Does This Mahrouq Money Explain Thomas Massie?
2026-03-10
[PJ] Rep. Thomas Massie(R-Ky.) hasn't made any friends in the White House this year with his strong — and sometimes worrisome — opposition to Operation Epic Fury. Why worrisome? Well, that's where "follow the money" comes in.

Skipping down to the BLUF:

That's where the money part gets interesting, because the Kentucky Republican gets a lot of it from an unusual source — the Mahrouq family of Texas.

After fleeing Jordan, "Sam Hussein Mahrouq built a large business empire, starting with auto dealerships," Stock Mom reported on X. "His companies now include MEI Auto Finance, iKON Technologies insurance, and major real estate projects like the Caravan Court Hotel redevelopment. The family has also been active in local philanthropy in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, much of which is pro-Islam leaning."

Nothing sinister there, I suppose, but Stock Mom also noted — and the public record backs this up — who else the Mahrouqs give to:

For over ten years, the family has maxed out donations to the most anti-Israel progressives in Congress. They have given heavily to Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and others. They also donated large sums to American Priorities PAC, where Sam Mahrouq gave 100k and smaller amounts to Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption. American Priorities PAC is a super PAC created specifically to fight AIPAC influence and support candidates who want to restrict aid to Israel. These groups push extreme anti-Israel agendas and team up with far-left organizations such as Justice Democrats.
