Think about what’s being unleashed against Thomas Massie simply because he dared to push for the release of the Epstein files.
Tens of millions of dollars in outside spending. Coordinated smear campaigns. Attacks from some of the most powerful figures in government and media. Members of his own party are mobilizing to destroy him.
And this is happening to a sitting member of Congress who is, in many ways, even more conservative than Donald Trump.
Whether you agree with Massie or not is beside the point.
If this is what happens to a powerful elected official with a national platform and millions of supporters when he challenges entrenched interests, imagine what Epstein survivors are up against when they consider coming forward.
The money. The political power. The government connections. The defense and media apparatus. The intimidation campaigns.
If this doesn’t make clear why so many survivors remain silent for years, or never speak at all, we don’t know what does.
The Thomas Massie primary is truly insane. We are looking at the most expensive U.S. House primary in history, with spending pushing toward $35 million.
Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, has raised just $2 million on his own. The rest of the money, over $14 million, is coming from outside Super PACs who desperately want Massie gone.
On top of that, Pete Hegseth is being deployed to Kentucky to campaign against him. Stephen Miller & Con Inc. have been on massive Twitter tirades attacking him. And there was a highly coordinated smear campaign of unfounded allegations launched this week by Con Inc. influencers.
When the establishment is willing to spend $35M and go to these lengths to take one man down, it really makes you wonder why.
Whether you like Massie or not, this election will determine whether or not we as voters actually have a voice anymore. If outside special-interest money can successfully buy a seat and sway an election like this, we have a serious, serious problem.
