Rep. Massie: ‘AIPAC Is Very Persuasive’

EXCERPT:

MASSIE: “Well, somebody was persuasive. APAC is very persuasive, for instance, the Israeli lobby in Congress. If you — if you look at my colleagues’ feeds now, there’s — they all look the same. They’re all tweeting the same message, that we’ve got to support Israel and we’ve got to do this. My question is, does, you know, three bombings and we’re done with Iran’s nuclear ambitions —”
BRENNAN: “Yes.”
MASSIE: “Is that the two weeks to slow the spread of 2025? Is this, you know, we were told two weeks to slow the spread then. Now we’re told it’s just going to take three bombings.”
BRENNAN: “So —”
MASSIE: “But what happens when Israel gets bombed again? Is — is Trump going to sit by and say, no, we’re not going to further engage in this war?”
BRENNAN: “I tried to get answers from the secretary on that question. But when you say the pro-Israel lobby, APAC, do you see a difference between Israel’s interests and American interests?”
MASSIE: “Absolutely. Yes. I mean, look, the — Iran — the reality is, they don’t have a missile that can reach the United States. They’re not near to getting a missile that can reach the United States. I think this — what has happened, what has transpired this week has been planned for months. That — that, you know, this administration, and maybe even the administration prior to that, said, you go in and soften them up, take out their air defense capabilities, and then we’ll send in the big bombers.”
