Massie Ally Sparks Backlash Over Accusations of VA Benefits Abuse by Trump-Backed Challenger

An ally of Rep. Thomas Massie has faced backlash after accusing Ed Gallrein, Massie's challenger, of potentially abusing VA benefits as a veteran. Gallrein has been running on a platform to reform veterans' healthcare programs, including disability benefits. Critics have accused the ally of targeting Gallrein with baseless claims, sparking controversy in the Kentucky congressional race. The move is seen as an attempt to discredit Gallrein and gain an advantage for Massie.
