You know very well that the majority of Massie's donations come from small donors while the AIPAC stand-in is primarily funded by that foreign lobby.
The majority of Massie's donations come from small donors out of state (90%). Rabid Jew haters?
This sounds like something that is written by a guy with an AIPAC tattoo on his chest.
"A detailed analysis by the Lexington Herald-Leader found that:
* From Jan. 1Sep. 30, 2025, only about 4.3% of Massie's itemized individual donations came from Kentucky donors.
* In the final quarter of 2025, Kentucky donors made up about 5.6% of his fundraising."

Of course in this attempt at swiftboating, none of the Trumptards would do the same basic inquiry about Massie's AIPAC stand-in, who is
the epitome of the corrupt special interest electoral system :
Ed Gallrein's primary funding comes from a combination of high-profile billionaire donors and political action committees (PACs) aligned with Donald Trump and pro-Israel interests. As of the May 2026 Republican primary, his campaign and supporting groups have raised millions to challenge incumbent Representative Thomas Massie. [
