Pro-Israel billionaires spent over $1.5 million in 38 days to oust Thomas Massie

MAGA KY, a super PAC funded by out-of-state, pro-Israel billionaires, spent $1.56 million between June 27 and Aug. 4 on TV and digital advertisements opposing the reelection of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who made waves by asserting that the United States should end all military aid to Israel in May, campaign finance records show.

A trio of pro-Israel billionaires, none of whom are from Kentucky, is responsible for funding the PAC. New York’s Paul Singer, a prominent hedge fund manager, granted the committee a million dollars; fellow hedge fund manager John Paulson of Florida shelled out $250,000; and Preserve America PAC, which is primarily funded by GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson of Nevada, donated $750,000 to the anti-Massie effort.
