at Massey's support of releasing the Epstein files, Trump was not happy.Okay, well now Republicans on Capitol Hill are nervous because now you have an emboldened Thomas Massey.
He doesn't just leave office after last night.There are several more months of Epstein investigation that could occur with Massey helping the effort.But that's not all.Trump yesterday endorsed Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas Senate primary.Republicans are nervous about that.Why?
Because Ken Paxton at the top of the ticket in Texas could lead to Democrats flipping it with James Tallarico.But that's not all.Remember what happened in Louisiana over the past week?Bill Cassidy, a Republican senator who voted alongside Trump most of the time, except when he voted to convict him in the January 6th impeachment, Trump ousted him.Did exactly what he did to Massey last night to Cassidy.And guess what happened yesterday?
Cassidy voted to end Trump's war in Iran.Trump is actively consolidating power on Capitol Hill by removing those he doesn't like.But at the same time, he's actually causing himself even bigger issues in the short term.We'll see what happens with Massey.Spread the word.Follow for more.
