Massie questions whether it’s legal for AIPAC to operate in the same way other powerful lobbies do
Twitter/X ^ | Dec 6 | Greenwald

Posted on 12/06/2023 7:25:33 PM PST by RandFan

Rep. Thomas Massie:

“I actually won't accept the premise that AIPAC has the right to interfere in an American election on behalf of a foreign country—And if they do, we have guidelines and guardrails for that, which they seem to be exempt from.”

Massie found himself in a position earlier this year where he could have blocked the debt ceiling extension bill in the House Rules Committee.

For all his bloviating about "big spending," the guy had all the conviction of a wet noodle when that moment in time arrived for him to actually do something about it.

I’m not defending that but he has his reasons

I think its completely different

He is a strong, principled conservative and not really a loser as you say

He went against a sitting president on the COVID hysteria and survived it thank goodness

And you know very well he’d have been kicked off said committee in an instant

The leadership run that

He would become a backbench pariah.

The Haredi religious folk in Israel opposed the lockdown passionately throwing objects at the police and calling them “Nazis”.

He would have been the third Republican to vote against the bill in that committee. Chip Roy and Ralph Norman were also opposed.

And we now know that "the leadership" didn't even have enough leverage to keep Kevin McCarthy in the Speaker's chair.

He agrees with them on one narrow element I guess

There’s a longer list where they dont agree

i.e He is the biggest supporter of the 2nd Amendment in Congress

He’d be off that committee long term and all his committees if he started blocking stuff and crossed McCarthy at the time

You must know how it works.

Its also the crowd that sadly called those of us who opposed COVID lockdowns and masks and vaccines and so on “Anti-Semites” during COVID.

AIPAC did? I don't believe you. Got any proof?

I actually find it amazing he’s on the Rules committee considering some of his votes

He’s probably the most conservative member in the inner workings of the House and Congress.

That should be celebrated if not admired!

.
The guy walks around with a Debt Clock pin lecturing and pontificating on the Debt, then he has a chance to stop it in its tracks - and he Votes for Biden’s crazy Woke Spending.

Then you say he made a political calculation.

It’s just silly to sell this guy as a principled person.

We don’t need to guess, Massie said his job was not to Vote on his ideology in the Committee!

What is he voting upon based upon then?

He’s selling Ice to the Eskimos with lesser intelligence.



He’s a big talker, that’s 100% Deep State when his vote actually counts.

I guess that explains why his official "X/Twitter" account retweeted this meme.

AIPAC is the politicians they have bankrolled including Big COVID vax supporters like Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden for starters.

AIPAC to me is akin to ADL and they call everyone an Anti-Semite Elon Musk who exposed all the COVID oriented censorship in Social Media for example.

They're a one-issue organization and that issue is clearly not vaccines - I imagine they support people on all sides of the vaccine issue.

Well that's just stupid - so you admit made the whole thing up and you're bringing up another unrelated organization?

Meanwhile, the (p)Resident is bought and paid for by the CCP and 10,000,000 unvetted, illegal alien, military age men came across the border while this worthless f**k did s**t and he's worried about Israel.

Please excuse my French.
