Massie clashes with pro-Israel group over opposition $14B aid package: 'Extracted through inflation and taxes'
Fox News
Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie sparred with a pro-Israel group on social media after he said he would vote against a $14.3 billion aid package for Israel.
"If Congress sends $14.5 billion to Israel, on average we'll be taking about $100 from every working person in the United States," Massie wrote Monday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "This will be extracted through inflation and taxes. I’m against it."
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee pointed out that the congressman voted last week with nine progressive Democrats, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, against a resolution defending Israel's right to defend itself and condemning Hamas.
