🔥 Disinfo Detox goes deep into the GOP’s civil war in the Bluegrass State.
This episode features James Higdon, who served as an At-Large Member of the Republican Party in the state of Kentucky from 2021 to 2025. A former executive board member and political insider, Higdon brings a behind-the-scenes look at the growing rift inside Kentucky’s Republican Party—between establishment figures like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie and the Trump-aligned MAGA wing.
In this can't-miss conversation, we cover:
🧨 The Kentucky GOP's internal battles and why they matter nationally
🔀 Rand Paul & Thomas Massie’s clashes with Trump’s influence machine
📍 Why Kentucky’s electoral map makes it a crucial testing ground for the future of the GOP
⚔️ How Elon Musk and Trump are both trying to shape the politics of Massie’s district
🇺🇸 And where Kentucky stands as a national political force in 2025 and beyond
Forget the cable news narrative—this is what’s really going on inside the Republican Party.
