VIDEO: Randy Perkins to double war amputee: “Be a man and stand behind your own ads”

Yesterday during a TC Palm editorial board meeting, FL-18 Democrat Randy Perkins became completely unhinged and spent 60 minutes lobbing insults at decorated war veteran Brian Mast.

Perkins told Mast – whose military service in which he lost both of his legs earned him The Bronze Star Medal, The Army Commendation Medal for Valor, The Purple Heart Medal, and The Defense Meritorious Service Medal – that he is “not man enough to stand behind your own ads” and “be a man and stand behind your own ads.”

This was the same editorial board meeting where Perkins attacked Mast for receiving free health care from the VA as a result of his injuries and said Mast’s military service doesn’t make him qualified to serve in Congress. It’s the same Perkins who is having his attorneys demand that local FL-18 stations stop running Mast’s television ads highlighting Mast’s military service.

NRCC Comment: “Randy Perkins should be ashamed of himself for telling a combat veteran who lost both legs in service to his country that he is ‘not man enough’ and to ‘stand up’ behind his own ads. Randy Perkins is nothing more than a natural disaster profiteer with a temperament that makes him unfit to serve the people of Florida’s 18^th District.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
