Super PAC Targeting Massie Funded By Three Israel-Backing Billionaires
Super PAC Targeting Massie Funded By Three Israel-Backing Billionaires
Though it sports a Kentucky- and MAGA-branded name, the new Super PAC launched solely to support a primary challenge against popular Republican Congressman Thomas Massie is funded entirely by three Israel-backing billionaires from Nevada, New York and Florida, according to disclosure filings posted on Thursday.
The super PAC was https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-team-launches-superpac-focused-solely-ousting-massie
the entity will spend "whatever it takes" to oust Massie.

The PAC's only three donors have two things in common: they're billionaires, and they're ardent supporters of Israel. According to the PAC's first https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00908723/1909602/sa/ALL
filed with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday, it has received:
$1 million from New Yorker hedge fund manager Paul Singer, who has also funded a Israel-favoring US https://mondoweiss.net/2018/08/yorker-profile-neoconservative/
from the Iran nuclear deal
$250,000 from Floridian hedge fund manager John Paulson
$750,000 from the Preserve America Super PAC, which has also been led by La Civita and primarily funded by Nevadan Miriam Adelson and earlier, her late husband Sheldon Adelson
Three billionaires from New York City and Las Vegas have funded a superPAC deceptively named Kentucky MAGA to run millions of dollars of negative ads against me because I vote against foreign aid for Israel and needless wars in the Middle East. Kentuckians aren’t falling for it. https://t.co/YuNYKWa7Oy

The PAC is called "MAGA Kentucky," a name that's misleading on two levels. Not only are its funders not Kentuckians, their principal motive for destroying Massie is his opposition to US bankrolling of Israel and participation in its wars. That is anything but a MAGA motive. As Trump recently told a prominent Jewish donor, https://www.ft.com/content/8d703b13-eefb-448d-933d-fa70e8e2dc78
MAGA Kentucky has already started running misleading attack ads that cherry-pick items from the sprawling Big Beautiful Bill and accuse Massie of voting "against" them, and also accuse him of "siding" with Iran's ayatollah:
“Massie sided with Democrats and the Ayatollah.”

In addition to opposing aid to Israel, Massie has also voted against legislation designed to stop Americans from criticizing Israel. The Antisemitism Awareness Act would use an expansive definition of antisemitism to expose universities to federal enforcement action if students voiced opposition to Zionism -- a political philosophy -- or compared the actions of Israel's government to those of Nazi Germany.

First elected to Congress in 2012 and consistently advocating for fiscal discipline, the right of armed self-defense, and a non-interventionist foreign policy, Massie has built a large and loyal national following among the libertarian right and other conservatives, with many regarding him as the congressional successor to the iconic Ron Paul. In his latest aggravation of Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, Massie is leading the drive to compel the release of Epstein investigative files. He has introduced a discharge petition that's predicted to secure enough signatures to force a vote on the https://massie.house.gov/uploadedfiles/efta.pdf

With Georgia GOP Rep Marjorie Taylor https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/mtg-moves-strike-half-billion-military-aid-nuclear-armed-israel
in Gaza, don't be surprised to see a "MAGA Georgia" PAC created to oust her, too -- funded by a similar cast of Israel-first characters. In the meantime, the drive to take out Massie is having unintended consequences:
