New House Speaker Mike Johnson is already tying Washington in new partisan knots.
The Republican majority’s rookie leader is painting deep red conservative lines on the blank page of his career in top-level politics, staking out a risky showdown with Democrats and even Senate Republicans over Israel funding that could either build his power base or fracture his authority from the start.
Jared Moskowitz of Florida, accused Republicans of politicizing aid for Israelis “in their greatest time of need.” He added: “They’re setting a political trap. It’s completely outrageous. It’s not serious policy,” he said. “I’m not falling for the trap, because they want us to vote no,” he said, vowing to back the Israel aid despite his opposition to trimming IRS funding.
