A congressional delegation consisting of Reps. Louie Gohmert, Michele Bachmann and Steve King has arrived in Beirut, Lebanon, according to Lebanese paper The Daily Star.

The Star reports that the three arrived from Cairo on Monday and were greeted at the airport by U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon David Hale.

Gohmert, Bachmann and King are some of the biggest Tea Party names in Congress. All have been major critics of the Obama administration’s Middle East policy, particularly the administration’s abandoned plan to intervene in Syria and its aid to Syrian rebels, which Bachmann called a sign of the “end times.”

Gohmert has made the plight of Christians in the Middle East a particular cause and met last week with Mother Agnes Mariam of the Cross, a Lebanese-born nun based in Syria, who has emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of the Syrian opposition. [Link]
