https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64605EXTRACTCongressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) is being accused of anti-Semitism for stating that members of the US Congress should not be allowed to hold dual citizenship with other countries.
“Dual citizens elected to United States Congress should renounce citizenship in all other countries,” Massie said Monday on X. “At a minimum, they should disclose their citizenship in other countries and abstain from votes specifically benefitting those countries.”Though Massie didn’t call out any country by name, he was immediately accused of anti-Semitism by Jewish Florida State Rep. Randy Fine (R).
“This guy is just gross,” Rep. Fine said. “Who in Congress is a dual citizen? I think we all know the slur he is tossing around. The real question is why certain Florida politicians choose this bigot to hang around with.”
Fine worked in the Florida legislature to pass the most oppressive hate crime laws in America in order to jail people for sharing “anti-Semitic” flyers criticizing Jews and Israel — without a care in the world for our First Amendment.
Fine’s bill, HB 269/SB 994,
made anti-Semitic “littering” (aka leafleting) a felony punishable by five years in prison. Stew Peters: Hate speech laws about to be passed in Florida under FAUX conservative governor Ron Desantis. Penalty for having the “wrong” opinion? 3rd degree felony and 5 years in jail! Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a signing ceremony for the bill together with Fine while on foreign soil in Israel after dining with pro-Israel megadonor Miriam Adelson. Randy Fine: Made a secret trip to JERUSALEM (!!!) with @RepMikeCaruso to deliver @GovRonDeSantis HB 269, the strongest antisemitism bill in the United States. To Florida’s Nazi thugs, I have news: attack Jews on their property and you’re going to prison. Never again means never again. Mike Caruso: Hate crimes based on religious and ethnic animus is now punishable up to a third degree felony. Florida is saying no to hate. Massie struck a nerve with Israel Firsters earlier this year after he told Tucker Carlson that every GOP member of Congress has an “AIPAC babysitter” who guides them on how to vote in the interests of Israel.
“It’s the only country that does this,” Massie said. AF Post: Congressman Thomas Massie reveals to Tucker Carlson that his Republican colleagues have an “AIPAC babysitter” to ensure they vote in the interests of Israel at all times. “It’s the only country that does this,” Massie adds.
AIPAC dumped over $300,000 into attack ads targeting Massie earlier this year but he still managed to win his primary election.
