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."

Frankly, I’d have cheered if Mast had stood up and knuckle-sandwiched the whiny little pr*ck.
We’re way past politeness and playing nicey-nice with these fascist dem buttwipes.
Awesome video.
Very stupid!!!
What bunch of pompous prima donnas. Everything is about drama to these clowns,
