Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., said he regrets telling FBI agent Peter Strzok in Thursday’s House Judiciary and House Oversight committee hearing that he deserves a Purple Heart medal for his testimony.
“I said something at the hearings yesterday about Purple Hearts which another network that is named for a four-legged animal has been making a big deal about,” Cohen told CNN, referring to criticism from Fox News.
“I regret using the term ‘Purple Heart,’” he continued. “I used it metaphorically, not literally. I never literally thought the Purple Heart should be given to agent Strzok. But I do believe that he was being attacked because the FBI and the Mueller investigation were under attack.”

I also watch that hearing and I will only say this. You Rep. Steve Cohen are a LIAR. Your so-called apology is a lie. You knew what was happening there and meant ever word you said.
Your disgraceful, demeaning words showed you total disrespect to all Military and Veterans. You are a total disgrace and I can’t imagine why the people of Tennessee allowed you in office. You are beneath contempt for you words and actions.
His voters are not white and he is not Christian
This mookabooker Cohen ought to be protested by Every recipient of an earned Purple Heart.
And maybe my congress critter Mast, a double amputee ought approach him in the chamber and bitch slap his sorry ass.
“don’t know why he would regret making the comment. It won’t hurt him at all in his campaign in that district”
Maybe he was eyeballing a Senate run. Which might prove fruitless given his statements last week.
He wouldn’t stand a chance in a state wide race before the statement
Yep, like Strzok you let your biases control your actions & words.
Cohen should resign!
Recently I spent some time in Memphis. Unlike almost everywhere I’ve been, I found nothing redeeming about the place. Looked like a war zone except for a very small area of mansions.
Not Tennessee, MEMPHIS! Big difference. The “Amish” vote there elected him.
What is it with “liberal” guys and those reddish plastic framed glasses? It’s like part of the uniform, or something.
Total idiot, 20 yrs state legislator, now US Rep, known for stupid remarks at midnight to a empty chamber, to be ‘on record’. SAFE BLACK/JEWISH DISTRICT. His opponent is a Black Business CONSERVATIVE GOP WOMAN.
LOVES TAX HIKES AND GUN CONTROL, NO PUNISHMENT OF CRIMINALS, ILLEGAL ALIENS. NEVER HELD A REAL JOB LONG, JUST GOVERNMENT ONES.
Of course he had to apologize. This illustrated that the leftist tyrants will be awarding their government employees who attack us anti-tyranny types.
D-Tenn...
THAT is the only reason he regrets it.
He regrets that it will cost him his seat in Congress.
Just check his facebook page if you are worried about that. The comments are priceless!
I am sorry that people this stupid are Americans.
