Massie Blames Defeat On Jews Of Rural Kentucky

LOUISVILLE, KY — Representative Thomas Massie has accused the Jewish population of rural Kentucky of being the cause of his primary defeat.

After taking the stage to concede the race to Ed Gallrein, an angry Massie squarely laid the blame for his loss on the "dirty Zionists" of the tiny country towns that dot the Ohio River valley.

"I couldn't reach Gallrein to concede. He was probably lost with his supporters in yet another small-town Kentucky synagogue," declared Massie. "Yes, the deck was stacked against me by the Hebrew population of rural Kentucky. We ran a great campaign, I'm really proud of our team. We just couldn't overcome the Hasidic powers that control the farm towns of Appalachia."

Watching as the votes were tallied, Massie's campaign manager Randy Barnes stated that the Congressman had performed well in a few areas, but could not overcome the losses in heavily-Jewish areas of backwoods Kentucky. "Those nudniks really put the kabash on us," sighed Barnes. "Despite Israeli influence over the little villages of Kentucky, we showed a lot of chutzpah out there on the campaign trail. Mazel tov to Ed on his victory."

At publishing time, Massie had announced that he would now pursue his lifelong libertarian dream of opening a pot store.

Its like that old Bill Monroe Song

Blue Jews of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that’s gone and proved untrue
Blue Jews of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue

Sounds like a Kinky Friedman song.

Sort of like “They don’t make Jews like Jesus anymore.”

Massie blames the Jews for his loss. I’m thinking that it was God who took him out. There’s several incidences that we know of where God has had Trump’s back.

“how his mind works”

And not just him either.

I think his whole “anti-war” stance vis-a-vis Trump was really about his anti-Israel sentiments, which ignored the degree and manner in which Iran was (has been for 47 years) a threat not merely to Israel, but to all of us.

I think maybe he saw Iran as singularly Israel’s problem and a problem our budget should not spend a dime on, particularly not for “the Jews”. Wrong.

Yeah, and electing Paxton over RINO Cornyn will piss off all the moderates.

And Trump can never get elected.

We’ve heard your song before.

Maybe he can get a job running one of the concentration camps that the Democrats have announced to house American Zionists.

WOW, I guess Massie is even more of a kook than I thought.
