President Donald Trump is escalating his attacks against Rep. Thomas Massie, demanding his followers vote out the "worst Congressman in the long and storied history of the Republican Party" in Kentucky's primary on Tuesday.

"He is an obstructionist and a fool," Trump posted Monday morning on Truth Social. "Vote him out of office tomorrow, Tuesday. It will be a great day for America!"

Despite being a staunch conservative, Massie has drawn the president's ire after voting against Trump-endorsed spending bills, opposing his wars and pushing for the Justice Department to release government files on Trump's friend, the late *** abuser Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump responded by recruiting former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein to unseat Massie in Tuesday's primary, which will serve as the latest teston whether a hand-picked candidate is enough for the president to get rid of his critics in office.

Still, polls haveshown there's still a solid chance the incumbent representing northern Kentucky can survive Trump's campaign to oust him.
