Can't EVEN Make This UP: Thomas Massie Blames Expensive Burritos on the Jews ... No, Really

Only Thomas Massie could look at families stretching ground beef with extra beans just to keep burrito night from breaking the bank and decide the real culprit is the Israeli lobby that sank $30 million into primarying him out of Congress — because apparently refusing to green-light more foreign aid packages is what really sent grocery prices into the stratosphere.

IT'S ALL A PLOT BY THE JEWS!

Surely they have some fancy 'make burritos more expensive for Americans' laser they're using, right?

While they’re telling you to put more beans in your beef so you can afford to make burritos for your family, remember the Israeli lobby spent $30 million to take me out of Congress because I wouldn’t vote for the things that have made your grocery bills so high.

This guy could stub his toe and he'd find a way to blame Israel for it.

Here's a simple new rule: If expensive burritos lead you to think about Israel, you are definitely an obsessed Antisemite. pic.twitter.com/K0u0yUVAM4

BINGO.

Did you know the Jews make Kosher burritos, so they won't even put cheese on their beans and beef?! It's outrageous. That's why they primaried you.

Ah yes, expensive burritos are the masterly plot *checks notes* of Israel.

Such a martyr aren't you. Can't even be a proper man.

It was all the burrito's fault, you guys.

Good point. They only needed to spend $3 million. You lost by 10 points lmao.

Ouch.

There’s a reason why you lost your primary, and Abdul El Sayed won his.

Unlike Democrats, Republicans aren’t choked full of Jew hating weirdos.
