to make jabs at the president.

“I’m going to program my debt badge to display the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since @realDonaldTrump has tweeted at me last,” the congressman wrote.

“@realDonaldTrump declared so much War on me today it should require an Act of Congress. #sassywithmassie,” he wrote in a separate post.

Massie was first elected in 2012, per The Hill. He defeated two primary challengers last year.
