"Michigan GOP Congressman Sparks Controversy with Hiroshima Comparison for Gaza Conflict"

Republican Rep. Tim Walberg sparked controversy after appearing to suggest dropping bombs on Gaza "like Nagasaki and Hiroshima" to quickly end the conflict, referencing US atomic strikes against Japan during WWII. He made the comments during a town hall event while discussing US aid to Gaza, and later clarified that he was speaking metaphorically and not advocating for the use of nuclear weapons. Walberg also mentioned a similar approach for Ukraine in dealing with Russia, emphasizing the need for swift resolution to minimize innocent lives caught in the crossfire.
