Thomas Massie
“Let’s fire Massie,” an advertisement states bluntly.
“The Constitution does not permit the executive branch to unilaterally commit an act of war against a sovereign nation that hasn’t attacked the United States,” said Rep. Thomas Massie.
“It is deeply troubling that in his first tweet in 2025, Rep. Thomas Massie continues his obsession with Israel and antisemitic tropes,” the organization wrote.
The Kentucky congressman’s use of an image prompted criticism from both the White House and “Breitbart News.”
“I am disappointed that 106 of my colleagues failed to take this opportunity to condemn antisemitism forcefully,” said Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), a co-sponsor.
All of the other 412 House members who voted supported the Jewish state.
“To suggest there is not a need to combat anti-Semitism is not only offensive, but it’s also simply ignorant,” said Rabbi Shlomo Litvin, chairman of the Kentucky Jewish Council and director of Chabad of the Bluegrass, after Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was the only member of Congress to oppose the resolution.
Rabbi Shlomo Litvin, a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary in Kentucky, called the comparison“horrific,” saying “it’s ahistorical and amoral.”
He was the sole Republican vote against the overwhelmingly passed July 2019 resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives condemning the anti-Israel BDS movement and voted against the Never Again Education Act in January that seeks to expand Holocaust education in America.
“The bottom line is that [he] chose not to stand with his colleagues and speak out, in one voice, against BDS,” said Republican Jewish Coalition spokesperson Neil Strauss. “This resolution did not appropriate a single taxpayer dollar; it didn’t infringe on a single citizen’s civil rights.”
