“It’s bigger than that.”
“Here’s what happens behind the scenes … ”
“Three of my consultants have quit on my campaign, all three for the same reason.”
“They were told: your other 30 clients will fire you if you keep working for Massie.”
“They make it hard to hire people.”
“I really love the consultants I got now, because they’re the ones who said: screw you, I’m gonna work for Massie brcause I believe in what he’s doing, and I’m good enough at my job, I’ll go find some other clients if you clowns fire me.”
“I’ve got 15,000 donors across the United States. My average donation is $80.”
“Is that because I don’t want millionaires to give to a super PAC and to help me?”
“No. I’ll take all the help I can get.”
“The problem is, if you’ve reached some degree of success where you have a million-dollar disposable income, you probably can’t afford to tick off this administration, or they will come at your business.”
“You won’t get the permits you need to do the business.”
“Over the MAGA split and on foreign policy, there are people of great means … who could put money in my race and post up against the Israel First billionaires.”
“But they’re staying on the sidelines, because their business will get ruined.”
