Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., responded with a quip on Friday after President Donald Trump<\/a> called him a “moron” during a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m glad to know I\u2019m in the President\u2019s prayers,” the lawmaker wrote in a Friday text message to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

While speaking at the event on Thursday, Trump accused Massie of being “an automatic no” on measures backed by other Republicans in the House of Representatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump said there is “something wrong with him. We call him Rand Paul Jr,” the president said, referring to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.<\/p>\n

THESE ARE THE 21 HOUSE REPUBLICANS WHO HELD OUT AGAINST TRUMP, JOHNSON ON $1.2T SPENDING BILL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“They love voting no,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

Massie defended his voting record on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“The President of the United States called me a moron at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning because I\u2019m still fighting for what he promised the American people: Reduce big spending, DOGE, no new wars, end foreign aid, defend 1A 2A 4A, prolife, and expose sex traffickers,” the congressman wrote in a Thursday post on X.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a post on his campaign account, Massie, a staunch fiscal hawk, wrote<\/a>, “#FeelingBlessed,” along with the praying hands emoji, before adding, “Trump attacked me at the National Prayer Breakfast today. I vote with the GOP in DC 91% of the time, because 9% of the time they\u2019re bankrupting our country, starting another war, or covering up for pedophiles.”<\/p>\n

Trump is backing Ed Gallrein, a GOP primary challenger running against Massie in the Bluegrass State’s<\/a> 4th Congressional District.<\/p>\n

TRUMP JOKES HE \u2018HANGS AROUND\u2019 MIKE JOHNSON BECAUSE HE FEELS \u2018PROTECTED\u2019 AT PRAYER BREAKFAST<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“People are saying that Thomas Massie became a Liberal because his new wife, blessed be their marriage, is supposedly a Radical Left \u2018flamethrower.\u2019 This new union all went so fast that maybe he didn\u2019t know what he was getting into but, nevertheless, he is an absolutely terrible and unreliable \u2018Republican\u2019 \u2014 Perhaps a RINO, or maybe even worse!” Trump asserted in a Monday Truth Social post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Massie’s first wife died in 2024, and he remarried<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n

“Ed Gallrein, a Farmer and War Hero, is running against Massie. He is a HIGH QUALITY individual, and there is no Candidate for Congress that could be better. He is running because he realizes Thomas Massie has been totally disloyal to the President of the United States, and the Republican Party. He never votes for us, he always goes with the Democrats. Thomas Massie is a Complete and Total Disaster, we must make sure he loses, BIG!” Trump added in the post.<\/p>\n

TRUMP CONTINUES LAMBASTING INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN THOMAS MASSIE AS CHALLENGER FILES TO ENTER RACE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Massie fired back in a post<\/a> on X, “So now he\u2019s attacking my wife who voted for him three times. Maybe someone told him she\u2019s actually the one who suggested I ask Pam Bondi in person at a dinner when we would get Phase 2 of the Epstein files. Bondi said there were no more files. As they say, the rest is history.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
