37. I know! Delicious 😋 😋 😋

Love it!

16. Lt. Col. Vindman

also refuses to gives Nunes information that he can leak to Trump.

[bitterross]

20. That's the most polite F-You I've heard recently

Vindman is my new hero. Perhaps he should have said that Nunes, in particular, and the Republicans in general cannot be trusted with confidential information.

[onetexan]

30. Nunes sounded like a complete dunce, grasping at straws

Vindman was fantastic , did not give an inch to this fool of a man nunes.

[orangecrush]

25. Watched 4 times

Damn, that was fun!

[Cha]

26. KR!

[gopiscrap]

4. does some one have a tape of that?

[lunatica]

18. See response #2

[beachbumbob]

5. Best line of the day so far.

[IcyPeas]

6. Lt. Col. Vindman deserves that title

he has worked his whole life in service.

[WePurrsevere]

7. Nunes knew he was being disrespectful in calling...

Vindman "Mr". It was deliberately done to try and downplay the Lt Colonel's status. Like most neo Cons Nunes is full of hooey and has no true respect for our military members and veterans.

[ChubbyStar]

8. He's full of shit

He has no respect for anyone, but his duplicitous RETHUG comrades.

[tblue37]

11. Bet he never expected to get called on it. nt

[WePurrsevere]

15. He's certainly stupid & full of himself enough to think he would. nt

[True Blue American]

12. Where did they find Caster?

He is one of the poorest Attorneys I have ever seen. 3 expressions,glare, look like he does not believe a word you say or smirk like he thinks he hit one. Which he never does.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

35. Nunes wasn't being just disrespectful,

he was being insulting.

[Baked Potato]

9. Disrespectful Cow says......

What ?

[PJMcK]

28. Moo

Best post of the thread, Potato.

[Baked Potato]

32. ...

[tblue37]

10. Oh, snap! nt

[True Blue American]

13. LOL

[dawg day]

14. It's instructive to see so many immigrants whose belief in American ideas is so deep...

and how shallow and self-serving so many "native-born" GOP people's belief in the US is.

I'm reminded of the Khan family, and the little constitution booklet he keeps with him all the time, and their son's ultimate sacrifice...

And we have a GOP president who has obviously never read the Constitution and made no sacrifices. And Nunes trying to insinuate the colonel has "dual loyalties' when it's pretty clear his dear leader's greatest loyalties are to Putin's Russia.

[onetexan]

31. Native born? more like naive-born

Product of a lack of diversity on so many levels.

[democratisphere]

19. Nunes has no respect for anyone but "individual-1".

Obviously Nunes doesn't even respect himself with his lying rant today!

[sandensea]

21. "This is America," Lt.Col. Vindman reminded Republicans. "Here, right matters."

There was applause from the audience.

[Scurrilous]

22. K&R

[calimary]

24. Hey, Vindman worked hard for that rank!

Even shed blood for it.

[sarge43]

39. You called it.

Above O-3 (captain or lieutenant) the promotion system starts turning red in tooth and claw. Anyone who makes it that far up the greasy pole has a right to strut it.

Plus he's combat infantry, not the safest MOS on the books.

So yeah, you will call him Lieutenant Colonel. He earned it.

[calimary]

40. Sir, yes sir.

[tymorial]

27. This is fantastic

Lol

[mr_lebowski]

29. Reminds me of this exchange from one of my favorite flicks ...

The Marquis: John, you look like a man who means to play hard.

The Duke: Do not presume to speak above your station, sir! I will have my rank from you!

The Marquis: Your Grace!

Now: name that flick!

[sellitman]

33. Nunes was trying

to get LT Col Vindman to out the whistleblower.

He failed miserably.

Hahahahhahahahahahahahahaha

[NCLefty]

34. You just KNOW if he had a Ukranian accent--or any accent--Republicans would try to play up his

foreign roots even harder with dog-whistles about his loyalties (which they already did).

[BootinUp]

36. Nunes isn't fit to lick LTC Vindman 's boots. Nt

[RichardRay]

38. The only thing he could have added...

...would have been to reach up and tap his shoulder boards as he said it. 🤣
