So I want to point out, I was also completely correct in my political analysis of the broader context here.

And let's be totally clear about it.

I am not denying in the least that pro-Israel donors wanted to take Massey out.

I'm not denying that at all.

It's a little complicated because Massey's biggest...

donors wanted to take Massey out.

I'm not denying that at all.

It's a little complicated because Massey's biggest individual backer was ardently pro-Israel.

That's a slight confounding factor, but it's true.

AIPAC wanted to take Massey out.

Massey out.

But that was not the chief takeaway.

And my proof of this is all of the other races, all of the other primaries that Trump intervened in, you can say the Israel issue was a big factor in the Massey race.

How do you explain Brad Raffensperger in Georgia?

Israel didn't play a single role in that election.

That primary race was about Raffensperger's reaction to the 2020 presidential election.

How do you explain Bill Cassidy's Senate primary?

Bill Cassidy's Senate primary had nothing whatsoever to do with Israel.

He just irritated Trump by turning against him, turning against him on the issue of impeachment.

How do you explain the five Indiana state legislators who went down in their primary campaigns in all the races that Trump intervened in?
