MAGA Influencers Tour Gaza Warzone, Twitter Melts Down

In an effort to 'address Republican divisions,' Israel rolled out the red carpet—security and all—for 15 MAGA influencers on a fact-finding trip funded with a no-bid $70,000 contract. Attendees like Jayne Zirkle claim the only way to form an opinion is to 'see something for yourself,' despite losing Steve Bannon's podcast endorsement and riling up their followers. The trip showcased everything from holy sites to war-torn areas, proving you can mix tourism with geopolitics and still upset fans. Meanwhile, Gen Z MAGA folks are skeptical enough to call out the 'woke right.' Who knew foreign policy could look like reality TV drama?
