Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded his race in Kentucky’s fourth congressional district.
As reported earlier in the evening, Massie lost to former NAVY Seal Ed Gallrein in Tuesday’s primary election by a decisive margin.
During his concession speech, Massie said he was unable to Gallrein because he was in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
“Listen, I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent and concede and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.”
”I have called and conceded the race. We have been honorable the whole time and we are going to stay that way.”
“Welcome to the most expensive congressional primary ever, in the 250 year history of this country.”
”It is not just the most expensive, this thing went on longer than Vietnam.”
