What was said

"Someone you never heard of declined 8 debates and took $20 million in donations from AIPAC and won a primary from an 8-year constituent."

AIPAC openly claimed credit for defeating 8-year Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie in a primary race where his opponent received $20 million in support, declined all debates, and was largely unknown. The victory represents a naked display of money in politics, with demographic data showing younger voters overwhelmingly supported Massie while voters 65 and older delivered the decisive margin. Critics warn this will radicalize younger generations who consume information online and see such lobbying influence as corrupt.
