FBI agent Peter Strzok took a beating from Republican lawmakers anxious to expose bias to the degree where Strzok’s dealings with investigations involving Hillary Clinton and the Trump administration be declared null and void. Despite overwhelming evidence of Strzok’s flagrant arrogance and bias, Democrats cheered their new hero for his repeated denial throughout the hearing.
But, Tenn Rep. Steve Cohen took his admiration for Strzok way too far when he said the disgraced FBI agent deserved a “Purple Heart.”
Strzok repeatedly denied that his deep hatred for Donald Trump (that is well documented among tens of thousands of damning texts) played a part in his ability to perform his job objectivity.
House Judiciary Chairman Goodlatte got the ball rolling on Thursday by letting Strzok know he wasn’t above the law. And Trey Gowdy was relentless in his pursuit for truth as he grilled Strzok up one side and down the other.

Supporters of our military, and of truth in general, were not about to let Cohen’s comment slide. Several called for an apology and his resignation as they let him have it:
Did a sitting member of Congress really just say #Strzok should be “given a #PurpleHeart”…?!
Tragically ignorant and insensitive of you and the #democrats. I do hope you will publicly apologize @repcohen.
Our veterans deserve better.

Absolutely beyond insulting! Purple heart? What an INSULT to the brave men and women who EARNED IT from service and sacrifice!

Not one Dem. looking for the truth in this hearing. IMHO an orchestrated effort to protect a friend.

The notion that Peter Strzok deserves a "purple heart" is an insult to the honor, valor, and service of men and women who truly earned its recognition

I called his office and left a message with his secretary. As a fellow Tennessean, I am disgusted. I apologize to all the men and women as well as families. As a service family member, I am still in shock. My voice was so shaking calling because it was so hurtful!

How dare this squealing sycophant pig #Cohen denigrate the integrity of the Purple Heart? To what depths will #Democrats sink to protect their fellow swamp denizens?

The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the military who are injured in battle.
Peter Strzok sent some mean texts about rigging an election. What a huge insult to wounded veterans. https://t.co/93FCIUHL6G

“If I could give you a Purple Heart I would, you deserve one.” @RepCohen
Sir, from a vet, fuck you.
