On June 18, US Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, one of the few Republicans openly critical of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), claimed that every Republican in Congress has an AIPAC 'babysitter.' Massie's remarks have sparked a debate, with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro defending AIPAC's involvement in US politics on June 21. Shapiro argued that AIPAC 'babysitters' are not 'handlers' but constituents who support AIPAC's cause. On June 22, in response to AIPAC's influence, Massie hung an 'America First' sign on his congressional office door and banned AIPAC lobbyists from entering.

Ben Shapiro claims that an AIPAC handler is just a well-meaning "constituent" lobbying their congressmen. Not a babysitter who bribes congressmen, as Congressman Thomas Massie claims. https://t.co/6UmyNhlPs8
