Rep. Thomas Massie, the maverick Republican facing a primary challenge from Ed Gallrein in Tuesday\u2019s Kentucky primary, has earned goodwill from progressives and Democrats for standing up to President Donald Trump on the Epstein files and opposing the Iran war.<\/p>\n

Melissa Strange, one of the two candidates in the Democratic primary for the 4th<\/sup> Congressional District, held by Massie, told Raw Story she\u2019s seen Democrats and progressives in Kentucky rooting for Massie from the sidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen plenty of them, when they post on social media, and I have heard plenty of them say in front of me: \u2018People need to vote for Massie. We need him to survive the primary,\u2019\u201d Strange said.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the country, Ryan Bussie, a Democratic congressional candidate in Montana, has praised Massie for being \u201ccourageous bucking his party on the Epstein thing,\u201d while citing former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene \u2014 a Republican who occupied a similar political space to Massie before her retirement \u2014 as a model because \u201cshe didn\u2019t play by the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Massie\u2019s extremism and embrace of conspiracy theories is well known. He posted a photo of his family posing with military-style rifles in front of a Christmas tree only days after a deadly 2021 school shooting in Michigan, compared vaccine mandates to the Holocaust, and aggressively spread the false \u201cfedsurrection\u201d conspiracy theory suggesting the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol was an inside job.<\/p>\n

And Dakota Adams, a progressive Democrat whose father founded the far-right Oath Keepers that played a pivotal role in the Jan. 6 attack, warned that Democrats are playing a dangerous game by allowing themselves to be drawn in by Massie.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a delicious narcotic, and it\u2019s incredibly dangerous for anyone in the Democratic Party to think Massie is an ally,\u201d said Adams, who ran unsuccessfully as a Democrat for a Montana state legislative district in 2024. \u201cThere is no bridge-building with the Republican Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams\u2019 father, whom he has disowned, posed for a photo at a campaign stop with Massie in Kentucky last week. Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy for his role in the Jan. 6 attack, but Trump commuted his sentence almost immediately after returning to the White House in 2025.<\/p>\n

Shaking the Oath Keeper leader\u2019s hand during the campaign stop in LaGrange, Kentucky, on May 15, Massie reportedly told him, \u201cSorry for everything you\u2019ve been through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams told Raw Story he views the handshake as a \u201ctransaction,\u201d with each man seeking to maintain their credibility with the Republican Party\u2019s far-right base as they look towards a future without Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cStewart is trying to put himself into a position where he can execute a post-Trump pivot,\u201d Adams said. \u201cMassie needs to shore himself up as someone who is down and cool with the far right, but without needing to rely on Trump\u2019s endorsement to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The danger for the progressives in getting roped into Massie\u2019s far-right repositioning, Adams said, is that they could inadvertently wind up lending support to an authoritarian takeover far more ruthless and effective than what Trump has been able to accomplish.<\/p>\n

Adams said he views the decision by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) to team up with Massie to force the release of the Epstein files as \u201ca good, strategic move that did damage to Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he added, \u201cIn the future, if, for example, there\u2019s a second insurrection to keep [Vice President JD] Vance in the White House, they risk embracing somebody who could potentially be on the side of the insurrection for the much worse sequel in 2029.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Massie campaign did not respond to an emailed request for comment.<\/p>\n

Contrary to fellow Democrats who are rooting for Massie, Strange said she views a Gallrein win as both a higher risk and a higher potential reward for Democrats. She argued that Gallrein would face difficulty garnering general election votes from not only Democrats and independents, but also from many Republicans.<\/p>\n

Strange told Raw Story many of the Kentucky Democrats and independents who have \u201csoftened\u201d on Massie because of his defiance of Trump have been \u201cblinded.\u201d She said they\u2019re overlooking his vote against the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that included critical funding to replace an aging Interstate 75 bridge linking the 4th<\/sup> District to Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Jesse Brewer, Strange\u2019s opponent in the Democratic primary, told Raw Story he wants voters to focus on the needs of the people in the 4th<\/sup> District, not the national politics surrounding Massie. In the case of Brewer, a cancer survivor, that means pursuing his goal of achieving single-payer healthcare.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to be seduced by a person with bad intentions who is a good politician,\u201d Brewer said. \u201cFor example, look at MAGA and Trump: They were seduced by Trump, and it was all bad intentions, but he did it well.\u201d<\/p>\n
