The crisis in the Middle East has somehow gotten worse!
In what is either a blatant attempt to pander to his anti-Muslim Judeo-Christian political base and/or a clandestine mission to smuggle into the US ancient Biblical artifacts for Hobby Lobby, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt recently put on his fancy blue vest jacket and tagged along with Texas Governor Greg Abbott to Isreal.
For those keeping score at home, this was the Governor’s second trip to the Middle East in the last 12 months, occurring less than a year after he ventured to Qatar to catch the World Cup.

I’m in Israel with Governor Abbott to show our support and discuss partnerships with the Jewish people as they rebuild.

Listen, I know I’m not a politician who is gleefully content with being used as a prop by a foreign government that’s looking to drum up support with Evangelical conservatives in the United States, but why’d Stitt go on this trip?
