As expected, the matter has reached another stage.

Rep. Massie conceded defeat and made a comment about his opponent being in Tel Aviv. Rep. Greene declared the future of the GOP “destroyed.” Sen. Graham congratulated the winner, Ed Gallrein, and praised the “power of Donald Trump.” The defeated Rep. Massie was labeled a “LOSER” by Rep. Randy Fine. The scene unfolded with familiar phrases, like “stayed true to his beliefs” and “fought for his causes.”

It’s a routine of praise and criticism, with each side following a familiar script.
