Band of independent X influencers flock to Kentucky to campaign for Thomas Massie
As the Kentucky GOP primary approaches, a group of independent influencers and commentators on X put out a call to go to Kentucky to campaign for GOP Rep. Thomas Massie.
On Tuesday, creator Tiffany Cianci called on any influencers with a platform on X to make the trip to Kentucky to campaign for Massie.
Her post has 1.3 million views on X as of Friday.
“I’m calling on every creator who is sick of watching money control everything to Meet me in Kentucky 5/14-5/20,” she wrote on X. “Let’s show them what real influence & integrity looks like.”
The primary election is May 19 and the GOP candidates fighting to represent Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District are incumbent Massie and Ed Gallrein, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump.
According to Axios, the primary race between Massie and Gallrein is the most expensive U.S. House primary in history.
The news outlet reports that the Republican Jewish Coalition has spent $4 million on ads supporting Gallrein and a super PAC that's part of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee has spent over $2 million to support him.
Massie has been one of the few Republicans in Congress critical of Israel and many of his supporters are critical of AIPAC funding in general.
“95% of my opponent’s donations come from the Israeli lobby from Adelson, Singer, Paulson, AIPAC, RJC,” Thomas Massie’s campaign posted on X. “They put millions of dollars into this race for one simple reason: I’ve never voted for foreign aid, not to Ukraine, not to Egypt and not to Israel.”
Other influencers on X posted pictures of them making their way to Kentucky to campaign for Massie.
Former Georgia GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed the coalition of influencers going to Kentucky.
“This is how you beat the machine of foreign donors, establishment media, and political consultants that are spending MILLIONS to buy the 4th district of Kentucky!” she wrote on X. “And voters under 40, GET OUT AND VOTE FOR THOMAS MASSIE!!!”
