After Republican U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie and his new wife got married this fall, the two got right back to work on his Kentucky farm.

“We put on work clothes, she left her veil on and we butchered chickens,” he said. Carolyn Grace Moffa, a former staffer for Republican Sen. Rand Paul, helped bleed out, scald, and pluck the birds, he said.

Their private ceremony in Garrison, Kentucky stayed a secret for about two weeks until, on Nov. 2, they had a wedding at a Pennsylvania farm with about 150 guests, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA, and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.

The wedding happened roughly 16 months after Massie’s wife and high school sweetheart, Rhonda Massie, died unexpectedly after years of health struggles. She was 51 years old.

“I still cry every day,” Massie told The Enquirer in an exclusive interview Nov. 15 at a Biggby Coffee shop in Northern Kentucky. “People, they're like, ‘Wait he didn't grieve long enough for his wife.’ I'm still grieving.”

His comments come the day after President Donald Trump taunted the congressman about his new marriage.
