House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said his sons almost drowned after he had dinner with former President Trump at his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida last fall, according to a new profile on Johnson by The Atlantic.
The Speaker visited Palm Beach, Fla., the week of Thanksgiving for a fundraiser, and he and his sons had dinner with the former president while on the trip, according to The Atlantic. The following day, Johnson’s security detail came into a conference room when he was meeting with donors at a hotel near the beach and told him “Mr. Speaker, we need you right now.”
According to The Atlantic profile, a riptide had swept out the Speaker’s sons. Johnson told the publication that one of his teenage sons, Will, was drowning, and the other, Jack, attempted to get his brother to the surface. Will’s head was seen by a parasailer, who then was able to alert lifeguards who got on jet skis to get the boys. The Speaker came to the beach and discovered medical personnel surrounding his children, with the boys’ chests being pumped. The boys were in the emergency room for four hours before being allowed to go home.

This is kind of stupid. This has nothing to do with Trump or Mar-A-Lago.
It is The Hill trying to insinuate something but it is totally lame.
Perhaps Johnson needs to keep a better eye on his boys.
😂
Well done.😉
“Nice kids, Mr. Johnson. Shame if something were to happen to them...”
Where do these rags find these skanks who dumpster dive for Trump garbage in every dumpster they pass by?
Too bad he didn’t jump in to save them and drown himself in the process.
It’s not like it’s Trump’s fault. This is just a blatant attempt to smear Trump by implication.
They can’t find anything real to pin on him so they must go after fabricated innuendos.
Speaking of drowning, have they criticized Ted Kennedy yet?
Nah. Riptides are dangerous. Not everything is a conspiracy.
It’s ‘the hill’.
I could GAS about their fawning post made for the benefit of johnson.
Notably, the author fails to ask the question burning in my mind...
Best post on this thread.
This occurs daily along the coast. Smart swimmers are aware of what’s happening, and how to avoid it.
