MAGA House Speaker Mike Johnson Meets With Pro-Israel Lobbyist John Hagee in DC

[C.Martel]

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday night met with pro-Israel lobbyist Pastor John Hagee of the front group “Christians United for Israel” to discuss sending billions of US taxpayer dollars and weapons aid to Israel.

As I highlighted yesterday, Hagee hyped Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel over the weekend as the “Gog and Magog War” from the Bible and said he was going to travel to DC to lobby Congress not to “deescalate” but instead support Israel’s war.

John Hagee’s “Christians United for Israel” is funded to the tune of millions of dollars by non-Christian Zionists Robert Shillman, the late Sheldon Adelson (now his wife Miriam) and Bernard Marcus.

Johnson is MAGA

The New House Speaker Is a Far-Right Extremist Who Helped Plot 2020 Coup
Republicans tapped Mike Johnson to lead the chamber after weeks of humiliating dysfunction following Kevin McCarthy's ouster

Johnson may lack seniority, but he has a hardline, fundamentalist, and Trump-friendly record — which garnered a nod of approval from the former president hours before the vote. Trump was quick to congratulate Johnson after he won the gavel. “Congratulations to Rep. Mike Johnson,” he wrote on Truth Social. “He will be a GREAT ‘SPEAKER.’ MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
