Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”
Most of his Israel content is about the lobby and the terms of the alliance; in October 2026 he also attacked his opponent’s votes for Israel’s military aid, citing war crimes. His platform plank “Cut Back AIPAC's Influence” says AIPAC and similar groups “must register as foreign agents,” and his February 2026 site said foreign agents should “face deportation to their country of loyalty,” naming “AIPAC, the Israel lobby, which has too much influence in our politics.” A libertarian-leaning Republican running on sound money and abolishing the Federal Reserve, he faces Rep. Alma Adams. Asked in his 2026 general-election iVoterGuide questionnaire whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, he answered: “It needs to be more balanced to be considered an alliance.” In his answers for WSOC-TV’s candidate guide, published October 14, 2026, he turned to “the Israel War”: Adams “knows Israel is committing war crimes,” he wrote, yet in July she “voted against defunding our aid to Israel’s military” while promoting the Block the Bombs Act, which he said “doesn’t really block any bombs.” At an October 8 candidate forum, WFAE reported, he held up a photo of Adams meeting Netanyahu in 2023, criticized her votes for the 2024 aid package and against the July amendment cutting $3.3 billion for Israel, and said, “This is an example of Congresswoman Adams saying one thing but her actions are doing something else for a foreign country.”
A thin 3. His words on aid come as attacks on Rep. Alma Adams: in WSOC-TV’s candidate guide (October 2026) he wrote that she “knows Israel is committing war crimes” yet in July “voted against defunding our aid to Israel’s military,” and that Block the Bombs “doesn’t really block any bombs”; at an October 8 forum he faulted her vote for the 2024 aid package. That argues against Israel’s military aid on its conduct, but as a charge against her rather than a pledge of his own, which holds him at 3. Most of his Israel content is about the lobby (AIPAC “must register as foreign agents”) and the terms of the alliance (“It needs to be more balanced to be considered an alliance,” iVoterGuide 2026), and he has said nothing about Palestinians. Counter-case: 3/4, if the attack is read as his own end to aid argued on Israel’s conduct.
