Christians consider the Sea of Galilee to be a holy site, but now it's more like a hottie site. A GOP lawmaker went skinny-dipping in the sea during a trip to Israel last year, an investigation by POLITICO has found. The incident occurred after GOP staff and their families took a night out on the town together in Israel. Alcohol was involved.
At the end of the night, more than 20 people took part in a late-night swim. While some of the swimmers were fully clothed or half-dressed, Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-Kan.) got completely naked, POLITICO reported. The FBI later investigated the incident.

Yoder has since publicly admitted that he dove into the sea "without a swimsuit."
"I feel incredibly remorseful that I have caused embarrassment to my constituents and I have caused folks who believe in me to be disappointed," Yoder told the The Kansas City Star. "Part of the reason I made that decision at that moment was there was really nobody in the vicinity who could see me," he added.
