A claim that pro-Israel money was used to push Congressman Thomas Massie out of his Kentucky seat, framed as bad for foreign-aid critics.

• Thomas Massie, a longtime critic of US aid to Israel, faces a primary challenge backed by Trump and allies.
• Tens of millions of dollars are said to be flowing in to beat him in Kentucky's fourth district.
• The claim is that pro-Israel interests are driving the spending, not local concerns.
• The argument: the US gets little of value from Israel compared to the cost in American lives and dollars.

Outlook: If the money holds, Massie could lose his seat, removing one of Congress's few voices against foreign aid to Israel.
