At Congressman Dana Rohrabacher’s annual birthday party, Rep. Brian Mast, a Purple Heart recipient who lost both legs in Afghanistan, delivered a moving speech about his belief in American opportunity and exceptionalism. Drawing on his own experience of serving in Afghanistan and being severely wounded by a Taliban IED, he reiterated that America faces threats both home and abroad, and that we must stick together as one nation, even in difficult political times.
While Congressman Mast gave his emotional speech to a packed audience, four members of local leftist movements decided that they wanted to shut down the speech of this American hero, simply because is a Republican.
