Far-left California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna is once again exposed as a serial fabricator after his team who accompanied him released video of the West Bank incident that flatly contradicts his dramatic claims of being “detained” by armed settlers and the IDF.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Khanna tried to sneak into a closed military zone in the West Bank for an anti-Israel photo-op without proper coordination.
The Israel Defense Forces have disputed Khanna’s characterization of the incident, stating that troops responded after receiving reports that Israeli civilians were blocking foreign visitors’ vehicles and that soldiers dispersed those civilians. The IDF has also said Khanna’s visit had not been coordinated with Israeli authorities.
He then ran to the cameras claiming violent settlers with American-made M4s and IDF soldiers detained him and other Americans, blocked their vehicle, laughed at them, and showed “arrogance of power.”
He demanded prosecutions and used the episode to push his usual America-last narrative against Israel
Now the video his own side released tells a different story. The footage simply does not support the narrative he sold to the media.
