‘A Matter Of Good Versus Evil’: Speaker Johnson Supports Israel Aid

Recently, newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson demonstrated his support for Israel amid the ensuing violent conflict between the Jewish nation and Hamas. When speaking with Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany, Johnson emphasized the need for providing aid to Israel, labeling its conflict with the terrorist group as “a matter of good versus evil.”

The former White House Press Secretary under President Trump questioned Johnson on when a vote could be expected on the proposition of an Israel aid package. The House Speaker indicated he was anticipating the vote to occur soon.

“Let’s talk about one of those areas of common ground, potentially: this Israel aid package, stand-alone Israel aid. The reporting is that there will be a vote, hopefully Thursday. Is that the time that you’re looking at?” McEnany asked. “I’m hoping Thursday,” Johnson replied.

McEnany further inquired if Johnson was expecting bipartisan support behind the initiative, stating, “It looks like $14.5 billion is the number that you’re looking at. And you suggest that maybe you’ll get a bipartisan vote here,” she said. “I sure hope so,” Johnson responded.

While some Democrats have voiced their support for Israel after the deadly attack perpetrated by Hamas, there is a noticeable partisan trend of woke politicians expressing anti-Israel sentiment. This stance has been explicitly demonstrated by members of “The Squad,” such as Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who have drawn criticism over their recent comments.
