Ben Shapiro lackey Michael Knowles tells his audience not to blame the Israel Lobby if Rep. Thomas Massie loses.
He falsely claims that "there have been plenty of GOP congressmen who have opposed Israel who have voted against funding for the state of Israel or extra military aid or whatever," but "Trump didn't single them out for removal" and "even the super pro-Israel donors didn't dump all the money in to remove them."
Massie is actually being targeted because he doesn't vote enough in lockstep with the GOP, Knowles insists.
First off, MTG is the only other GOP rep who stood up to them and Trump and the Lobby hounded her out of her seat. The claim there have been "plenty" of others is just a total lie.
Second, the Lobby aims to be nonpartisan, funds representatives in both parties based solely on their commitment to Israel, and views polarization as a terrible development that's fracturing once bipartisan support for Israel.
Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, John Paulson, AIPAC and the RJC don't care that Massie doesn't vote with the party—they care that he doesn't vote to advance the interests of Israel.
It's remarkable the Daily Wire has any audience left at all considering the way they treat their followers with such contempt.
Ben Shapiro says the Israel Lobby isn't going after Thomas Massie because of his opposition to Israel.
AIPAC and the RJC have both explicitly said that they're going after Massie because of his opposition to Israel—but Ben just lies to his audience and treats them like fools.
