“Israeli Lobby” Spends $10 Million to Defeat Representative Thomas Massie from Kentucky
US Republican Representative Thomas Massie votes against war, bombs and foreign aid, which makes him unpopular with Israel. Massie’s voting record has adhered to the US Constitution.
Massie said that the Israeli lobby has spent $10 million and has fully funded his opponent, Republican Ed Gallrein in a primary race. Massie said the lobbyists are “trying to buy a congressional seat in Kentucky.” He named the donors: the Republican Jewish Coalition, AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee), and a super PAC called MAGA KY that is funded by megadonors Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson. The Evangelical Christians United for Israel (CUFI) group is also working against Massie.
