Seven term Kentucky House Representative Thomas Massey is one of the most brave political leader in Washington. He did what hundreds of other Republicans have failed to do, he stood up to a crime boss.
When you think of something a "hero" does you think of someone fighting a bully, you think of someone defending someone else. Massey fought and won against the most formidable villain in the history of the American Democracy... Trump.
Don't be fooled by Massey's loss, the Republican party was forced to pay a pretty penny for the win. The estimated cost of this primary alone is $30 million dollars. Officially this race is the most expensive house primary in U.S. history. The Republicans are burning cash. Cash given to them by Billionaires who may end up paying more for Republican victories in coming House, Senate and presidential races than they are saving from Trump's tax-free promises.
Future generations will see we're living in a organized crime movie. Anyone who stands up against Trump, who by all definitions is a corrupt manipulative crime boss, will probably lose at the polls. But, they are winners in the eyes of the 350 million Americans who understand what Trump and the Republicans are doing. Violating the freedoms and trust empowered by the U.S. Constitution.
America wants no kings. And those who are bowing to Trump will be remembered for kneeling in front of him while the few, the brave fought against corrupt authoritarian rule using the powers of democracy.
Massey is a winner and he'll be back.
