(snip) -- Purple Heart recipient gave Congress the 2-minute silent treatment over Iran. A Republican lawmaker and US Army veteran spent roughly two minutes of his allotted speaking time in silence during a House hearing yesterday.

“If you walk about this hallway … you’re going to come to several beautiful walls that have the names of our fallen service members from the war on terror,” Mast said. “And I would ask, can any of you provide me with one name on that wall that doesn’t justify killing Soleimani?”

“I got two minutes and 30 seconds. I’ll be more than happy to sit here and wait,” Mast added, before the silence. “Somebody provide me with a name on that wall that does not justify his killing.”

“I’m continuing, Mr. Chairman. I got two minutes remaining,” Mast said. “I will sit here and wait for somebody to provide me with a name on that wall that does not justify the killing of Soleimani.”

“Thank you, Mr. Mast,” Engel said. “I think you have made your point.”

The hearing briefly went off the rails as the two lawmakers had a heated exchange on decorum.

“Mr. Chairman, I have not yielded back my time,” Mast said.

Mast is 100 times a greater American than the entire Democrat traitor caucus.

Only small news outlets covered it. No one knows about it.
PDJT should tweet it to give it some light.

Can they clone this guy?

I saw an episode of the series “Warfighters” where Mast and his platoon-mates described the event that resulted in his injuries. I was humbled by their heroism and sacrifice each of them showed. And to find out Brian Mast now is an elected official gave me such a profound happiness. This recent event didn’t surprise me because it’s how Mast is. Thank you, sir. May you keep doing what this country needs.

Agreed.
