Republicans have been silent in response to Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg’s recent comments that the conflict in Gaza should end “like Nagasaki and Hiroshima.”
A video posted on X on Friday showed Walberg at a recent town hall in his district, answering a constituent’s question about President Joe Biden’s plan to build a port to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Walberg responded that the U.S. should not “be spending a dime” on humanitarian aid and then referenced the atomic bombs dropped over the two Japanese cities toward the end of World War II that killed hundreds of thousands of people.
“Get it over quick,” he said.
