On the eve of the contentious Kentucky primary elections, where controversial Rep. Thomas Massie is locked in a tight race against President Donald Trump's choice in the race, former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, alleged sexual explicit text messages between the 'maverick' member of Congress and his ex-girlfriend Cynthia West have come to light.
Light, who recently divulged that Rep. Massie allegedly offered her $5,000 to drop a pending wrongful termination lawsuit she filed after being terminated from Rep. Victoria Sparks' congressional office, where she was employed.
"He had $5,000, he said that he would give me if I could just walk away," West said. "I didn't take it, though."
The House Ethics Committee offered West $60,000 to make the complaint go away. West declined to take the deal because it contained a non-disclosure Agreement (NDA) preventing her from openly speaking about the allegations.
West alleged that Rep. Massie wanted her to "engage in behavior" she was not willing to partake in. It's not sure what kind of behavior she was referring to, but social media messages The Floridian recently obtained from a source close to West could shed some light.
Massie appears to refer to his male appendage as a "pinecone" and joked that it set off a metal detector (again) at an airport, adding that he received "full groin Patdown."
In addition, Massie also questions if his recent weight loss has made his "pinecone" change in appearance.
And then there is this text where another woman named "Lauren" allegedly asked Massie if his "pinecone" fit West when the woman found out that Massie was engaged in a sexual relationship with West.
Who is "Lauren?"
Could Massie be referring to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R), who recently campaigned with him, and took a lashing from President Trump for doing so?
Trump targeted Rep. Boebert in a Truth Social posting.
“Boebert is campaigning for the Worst ‘Republican’ Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight!” Trump wrote in the post. “Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative."
Ola Hawatmeh, who considers herself an "America First" congressional candidate, recently expressed her dissatisfaction with both Boebert and Massie, questioning why they would side with Democrats to oppose any part of Trump's legislative agenda in the U.S. Congress.
"Considering how progressive Democrats have used lawfare and baseless impeachment plays against the most consequential president of our lifetime, who has put himself and his family in harm's way to protect our God-given liberties and freedoms, how dumb is it for Boebert to defy him by standing with Massie?" said Hawatmeh.
Hawatmeh is a senior advisor to Rep. Sparks and is running to replace Trump-endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds, who is running for governor in Florida.
