White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt unleashed a scathing takedown of Congressman Thomas Massie on Wednesday, labeling the Kentucky Republican’s recent attacks as the “death throes of a desperate career.”
The confrontation comes after Massie leveled a toxic accusation against the administration’s top spokesperson, infamously comparing Leavitt to Joseph Goebbels—the Nazi official who served as Adolf Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda.
Addressing the press corps, a composed but firm Leavitt refused to mince words, dismissing the inflammatory rhetoric as the desperate act of a man who has lost his way in Washington.
“What you’re hearing are the death throes of a desperate career,” Leavitt said, staring down reporters. “Mr. Massie isn’t just being shunned from Congress for his treason, he’ll never work in politics again.”
The stunning rebuke suggests that the bridge between the administration and the libertarian-leaning Congressman has not only been burned, but obliterated.
In a move that will likely send shockwaves through Capitol Hill, Leavitt further hinted that the President is actively taking steps to ensure Massie finds himself out in the cold once his current term expires. When asked if the administration would be making life difficult for the lawmaker in the private sector, Leavitt confirmed that the White House was already maneuvering.
“The President has already called in a handful of favors to ensure that the Kentucky lawyer doesn’t have a safety net when his term is up,” she stated pointedly.
Closing out the briefing with a final, chilling assessment of Massie’s political future, Leavitt offered a curt warning: “He made his bed.”
The remarks signal a total escalation in the ongoing feud between the White House and the vocal Kentucky Republican, confirming that the administration has no intention of letting the controversial Nazi comparison slide without a heavy price.
