Rep. Thomas Massie, facing a primary challenge from Trump's political organization and AIPAC, suggests this could backfire as right-wing support for foreign aid declines. In an exclusive interview, he criticized foreign lobbying efforts and maintained that his stance against perpetual wars is increasingly aligned with Republican sentiments. Massie's past conflicts with Trump and recent criticisms of U.S. foreign policy further complicate his position. He asserts that a potential loss for Trump and AIPAC could significantly damage their credibility in the political landscape.
Massie mentioned that both Trump and AIPAC have to think about the political risks they face; if they challenge him and fail, they lose credibility.
The congressman argued that his stance against foreign aid and perpetual wars resonates with a shifting sentiment within the Republican base.
He believes that his criticism of Trump's Iran actions and support for reduced foreign aid is not a liability but rather an asset in this changing political climate.
Massie emphasized that foreign lobbyists have been trying to influence GOP primaries, which adds another layer of complexity to his battle in Kentucky.
