Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Monday slammed former President Trump for encouraging a primary challenge against a Florida Republican, saying he was employing “ridiculous bullying tactics.”
Trump on Sunday took aim at Rep. Laurel Lee (R-Fla.), the only member of the Florida House delegation to endorse Gov. Ron DeSantis over Trump in the GOP presidential primary. She ultimately endorsed Trump after DeSantis ended his campaign.
Massie, who also initially endorsed DeSantis, shot back at Trump.
“This is unhelpful and unwarranted,” Massie wrote on social media. “@RepLaurelLee is a conservative thoughtful member of the judiciary committee. She endorsed DeSantis for President but then endorsed Trump when DeSantis got out of the race.”
“More of my colleagues should call out these ridiculous bullying tactics,” he said.
