NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Rep. Thomas Massie lashed out at a Fox News Digital reporter when asked about his alleged ex-girlfriend’s allegations before answering his phone to the reporter, asking her if she liked “gay porn.”
The exchange in question came to light after a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend came forward with allegations that he offered her money and asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) regarding a wrongful termination dispute. Also, just weeks after the death of his wife, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo. He made allegations that he bragged about having sexual intercourse with.
The Kentucky Republican reversed course after the reporter said he wanted to give Massie the opportunity to publicly respond to the allegations.
“So let me ask you this, I heard you like gay porn,” Massie said as he pulled out his phone and began recording the reporter. “Is this true?”

As the reporter began to walk away from the heated argument, Massie continued to bombard the reporter with more questions during filming.
“Are you really a loser?” he asked the reporter.
“No, come back, man,” Massie told the Fox News Digital reporter as the reporter continued to follow behind him while recording.
“Are you with Fox?” he asked. “Is this a legitimate news organization? Is this what you do for a living?”
The interaction began with the reporter asking Massie if he could “clarify” allegations from his ex-girlfriend, former congressional staffer Cynthia West, who claimed Massie offered her $5,000 in exchange for dropping her lawsuit against her ally, Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind.
“These are all lies,” Massie said when asked.

Massie was later questioned about allegations of sexual intercourse with Boebert; West also claimed that Massie bragged to him about having sexual intercourse with Boebert several weeks after his wife’s death.
“These are all lies,” he said again when asked about Boebert.
Boebert also took heat earlier this month for asking the same Fox News Digital reporter the same questions about alleged sexual encounters.
“F— you first of all!” Boebert told the reporter while bringing up the allegations from Massie’s alleged ex-girlfriend.

“If you bring me into this, the sexism thing is out of control,” she continued. “So there’s the clickbait you’re looking for.”
In an earlier conversation with Massie, he questioned why Fox News was asking about the allegations.

“When did you all become tabloids?” Massie asked. “Seriously, dude.”
The allegations against Massie emerged just a week before Massie was defeated in the race to retain his seat in the House of Representatives in the May 19 Republican primary.
