EXCLUSIVE: AIPAC Seeking Out Challengers To Unseat Rep. Thomas Massie

The American Committee for Public Affairs (AIPAC) seeks to oust the republican representative of Kentucky Thomas Massie in the next mid-term elections in 2026.
AIPAC actively recruited candidates to present themselves in primary on Massie, a familiar source told The Daily Caller.
“I am aware that foreign lobbyists have led a push survey and try to recruit another candidate to appear against me, because of my opposition to foreign aid and forever wars,” Massie said in a statement sent to the appellant.
“Their previous efforts have completely failed, and I expect this race not different,” he added.

He opposed the recent United States strike on Iranian nuclear installations, qualifying the actions of Trump unconstitutional, but said on Monday that he did not support the Democrat representative of New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to dismiss Trump for the attack.

Trump wrote a long social article on Truth on Sunday saying that he would campaign personally against Massie, adding that a wonderful “American patriot” would challenge the member of the Kentucky Congress in the Republican primary.
The president followed on Sunday with another social position targeting Massie, declaring: “Take out this” tramp “, as soon as possible!”
Trump’s political team has made requests from the Republicans interested in setting up a main challenge against Massie, according to an Axios de Mai report.
Massie put the president on several recent questions, notably the Iran-Israel war.
Massie united her forces with the Democratic representative of California, Ro Khanna, to introduce a resolution aimed at preventing Trump from launching “unauthorized hostilities” against Iran on June 17. (Related: Loftus: GOP senators quickly exhibit their blatant disconnection with Maga)
He was one of the only two republican members of the congress to vote “no” on the “major bill on the major project”, citing concerns about its impact on the national deficit and accusing legislators of relying on “fantastic mathematics” instead of implementing real reductions in federal spending.
Before the vote, during a visit to Capitol Hill, Trump criticized the member of the Kentucky Congress, saying to journalists: “No, I do not think that Thomas Massie understands the government” and adding: “I think he is a forum, frankly … I think he should be voted out of service.”
Massie appeared on the podcast of Theo von “this last weekend” Tuesday, where he shared his point of view on the political influence of Aipac, declaring: “I think they are the best lobbying group in Washington DC, and the reason why they can do is that you can have double citizens – American and Israeli people – who are authorized to give Because they were American. “
He continued: “Under this, you are allowed to participate. But if you are a foreign national, you are not allowed to do so. ”
The appellant contacted Aipac to comment but did not receive an answer before the publication.
