Hiroshima, Japan, is seen on Aug. 6, 1945, after a U.S. atomic bomb decimated the city. | U.S. Signal Corps/APRep. Tim Walberg on Sunday said that his recent comment that the war in Gaza should “be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima” was not meant to be taken literally.
“As a child who grew up in the Cold War Era, the last thing I’d advocate for would be the use of nuclear weapons. In a shortened clip, I used a metaphor to convey the need for both Israel and Ukraine to win their wars as swiftly as possible, without putting American troops in harm’s way,” Walberg said.
