A Republican congressman is showing his support for Israel with his choice of clothing.
On Friday, Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) was seen wearing the uniform of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
One reporter asked, “What’s with your threads today? Can you tell us anything about those?”
“Tlaib’s got her flag, I got my uniform,” Mast responded.
Watch the video below:
Mast’s congressional biography noted he served in the U.S. Army for 12 years and was awarded the Purple Heart.
While serving in a bomb disposal unit in Afghanistan, he lost both of his legs due to an improvised explosive device.
His bio then noted Mast “volunteered to serve alongside the Israel Defense Forces to show support for the freedom Israel represents throughout the Middle East and the world.”
