Speaker Mike Johnson is slamming Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's claim that his Israel aid bill contains a "poison pill."
"If you ask people at the Pentagon, under oath or in a moment of truth, they will tell you the greatest threat to our national security is our own debt," Johnson told Fox News Digital in an interview Tuesday.

"It is in our national interest to support our great ally and friend Israel in their time of need. But we also have to keep our focus on our own financial stability. And so those things must happen simultaneously." Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
