It’s official. American elections can be bought. Israel did it for $15.5 AMERICA FIRST DIED IN KENTUCKY TODAY.
AMERICA FIRST DIED IN KENTUCKY TODAY.
Thomas Massie lost his Republican primary 54.5% to 45.5%.
The numbers are real.
The money was foreign-aligned.
The story is the end of something. While simultaneously being the beginning of something even crazier.
Thomas Massie was the last consistent America First voice in the Republican caucus with a 96% LIBERTY Rating.
He voted against the Iran war.
He helped force the release of the Epstein files.
He voted against U.S. military aid to Israel.
Five days ago, he introduced the AIPAC Act, a bill to require AIPAC lobbyists to register as foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. (Remind you of anyone?)
Five days later, the lobby he tried to register helped end his career.
Read that again.
$33 million was spent on this single Kentucky House primary, the most expensive primary in U.S. history. $15.5 million of it came from three pro-Israel PACs working to defeat him.
United Democracy Project (AIPAC's election arm): $4.1M
RJC Victory Fund: $3.9M
MAGA KY: $7.5M, largely funded by Paul Singer and a PAC linked to Miriam Adelson
Paul Singer.
Miriam Adelson.
John Paulson.
Three billionaires named by Massie himself on the Tucker Carlson show as the people behind his defeat.
None of them live in Kentucky.
All of them are publicly identified as major funders of pro-Israel causes.
On Tucker, Massie said at least 95 percent of the funding behind his opponent came from the Israel lobby.
His words. On the record.
A sitting Republican president flew to Hebron, Kentucky to campaign against the only consistent America First incumbent left in his own party.
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, made a personal appearance for the challenger the day before the vote. (Which was illegal btw)
The President publicly threatened to revoke Lauren Boebert's endorsement when she campaigned with Massie.
This was not a Kentucky primary.
This was a foreign-policy referendum, bought with foreign-aligned money, to remove the only Republican who voted against more war, more bombs, more foreign aid, and more cover-ups.
When a lobby pushing a foreign government's policy can spend $15.5 million to defeat a sitting U.S. Congressman who tried to require it to register under FARA, the question is no longer whether foreign interests are buying our elections.
The question is whether we are still pretending they are not.
Republics do not die in coups. They die in primaries, bought by people who do not live here, for the seats of the few who would not bend.
This is how empires fall.
Ours started to fall today.
It is over.
Lobbying should be illegal.
Follow the money.
