Rep. Thomas Massie, R–Ky., accused former President Trump of "bullying" one of his House GOP colleagues.
"She endorsed [Florida Gov. Ron 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," Massie finished.
What followed was a post by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who has been critical of Trump in the past. He added his support by commenting: "Co-sponsor."
Trump called for a primary challenger to Lee in a post on his Truth Social app on Sunday night, writing, "Any great MAGA Republicans looking to run against Laurel Lee in Florida’s 15th Congressional District? IF SO, PLEASE STEP FORWARD!"

Lee was the only member of Florida’s House delegation to back the state’s governor against Trump. Massie and Roy also endorsed DeSantis when he was running in the Republican primary, but only Lee switched her endorsement to Trump in late January when DeSantis dropped out of the race.
Trump called for a primary challenger against Roy late last year.
