"On Sunday, Massie posted a photo of Adelson and wrote, Israeli citizen Miriam Adelson bought the Dallas Mavericks for $3.5 billion; now she's buying politicians. She's spending millions in Kentucky to buy Ed Gallrein, my primary opponent, a Congressional seat in Kentucky. Why? Because I won't vote to send your tax dollars overseas. Miriam Adelson is a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and the widow of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson."
"A social media user replied to Massie, writing, She's an American citizen. Stop lying. Massie replied, She's an Israeli citizen first. Even Trump says she probably loves Israel more than America. Many on the right were quick to pounce on Massie for questioning Miriam Adelson's patriotism and accused him of engaging in anti-Semitic tropes pointing to the photo he chose of her."
Rep. Thomas Massie posted a photo of Miriam Adelson and accused her of buying politicians after she backed his primary challenger with millions in Kentucky. Massie said he would not vote to send tax dollars overseas and noted Adelson's dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship and her role as the widow of Sheldon Adelson. Miriam Adelson donated heavily to Republican causes, including $100 million to support Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. A social media exchange followed in which Massie asserted Adelson was "an Israeli citizen first." Critics on the right accused Massie of deploying antisemitic tropes and condemned the chosen image.
