A curious coalition is raising eyebrows among conservatives after Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was photographed meeting with the Integrity Political Action Committee (IPAC) — an organization that recently formed a “new coalition” with the Democratic Socialists of America to oppose ICE’s “crackdown on immigration violations.”
A photo posted online shows Massie smiling beside IPAC chairman Rafed Aljoboury in a Pennsylvania home. One week earlier, Aljoboury donated $500 to Massie’s campaign, according to finance records. Aljoboury, who compared ICE agents to Nazis — saying, “They are honestly acting more like Gestapo” — has publicly praised Massie, calling his reelection a priority for the group.
While IPAC describes itself as “dedicated to influencing political causes that promote the common good,” its social media tells a different story. The group’s X account amplifies anti-Semitic and pro-terror content, including posts by self-described communist Jackson Hinkle and conspiracy theorist Stew Peters, who claimed, “President John F. Kennedy was assassinated… by Jews and by their shabbos goys.”
Massie told the Washington Free Beacon he is “not familiar with the Integrity Political Action Committee” or its stance on immigration, emphasizing that he “feel[s] strongly that we should stop illegal immigration.”
The meeting comes as President Donald Trump’s team works to unseat Massie in a 2026 primary, criticizing the Kentucky lawmaker as the “worst Republican Congressman” for his frequent opposition to administration-backed bills.
Despite labeling himself “Kentucky’s most conservative congressman,” Massie’s growing ties to IPAC donors — many of whom have Democratic or socialist backgrounds — are fueling questions about his political alliances.
