Dem. Rep. to Peter Strzok: 'If I Could Give You a Purple Heart, I Would'
pjmedia.com ^ | 7/12/2018 | Tyler O'Neil

On Thursday, FBI agent Peter Strzok testified on Capitol Hill, answering questions about his anti-Trump bias and the investigation into alleged ties between Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia. Strzok gave conflicting explanations of his anti-Trump text messages and dodged important questions, but Democrats in Congress proved quite happy with his testimony.

"If I could give you a Purple Heart, I would. You deserve one," Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) told Strzok.

"This has been an attack on you [and] the investigation, to get to Russian collusion involved in our election which is what this committee should be looking at," the Democrat continued.

Cohen went on to characterize Trump's campaign — not the FBI agent whose texts explicitly promised to keep Trump from winning the election — as "a direct strike at democracy and what this country is about, free and fair elections."

He said this of a man who laughably argued that his anti-Trump texts did not indicate bias in his FBI investigation of Trump.

Maybe he and Bowe Bergdahl could share a Medal of Honor the next time we have a Democratic president.

Of course he would. Strzok was doing everything he could be prevent President Trump from becoming President. Naturally the dimoKKKRATs want to give him a Purple Heart for helping to get Hillary elected.

He got into this mess because he had a Purple Heart on.

Does anyone really think this country can be held together? These people are light years from reasonable and sane.

What a jerk. He has offended every service members that has ever received a Purple Heart. He should issue a public apology immediately.

He should get called out on this gaffe immediately by the MSM... Oh wait... They don’t know or care either...

Purple hearts are for combat wounds.

Still wonder how he keeps the seat.

He represents Memphis and his predessors were Harold Ford Jr and Sr for decades who were both black.

If judges and juries believed his testimony, the jails would be vacant.
