Moving Moment: Congressman Scorches Dem Opposition to Killing Soleimani Without A Single Word
World Net Daily ^ | 1/15/2020 | WND Staff

Posted on 01/15/2020 11:34:05 AM PST by Maudeen

Seldom, if ever, has such a powerful point been made by a Congress member without saying anything.

'I will note that there was no response'

In fact, the tool U.S. Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., used to show the value of President Trump's decision to kill Iranian terror leader Qassem Soleimani was silence.

See the powerful moment:

@RepBrianMast asks for name of fallen service member that doesn't justify Soleimani killing: "I will sit here and wait..." [silence]

@RepEliotEngel: "Thank you, Mr. Mast, I think you've made you're point…"

Mast, a retired U.S. Army bomb technician and Purple Heart recipient who lost his legs because of the likes of Soleimani, challenged Democrats who have complained that taking out Soleimani made the Middle East less stable.

The Business Insider reported he asked during a congressional hearing: "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. And I would ask, can any of you provide me with one name on that wall that doesn't justify killing Soleimani?" He said he had two and a half minutes left of his time and would wait for a response. "Somebody provide me with a name on that wall that does not justify his killing."

Mast made a very good point and I’m glad he did but I’ll stop short of saying we need more like him. He is a gun controller and I’ll never agree with him on that.

I’ve never enjoyed anything more. That’s what I’m talking about when I say we need fresh, YOUNG and REAL Conservative blood in the Republican Party. Get those damn old farts OUT and replace them with those who aren’t afraid to step forward and show the left for what it is!! Thank you Rep. Mast!!

I didn’t realize that he was a gun control advocate. Perhaps you can help him out on his stance. BTW, the Democrat party is killing our country without even one shot. . .

I’ll bet nanzi had to physically put her hand over Omar’s mouth and whisper into her ear: “shut up! Don’t say a thing.”

And to that whiny POS that kept repeating “You’re out of order, Mr. Mast...”

I’ll give him “out of order”...

I wish someone would! How dare he!

Far more qualified people than me have tried to point out to Mast how wrong he is. Dan Bongino is one who is friendly with him and has tried to discuss it with him. Mast stands firm.

Well done! They couldn’t even look this man in the eye, nor could the speaker honor his time. Shame on the lot of them!

We need to contact his office to support him!
The people in Florida in his district
really need to support him.
What a brave man.
May God bless him.

"He is a gun controller and I’ll never agree with him on that."

If that's true, I will never understand how patriots like him don't support the right of individual self-defense. What goes wrong in such a mind? He and others just had proof how "carry" stopped the carnage in a church just days ago. It's been proven many times throughout the years.

There are countless examples from local/state LE and the FBI how a gun prevented the worse scenario. I read it almost every week right here.

U.S. Rep. Brian Mast, who once had an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, says Congress should — and will — pass new gun restrictions in the aftermath of the most recent mass shootings, in El Paso and Dayton. The South Florida Republican said universal background checks would become law. And, he said, restrictions on assault weapons could pass also.

South Florida Republican Congressman Brian Mast Predicts Washington Will Pass Meaningful Gun Laws After Mass Shooting

I respect that Mast has served our Country and lost both legs in the process but there is something about this guy that should not be trusted. I don’t want to expand on the things about him that bother me but suffice to say, this issue alone is big enough for me.
