Mike Johnson’s Secret West Bank Tour: Speaker or Spy?
House Speaker Mike Johnson went all James Bond on us with an unannounced trip to the West Bank, accompanied by a Republican squad so Texan they should have ridden horses. Organized by a conservative group, this 'private visit' led him to boldly declare the territory as 'the rightful property of the Jewish people.' The Israeli embassy was as blindsided as your ex texting at 2 AM, saying they had zero prep on this 'totally secret' trip. Johnson’s visit isn’t official, but he’s hanging around Israel until August 10, checking settlements, meeting ministers, and probably plotting his next surprise cameo.
