The Republican Party's pro-Israel allies are going all-out to unseat Rep. Thomas Massie. He's responded by making those attacks a centerpiece of his campaign.
The GOP's mega-donor ranks are filled with backers of Israel, and they're showing they're willing to invest in defeating lawmakers who are critical of Israel.
They're also aligning themselves with President Trump, who has singled out Massie (R-Ky.) — a rare congressional Republican Trump critic — for defeat.
Massie has vocally criticized Israel's handling of the war in Gaza and voted against providing U.S. aid to Israel. He also skipped Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's July 2024 address to the U.S. Congress.
"I wouldn't send them a dime. Like, that's my position. I don't think whatever we're getting is worth it," Massie said in a June appearance on comedian Theo Von's podcast.
Pro-Israel donors are funneling money to MAGA Kentucky, a Trump-aligned super PAC that's aired several anti-Massie ads.
The PAC — spearheaded by Trump senior political advisers Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio — has raised $2 million from New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer, investor John Paulson and a political committee tied to casino mogul and Dallas Mavericks co-owner Miriam Adelson...
Senior Republicans also expect AIPAC to target Massie ahead of the May 2026 primary.
AIPAC spent more than $300,000 on ads against Massie in 2024, calling him an "anti-Israel radical."
AIPAC spokesperson Marshall Wittman declined to detail the group's plans, but said in a statement: "Thomas Massie is closely aligned with [Democratic Reps.] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib in voting against pro-Israel policies" backed by Trump and Republicans.
The Republican Jewish Coalition is also planning on getting involved in the race. "Like President Trump, we are committed to the defeat of Thomas Massie," Matt Brooks, the organization's CEO, tells Axios.

Massie is a misguided idiot and embarrassment to the electorate. Should be replaced ASAP. It shouldn’t be difficult to find many capable people of good character to run instead of Massie
At least they’re being open and honest about it. Why is Massie so secretive about who’s funding him?
There you go again, quoting leftist news sources to support your anti-Semitism.
you have a nice obsession
No, seriously. Explain it.
From the article:
The Republican Jewish Coalition is also planning on getting involved in the race. "Like President Trump, we are committed to the defeat of Thomas Massie," Matt Brooks, the organization's CEO, tells Axios.
Is the Republican Jewish Coalition also anti-Semitic for talking to "leftist" Axios?
Massey does not understand that politics in USA is a team sport, same as football or ice hockey or soccer. The team wins if you are a team contributor.
I don’t like foreigners meddling in our elections, whether it’s our adversary China or ally Israel.
It appears that he’s on his way out after 14 years in office. The marine vet running against him looks like he may well win election
Because he's received money from the likes of muslim donors who also donate to Ilhan Omar:
Oh.
The article may or may not be anti-Semitic. Your reason for posting it is to smear Jews for opposing Massie.
YOU are the anti-Semite I’m referring to.
Do you think it's wrong to oppose Massie?
If not, then how is it a "smear"?
Because you only ever post things that make Jews look bad.
You think that Massie is bad. So why aren't you proud that the Israel lobby is opposing Massie? Why aren't you bragging about it?
You can’t follow simple concepts.
Whatever.
“Why is Massie so secretive about who’s funding him?” Probably because it is a bunch of out of state leftists wanting to stick it to Trump.
