Massie has had a long history of anti-Semitic behavior which has only intensified since he lost a GOP primary for his seat back in May.
Among the 103 Democrats who sided with Massie was Adam Smith, a 30-year veteran of Congress in Washington's 9th District which covers parts of Seattle.
Smith, who is the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, had originally planned to vote against Massie's amendment but ceded that he voted in favor of Massie's because of threats of violence against him and his family by what he described as "the far left":
I am deeply concerned about the tactics used by those on the far left to advocate for cutting off aid to Israel. To date, my family and I have had our home vandalized, a fire has been set in my driveway, my neighbors’ lives have been disrupted by demonstrations in the middle of the night, town halls meant to be forums for dialogue have been shut down, and a staff member has been physically assaulted.
Guess what.
The tactics of the far left worked and they will continue to deploy these tactics against members of Congress and their families if it gets them their desired results.
If the far left is prepared to commit vandalism, arson and assault in the name of ending military aid to Israel then it is only a matter of time before they will commit murder. Perhaps an October 7th-style massacre.
Some Democratic member of Congress has to stand up to the far left and tell them what they can do with their violent tactics. Sadly, such profiles in courage are few and far between.
