Rep. Thomas Massie lashed out at a Fox News Digital reporter when asked about allegations from his purported ex-girlfriend before turning his phone on the reporter, asking him if he likes “gay porn.”<\/p>\n
The exchange unfolded after a woman who claims to be his ex-girlfriend came forward with allegations that he offered her money and asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) related to a wrongful termination dispute. She also made allegations that he had bragged to her about an alleged sexual encounter with Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., just weeks after his wife died<\/a>.<\/p>\n After the reporter told Massie he wanted to give him an opportunity to respond publicly to the allegations, the Kentucky Republican turned<\/a> the exchange around.<\/p>\n “So let me ask you, I heard that you like gay porn,” Massie said as he pulled out his phone and began recording the reporter. “Is that true?”<\/p>\n MASSIE POSITIONS HIMSELF FOR POTENTIAL POLITICAL FUTURE AFTER PRIMARY DEFEAT: ‘I WON’T BE GOING AWAY SILENTLY’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n As the reporter began to walk away from the heated exchange, Massie continued to bombard the reporter with more questions while filming.<\/p>\n “Are you a real loser?” he asked the reporter.<\/p>\n “No, come back man,” Massie said to the Fox News Digital reporter as the reporter walked away as he continued to follow behind him recording.<\/p>\n “Are you with Fox?” he asked. “Is that a legitimate news organization? Is this what you do for a living?”<\/p>\n The interaction started with the reporter asking Massie if he could “clear up” the allegations from his ex-girlfriend, former congressional staffer Cynthia West, that claimed he offered her $5,000 in exchange<\/a> for her to drop a lawsuit for wrongful termination against Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., \u2014 an ally of Massie.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s all false,” Massie said when asked.<\/p>\n TRUMP-BACKED CANDIDATE ED GALLREIN CALLS KENTUCKY UPSET A \u2018DAVID VS. GOLIATH\u2019 WIN AFTER DEFEATING MASSIE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Massie was then questioned about the allegations of him having alleged sexual relations with Boebert, as West also claimed Massie bragged to her about a sexual encounter with Boebert within weeks after his wife\u2019s death.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s all false,” he said again when asked about Boebert.<\/p>\n Boebert also erupted at<\/a> the same Fox News Digital reporter earlier this month for asking the same questions about their alleged sexual encounter.<\/p>\n “F— you, first of all!\u2019 Boebert said to the reporter when bringing up the claims from Massie\u2019s alleged ex-girlfriend.<\/p>\n RAND PAUL PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR MASSIE AGAINST TRUMP-BACKED CHALLENGER: ‘I’M GOING TO HELP HIM’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “If you’re gonna bring me into this, like, the sexist stuff is like out of control,” she continued. “So there’s your clickbait that you were looking for.”<\/p>\n Earlier in the exchange with Massie, he questioned why Fox News was asking about the allegations.<\/p>\n “When did you all become a tabloid?” Massie asked. “Seriously, dude.”<\/p>\n The allegations against Massie surfaced just a week before Massie was defeated in the race<\/a> to keep his House seat in the May 19 Republican primary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rep.
