‘Disgusting Human Being’: Rep Bowman Tears into Nikki Haley for Writing ‘Finish Them!’ on Israeli Bomb
Image shows Republican autographing rocket presumed for assault on Rafah
A Democratic congressman is condemning one-time Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley for writing, “Finish them!” on an Israeli rocket presumably used in the ongoing assault on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.
Haley, who unsuccessfully opposed Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, was seen autographing Israeli munitions as she toured sites near the northern border with Lebanon.
Israel is in the midst of military operations in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas. Its campaign against Gaza has killed more than 36,000 Palestinians — mostly civilians including young children and women.
Rep Jamaal Bowman, a New York progressive currently fighting for his seat in Congress in a tight Democratic primary, spoke out against the Israeli military campaign — and Haley’s words on the rocket, an image of which was posted on social media by an Israeli politician accompanying the former ambassador to the United Nations.
“U.S. weapons are burning infant children alive, and so he has to respond. We cannot send another weapon or another dollar to Israel and [Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu at this point because they have been moving forward with what the [International Court of Justice] has called a plausible genocide,” said Bowman, running against Westchester County Executive George Latimer in the June primary election. “And everyone sees it, my district sees it, the country sees it, and we have to stop and we need a permanent ceasefire.”
“Nikki Haley is disgusting. She’s a disgusting human being to do that. That’s genocidal language,” Bowman added. “And it’s a language that has the American people turning against our government. Why do we continue to support not just the consistent attacks in Gaza, but the forever wars?
“There are people in our country, their entire lives — me included — seems like we’re constantly at war with someone, spending trillions, killing millions, while people are suffering and starving and dying right here in our country,” he said. “That is gross. That is disgusting. And Nikki Haley should be ashamed of herself.”
