Massie replied to Fox News Digital's comment request on Tuesday by sharing the 2022 endorsement message in which Trump called him "a first-rate Defender of the Constitution" and "a Conservative Warrior for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District!"
The congressman also shared a screenshot of the statement on X and wrote, "For those who want to know what @realDonaldTrump really thinks of me, this should clear things up…"
Last month Massie was one of the two House Republicans who voted against passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act when it cleared the chamber.

The congressman declared on Saturday in a post on X that the president's strikes against Iran were "not Constitutional."
Trump unloaded on Massie in a Truth Social post on Sunday, indicating that he will campaign against the lawmaker.
"MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague! 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," Trump declared amid the anti-Massie diatribe.
