Thomas Massie mocks pro-Israel lobby in concession speech

"I would have come out sooner but it took a while to find Ed Galrein in Tel Aviv." US Congressman Thomas Massie conceded defeat in what he called the most expensive congressional primary in modern US history, joking that it had taken him a while to reach his opponent Ed Galrein because he was "in Tel Aviv", calling attention to the nearly $35 million spent by his opposition to unseat him, the majority of it from pro-Israeli groups, according to reports. “It’s a referendum on Israel’s influence,” said Massie about his election in an interview before the vote. Massie had been one of President Donald Trump’s most prominent Republican critics in Congress over various topics, including the US-Israeli war with Iran.
