It wasn’t necessary to be curious about Gallrein, there has been a vocal and concerted effort to make sure people knew he was getting this level of support from Pro-Israel groups.
On the other hand, it is scarcely mentioned that Massie is also backed by a major Pro-Israel organization. Maybe it’s because Yass claims to be libertarian and it takes a little digging to learn Yass is a big AIPAC supporter who also supports Netanyahu.
But, honestly, is it surprising that people who want control would butter both sides of their political bread?
Is it not necessary? It barely gets addressed here. When this was all initially going down I recall several posts here adamantly denying that they were doing any of this manipulation of the primary.
I live close enough to Massie’s district that I was inundated with ads for this race. I didn’t find the ads for either candidate to be very good or persuasive. So, I’m not sure how much the money really influenced the outcome.
This race followed the same pattern as incumbents Liz Cheney and Tom Rice being defeated during in a primary. President Trump endorsed their opponent and used his bullhorn to bash them. Each race followed a similar pattern, primary turnout nearly doubled and the incumbent was readily defeated.
What I think should be concerning to all of is the fact both candidates were getting the majority of their financial support from Pro-Israel entities. That’s something that should make us all curious.
