2023-11-03 Mike Johnson went to Palestine with Jim Jordan and said citizens aren’t oppressed: report Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) took a trip to the Palestinian Territories with Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), where he met up with extremist groups and proclaimed that there’s no oppression in the area, reported Mother Jones on Friday. The trip took place in 2020, when the two lawmakers were in the minority and Johnson was an obscure backbencher.
“In February of that year, Johnson traveled to Israel with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio),” reported David Corn. “The sponsor for this trip was the New York-based 12Tribe Films Foundation, a small outfit that that describes itself as ‘online warriors for truth about Israel and the Jewish people.’ The organization spent $34,520 — about one-quarter of its revenue that year — to fly the two lawmakers and their wives to Israel and host them for the week-long trip.” https://www.rawstory.com/johnson-and-jordan-go-to-palestine/
