Bernie Sanders: AIPAC Controls Congress, Not Voters

Senators who privately oppose Israel’s brutal war on Gaza will vote to advance Israel’s interests over the will of their constituents because they know that AIPAC will destroy their political careers if they do otherwise, according to Senator Bernie Sanders.In an interview last month that’s only now going viral, Sanders (D-VA) told Jon Stewart that fear of having one’s political career destroyed by the Israel Lobby is “the root of everything” when it comes to the will of the public not being reflected by our representatives — only to catch himself and walk it back.

 


“I introduced legislation that would stop arms sales to Netanyahu,” Sanders said. “We got 19 votes, which observers thought was very significant.”

“A significant majority of people who consider themselves Democrats agree with us — I got 19 votes, OK?” he continued. “The American people do not believe that we should be supporting a government that is starving children right now as we speak. But if you stand up, you’re going to find that AIPAC and other billionaire-funded Super PACs are going to go to war against you, putting huge amounts of money in a primary in your general election.”

“So it’s not a question of not understanding,” Sanders said. “There are many members of the Senate who will come to you privately and say, my God, what Netanyahu is doing is outrageous. I just can’t vote, because money is going to come and destroy my political career. So you’ve got to get at the root of everything– not of everything — but a key part of this whole discussion.”

You were right the first time, Bernie. Every member of Congress having an “AIPAC babysitter” is the issue and the fact most of “our” representatives put the interests of a foreign power over America is criminal and that is at the “root” of everything.

 


As Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said in 2023, AIPAC should not have “the right” to “interfere in an American election on behalf of a foreign country.”

 


Massie is the only one with the balls to say this and that’s why the Israel Lobby is dumping money into smearing him and having their paid assets attack him all day.

Stop beating around the bush, stop equivocating, stop blaming this all on “Netanyahu” and tell the American people the truth!

Thomas Massie Says Every Republican in Congress has ‘AIPAC Babysitter’ from the Israeli Lobby

June 12, 2024 Tucker Carlson and Meaw 4

Tucker Carlson interviewed US Representative Thomas Massie who recently won the Republican nomination in a primary election in his home state of Kentucky despite attempts to thwart him by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful Israeli lobby group. AIPAC spent $400,000 to sink his campaign and destroy his character, but Massie got 76% of the vote.Massie told Tucker Carlson that every GOP congressman has an “AIPAC babysitter” who guides them on how to vote in the interests of Israel. Massie said that most Americans are unaware of this situation because “It doesn’t benefit anybody. Why would they want to tell their constituents that they’ve basically got a buddy system with somebody who’s representing a foreign country?” He said that most Evangelicals are unaware that the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) organization is not a grassroots organization, but is managed by AIPAC.

Massie made the case that his fellow Congressmen are not bribed and blackmailed into selling out Americans, but do it to be liked and to avoid criticism.

Massie also discussed the growing national debt and the future of America’s economy, building a home and living off grid, and much more.

 

 

Full interview:

.

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) has shockingly claimed that each Republican member of Congress has been appointed a representative by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) so that they vote for bills benefiting Israel.

On ‘The Tucker Carlson Show‘ on Friday, June 7, Massie revealed that he did not share a cordial relationship with AIPAC as they lobbied against his reelection following his rejection of writing a white paper on Israel, as reported by Mediaite.

Thomas Massie says he does not have ‘an AIPAC person’

He shared, “I have Republicans, you come to me on the floor and say, ‘I wish I could vote with you today. Yours is the right vote, but I would just take too much flak back home’.”

“And I have Republicans who come to me and say, ‘That’s wrong, what a PAC is doing to you. Let me talk to my AIPAC person.’ By the way, everybody but me has an AIPAC person,” the 53-year-old politician stated.

Carlson soon interrupted asking, “What does that mean – an AIPAC person?” to which Massie replied, “It’s like your babysitter. Your AIPAC babysitter who is always talking to you for AIPAC. They’re probably a constituent in your district, but they are, you know, firmly embedded in AIPAC.”

Thomas Massie elaborates on Republicans and ‘AIPAC guys’

The host further questioned, “And every member has something like this.”

The congressman replied, “Every Re– I don’t know how it works on the Democrats’ side. But that’s how it works on the Republican side. And when they come to DC, you go have lunch with them. And they’ve got your cell number and you have conversations with them.”

He went on to elaborate, “I’ve had four members of Congress say, ‘I’ll talk to my AIPAC person.’ And like that’s clearly what we call them, my AIPAC guy. I’ll talk to my AIPAC guy and see if I can get them to, you know, dial those ads back.”

Expressing his shock, Carlson remarked, “Why have I never heard this before?”

Massie said, “It doesn’t benefit anybody. Why would they want to tell their constituents that they’ve basically got a buddy system with somebody who’s representing a foreign country?”

“It doesn’t benefit the congressmen for people to know that. So they’re not going to tell you that,” he asserted.

Internet reacts to Thomas Massie’s revelations

Meanwhile, Massie’s statements have stirred conversations on the internet with a reader below the Mediaite article writing, “Wait until MAGA discovers US taxpayers fund government-subsidized abortion in their beloved Israel.”

Another one said, “Well… Are we finally getting to the truth about AIPAC? Wouldn’t that be nice…”

The third one commented, “Israel owns the USA and I’m not quite sure how or why.”
