according to Mrs. Betty Bowers on bluesky:
On Gaza: "Just flatten it like we flattened Tokyo and Berlin."
On the Iran War: "We are going to make tons of money."


These are truly radical comments. He was getting worse with age.

I have no interest in his personal life and, especially at a time like this, feel comments about that are inappropriate. But he was not in any way the politician some remember when he used to pal around with McCain. He was truly extreme and getting worse, and I think there should be some acknowledgement of that.
