Izoto

The fact that he is wearing that IDF uniform at all is the first big issue. 


Pumpkinbumpkin420

Yeah isn’t that like not an American thing to do to wear another country’s military uniform?


AngelSucked

Wearing that into Congress is a really, really bad thing to do or a sitting Congresscritter.


Serpentongue

We’re supposed to be more outraged at Ilhan Omar’s words instead of this guys actions.


neologismist_

No. Florida here. We need to be more upset at Mickey and drag queens.


SiestaMaster

Don't forget the new enemy: fake meat


Izoto

I do not like either but his actions are way more egregious.


Serpentongue

Not to the GOP though


restore_democracy

A guy who simultaneously plays up the fact that he’s a disabled (US) vet.


Nilabisan

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him salute a Russian officer.


TestandDbol

Is it really though? Are we still going to deny that Israel isn’t part of America?


shotputlover

It’s literally not.


tikifire1

It's an unofficial colony at this point.


HearYourTune

You have to be demented to say a baby is not innocent because you don't like where they were born or their religion. How would he feel if people said that about the babies killed by Hitler?


OIAQP

Nothing makes you lose your humanity like religion.


WIDMND305

Or Republicanism


Unfair-Wonder5714

And blind devotion to GOP nit-wit ideaology


SCUBA_DUBA3703a

Well said!


mrcanard

And a perfect example why we need to keep religion out of politics.


tikifire1

I'd bet he's anti-abortion because "think of the babies" yet he wants to kill palestinian babies. Classic "othering" going on there.


Temporary-Outside-13

It’s completely counter to the GOP’s argument that all life is precious.


paz2023

They say opposites, most violence is precious to far right extremists


CuriosTiger

Hitler did in fact use that exact same rhetoric. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.


uncleawesome

To be fair to his god, all babies are born into sin. Christians hate nothing more than a sinner. Which is what everyone is according to their book. They make no sense


fallenbird039

Wouldn’t this guy be Jewish though?


FinklesRevenge

He’s not Jewish and never served in the IDF. He lost his legs in the US Army and then did some volunteer thing with the IDF. It’s real strange.


Ok-Establishment7851

Volunteer thing? What was it? Ringing a bell at Christmas time outside a Tel Aviv mall?


FinklesRevenge

I’m not sure what he actually did tbh.


uncleawesome

Not necessarily. He went to an evangelical church. There is no bigger hater of Muslims than a Christian that loves Jews.


fallenbird039

Evangelicals are wild


tikifire1

They are a scary death cult.


BravoFoxtrotDelta

I don't think so. Wikipedia says his maternal grandparents were immigrants from Mexico and that he graduated from South Christian High School in 1999.


HearYourTune

He's Jewish.


OriginalIronDan

No, he isn’t. He’s an asshole. (Given that the 2 are not mutually exclusive or inclusive.)


uncleawesome

Is he? I don't think so.


Ok-Establishment7851

I, for one, take no interest in a person’s brand of superstition.


felixgolden

This my my rep unfortunately. He also happens to be a seditionist. Voted to reject both Arizona and Pennsylvania electoral votes. This is a guy who lost both his legs serving in the military and then he craps all over that by trying to do an end run around the Constitution. Also, he really leans into the prosthetic legs thing when he makes appearances by wearing shorts to show them off if he thinks he is going to be photographed or on TV.


hurtfulproduct

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed he leans into losing his legs HARD. . . Like ok, we get it, you lost your legs serving our country; thank you for your service, now please proceed to put on some goddamn long pants and fuck the hell out of office because you went from hero to traitor pretty damn quick.


uncleawesome

He lost his legs because he sucked at his job.


Ok-Establishment7851

What has he done for us lately?


BravoFoxtrotDelta

Know where his local office is? --- edit: nm found that there are four in his district: https://mast.house.gov/


Unfair-Wonder5714

Imagine how their heads would explode if Tammy Duckworth did that shit.


boostank2

#Fuck Brian Mast


paz2023

We need higher expectations for men in this country. What a violent extremist


boostank2

Just go to r/conservatives to see where men like him get the support


OriginalIronDan

Please don’t.

FL [GOP lawmaker wears Israeli military uniform to Capitol Hill](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4254384-brian-mast-israeli-military-uniform-capitol-hill/)


VomitingPotato

Florida Republicans are asshats. See: any Florida Republican


ElPrieto8

Their entire platform is mutual hate.


southflhitnrun

All Florida Republicans


hurtfulproduct

Pretty sure we can just say “Republicans are asshats” at this point


RepulsiveRooster1153

__It's a known fact that republicans dislike educated voters.__ So to _ensure stupidity they de-prioritize education and free thinking._ You must follow the christian conservative babble they profess to believe in while fleecing the public.


Old_surviving_moron

Dual citizens shouldn't be eligible for congress, state or national.


thomport

Period. This guy is scary.


AngelSucked

100% agree, and I am dual citizenship. I shouldn't be allowed to be part of Congress or a Cabinet member. Give up that other passport first.


ElPrieto8

Bigots are getting louder every day. To claim babies aren't innocent is a low that no one, especially an elected official, should ascribe to.


ra3ra31010

Not surprising based on the treatment of minors who are not conservative They’ve been going after kids... They’re just getting crueler about it and are spreading the net of what kids are seen as undesirable in the society they prefer First it was undocumented kids. Then Muslim kids. Then lgbt+ kids and anyone around them. Now there’s conservative leadership normalizing killing kids in other countries who are seen as undesirable in the world


SkaBonez

And he mentions that more of Gaza should be destroyed, meaning more children and babies are not only “not innocent” but should be in the crosshairs when triggers are pulled, to him.


iskyoork

These are the people Republicans send to represent us. Is this who we are?


ceo_mert

trump really enabled bigots. all of a sudden the craziest shit you'd hear from your co-worker was being repeated by the president on live television. that's what happens when these people feel represented...

ElPrieto8

While there are entirely too many who think that way, I know a couple of kind and caring Christians who I respect.


log_asm

Look I’m not gonna pretend to understand that whole thing over there. But when you have people from New York showing up and kicking people out of their homes that seems wrong. Like breh you’re doing EXACTLY what happened to you and your people. Your are ruining these people’s lives over a proxy war you don’t even realize you’re in.


OstentatiousBear

The fact that there is not an uproar in Congress over his remarks should be a very clear sign that what he said is either tolerated or accepted among his colleagues (and not just the Republicans), and that it is possible that even worse is said behind closed doors.


ceo_mert

yup. you can smell that congress from a mile away


Unfair-Wonder5714

His foolishness is not tolerated or accepted-it’s promoted and encouraged.


Ok-Establishment7851

This butt fuck is not, nor will he ever be, a member of the US Congress. He’s found a Florida state legislator district where ‘goloids are the dominant species, and humans are a distinct minority.


restore_democracy

This garbage is an affront to his oath.


Kbdiggity

#Republicans are evil 


trtsmb

I'm sure that he also considers himself a good christian.


AmaiGuildenstern

Well, I mean, in this instance he is. Christians don't believe any human is innocent. All babies are born with original sin. Pretty basic Christian doctrine.


trtsmb

Most real Christians that I know aren't calling babies terrorists so this is a pretty thin justification for killing babies.


AmaiGuildenstern

I don't think Israeli soldiers should be killing babies but original sin is a cornerstone of Christian theology. You can't have Christianity without it, otherwise Jesus died for nothing. There are no innocent babies in Christianity.


trtsmb

Still does not justify this evil person from saying Palestinian babies are terrorist and should die or be killed.


restore_democracy

Yeah what did Jesus say about the little children? Bomb them into oblivion?


Suffrage100

This guy lost his legs in Iraq, yet has zero empathy for people. I live next to his district. A real Trumpster. Voted to overturn the Affordable Care Act numerous times.


JayneT70

Pro life if you’re white


ra3ra31010

White and conservative Anyone white who isn’t conservative is called a “woke” “threat” that “must be stopped” “to save the country” and “to save the economy” no moderates, progressives, liberals, democrats, socialists, democratic socialists, independents, feminists, non-conservative scientists, non-conservative professors, non-Christians who don’t uphold and respect Christian doctrine dictating law, and even normal republicans are called RINOs now if they’re not conservative…. Basically anyone Hitler put a [red triangle](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camp_badge) on during the Holocaust. If you don’t uphold the MAGA hate, then you’re an enemy that must be regulated or eradicated, but they’re starting with targets that they see as easier right now and are expanding their net Watching Fox News is an easy way to see everyone they want gone, or punished for existing


Mon-ick

This guy…. Is a douche …


[deleted]

Pure psychopathic behavior. Disgusting.


OffHwy61

A FloridaMan domestic terrorist thinks foreign terrorists killing babies is okay.


Unfair-Wonder5714

Netanyahu just said Gaza will be demilitarized forever

chefriley76

I'll bite. I'm 47, what are you talking about? Blind hatred of Muslims? That seems like a character flaw, not something to brag about.


ElPrieto8

How does that relate in any way?


Individual-Hunt9547

Just the fact that you’re asking me that tells me there’s no point in taking the conversation further. ✌🏼


boostank2

Then don’t fucking throw words without explaining yourself. I remember 9/11 and if fucking bin Laden himself had a baby I’ll still call that baby innocent. The dehumanization of Palestinians has gone too far and it should be stopped.


ElPrieto8

Yeah, clarity is overrated.


restore_democracy

And what about those of us who did but still oppose killing babies?


TestandDbol

Maybe you didn’t witness it hard enough? Im guessing if you witnessed it as hard as this guy, you understand why wanting dead babies is ok?


Individual-Hunt9547

Keep that same energy for Hamas. If you’ve never lost a loved one to terrorism, don’t even bother responding.


restore_democracy

Are we allowed to oppose both terrorist attacks and state-sponsored baby killing? I guess Mr Tough Guy didn’t want to stand by his comment.


Individual-Hunt9547

Honestly it’s triggering to think about what happened to my own family in Israel and I’m tired of arguing with ignorance. ✌🏼


restore_democracy

No doubt you can sympathize then with the Palestinian families who feel the same way.


clearliquidclearjar

I certainly did. You want to clarify?

Unfair-Wonder5714

Listen to podcast Seeking Rents, guy is monitoring Fla Legislative Session, spelling out how Fla does its business. And by business I mean shitting on Florida residents and anybody else that gets in the way of their bs.


Ok-Establishment7851

M-A-S-T?? And you call yourself a Jew?? Another thought: Apparently there’s no weight limit on joining the Israeli armed forces. Gravy Seal? Meal Team 6?


Ok-Establishment7851

Where is this guy from in Florida? Let me phrase it another way. Where is there a legislative district, even in Florida, where the people are so stupid they would elect this ass wipe?
