AIPAC ( American Israel Public Affairs Committee ) said Rep. Thomas Massie ( R- KY ) peddled “lies” and” tropes” about the pro- Israel lobbying group in his interview with Tucker Carlson. ” When again, @MassieforKY peddles lies and tropes about AIPAC. We are a U. S. organization of 4.5 million American members funded solely by Americans”, AIPAC said. ” Massie’s disdain for Israel, and for other Americans, will not deter us from working to strengthen our country’s ties with Israel”, it added. When once, @MassieforKY peddles lies and tropes about AIPAC. We are a U. S. organization of 4.5 million American members funded solely by Americans. Massie’s disdain for Israel, and for other Americans, will not deter us from working to strengthen our country’s ties with Israel. https ://t.co/ZchFb7wy68— AIPAC ( @AIPAC ) June 7, 2024In the interview, Massie discussed the lobbying group’s vast influence over American lawmakers. ” Everybody but me has an AIPAC person”, Massie said. Carlson inquired what that meant. ” It’s like your babysitter. Your AIPAC babysitter who is often talking to you for AIPAC”, Massie explained. ” That’s how it works on the Republican side”, he said. And you go have lunch with them when they arrive in DC. And they’ve got your cell number and you have conversations with them”, Massie said. ” My AIPAC guy is what four members of Congress have been telling me to talk to, and that’s what we call them.” I’ll talk to my AIPAC guy and see if I can get him to dial those ads back”, he explained. ” Basically, it’s a group of Americans who lobby on behalf of Israel. They’re for anything Israel and they’re a very powerful lobbying group”, he added. WATCH: Mediaite reports: Carlson followed up by asking if any additional countries have similar “guys” for whipping lawmakers. ” They pay for trips for congressmen and their spouses to go to Israel”, He continued. Although AIPAC has long been a powerful lobbying organization, it only started raising money for individual candidates in 2021.” I’m not the only Republican who has n’t taken the AIPAC trip to Israel, but I’m probably one of the dozen that has n’t taken that trip. Since that time, it has run negative ads against lawmakers it thinks are n’t enough for Israel or do n’t support the country. Before his principal election, AIPAC spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on mass media campaigns. Because Thomas Massie prefers America to Israel, AIPAC purchased$ 300,000 worth of ads next week. It seems like that’s what the British people want to, because they raised over$ 100, 000 for him soon after. He also took a poll asking whether AIPAC… https ://t.co/OOc31y7spk pic. twitter.com/g2egVNyf0u— MIA ( @_Mama_Mia10 ) May 14, 2024The day after I vote against @SpeakerJohnson, AIPAC announces a$ 300, 000 ad buy against me.

AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), said that Rep. Thomas Massie, R-KY, peddled “lies and tropes” in his interview with Tucker Carlson about the pro-Israeli lobbying group. “Once more, @MassieforKY peddles falsehoods and tropes against AIPAC. AIPAC stated that it is a U.S.-based organization with 4.5 million American Members funded solely by Americans. “Massie’s disdain of Israel and fellow Americans will not deter from working to strengthen the ties between our country and Israel,” added AIPAC. @MassieforKY has once again peddled lies and stereotypes about AIPAC. We are an American organization with 4.5 million members who are funded by Americans only. Massie’s contempt for Israel and fellow Americans will not stop us from working hard to strengthen our country’s ties with Israel. https://t.co/ZchFb7wy68 — AIPAC (@AIPAC) June 7, 2024 In the interview, Massie discussed the lobbying group’s vast influence over American lawmakers. Massie said, “Everyone but me has an AIPAC representative.” Carlson asked, “What does that mean?” “It’s just like your babysitter.” Massie explained that your AIPAC babysitter is always talking about AIPAC to you. “That’s the way it works on Republican side,” said Massie. “And when they arrive in DC, you have lunch with them.” Massie added, “They have your cell phone number and you talk to them.” “I have had four members of Congress tell me I’ll speak to my AIPAC person, and that’s what we call them. My AIPAC guy. He said he would talk to his AIPAC guy to see if he could dial back the ads. “Ostensibly it’s a lobbying group of Americans that works on behalf of Israel.” He added that they are for Israel and are a very powerful lobbying group. WATCH: Mediaite reports Carlson asked if other countries had similar “guys” to whip up lawmakers. He continued, “They pay for congressmen to go to Israel with their spouses.” “I’m certainly not the only Republican to have never taken the AIPAC trip, but I am probably one of about a dozen Republicans who haven’t done it. The others just haven’t gotten around to it.” AIPAC has been a powerful group for many years, but it only began raising funds for individual candidates in the year 2021. Since then, it has run negative advertisements against lawmakers that it believes are hostile to Israel or not sufficiently supportive of the country. AIPAC spent hundreds and thousands of dollars on advertising against Massie prior to his primary election. AIPAC spent $300,000 on ads against Thomas Massie last week because he wants America to be prioritized over Israel. The American people also seem to want that, as they raised more than $100,000 for him soon after.
