Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a U.S. Congress member representing New Jersey’s 12th district since 2015, recently expressed her views on various political issues through social media posts. Her comments touch upon international relations, domestic politics, and governmental accountability.

On March 25, 2025, Rep. Watson Coleman addressed the breaking of a ceasefire by Prime Minister Netanyahu, which was originally negotiated by the United States earlier in the year. She stated: "Last week, Prime Minister Netanyahu broke the ceasefire that the United States negotiated at the beginning of this year. Hundreds of Palestinians were killed by Israeli airstrikes, including the cousin of one of my constituents, and their infant son." She further mentioned holding a press conference to discuss these events.

The following day, on March 26, 2025, she commented on an unsubstantiated claim made by former President Trump regarding a crash at Reagan Airport. Rep. Watson Coleman remarked: "Trump made an unsubstantiated claim that diversity, equity, and inclusion was responsible for the tragic crash at Reagan Airport. I asked the @NTSB chair if they'd found any evidence of that in their investigation. Her answer was... not great."

Later on March 26, she shared her thoughts on what she described as a conspiracy involving illegal military actions and efforts to evade congressional oversight: "This is a lie. People can read the messages for themselves. This was a conspiracy to flout Congress to engage in illegal military actions, prevent a record of their crimes by using an unsecured app, and then cover it all up." She concluded with a call for accountability.
