A cloud of suspicion has hung over the personal life of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who lost his primary bid for re-election last month amid sharp criticism from the White House.
According to a source purporting to be the widower’s former girlfriend, Massie asked her to sign a non-disclosure contract and offered to pay her to drop a wrongful termination lawsuit against one of his allies.
Pressed on the claims by a reporter, the congressman clearly wasn’t in the mood to open up, as Fox News reported:
“So let me ask you, I heard that you like gay porn,” Massie said as he pulled out his phone and began recording the reporter. “Is that true?”
ADVERTISEMENTAs the reporter began to walk away from the heated exchange, Massie continued to bombard the reporter with more questions while filming.
“Are you a real loser?” he asked the reporter.
“No, come back man,” Massie said to the Fox News Digital reporter as the reporter walked away as he continued to follow behind him recording.
“Are you with Fox?” he asked. “Is that a legitimate news organization? Is this what you do for a living?”
The interaction started with the reporter asking Massie if he could “clear up” the allegations from his ex-girlfriend, former congressional staffer Cynthia West, that claimed he offered her $5,000 in exchange for her to drop a lawsuit for wrongful termination against Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., — an ally of Massie.
The encounter soon sparked social media discussion:
Poor Masshole! He doesn’t like being asked questions about his wrongdoings!

Massie can’t handle the truth

During several of Massie's press conferences with Epstein survivors Massie has talked about "believing victims who come forward with credible claims in this specific case"
The Fox reporter did a great job as Massie attempted to use deflection

Fox should be ashamed of themselves. Putting out false information over some false bs some random lady said.

WFIN also covered Massie’s reaction, including his alleged ex-girlfriend’s claim that he had an affair with fellow Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO):
“It’s all false,” he said again when asked about Boebert.
Boebert also erupted at the same Fox News Digital reporter earlier this month for asking the same questions about their alleged sexual encounter.
“F— you, first of all!’ Boebert said to the reporter when bringing up the claims from Massie’s alleged ex-girlfriend.
“If you’re gonna bring me into this, like, the sexist stuff is like out of control,” she continued. “So there’s your clickbait that you were looking for.”
Earlier in the exchange with Massie, he questioned why Fox News was asking about the allegations.
“When did you all become a tabloid?” Massie asked. “Seriously, dude.”
