Florida Republican Rep. Brian Mast said Tuesday on Fox Business that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office is currently indicting his Gold Star father Steve, who has been charged with disrupting President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.・He stated that he supports Mr. Nikoi.
Mast appeared on “The Bottom Line” to discuss the accusations against Nikoy, who shouted about the U.S. Marines who were killed, including his son, during the infamous Afghanistan evacuation. Nikoui recently clarified that his own charges have not been dropped and said after reporters’ questions that he was not surprised the Biden administration did not intervene in his case. But Mr. Mast told the Fox Business host that Mr. Johnson’s office has “successfully intervened” since Mr. Nikoy’s interview.
Mast accused Nikoi of unfair treatment and questioned why others were not arrested for obstruction during the event. (Related: ‘Marines!’: Gold Star father escorted from Congress over Biden SOTU obstruction)
“Based on the latest information since our last press conference, the House of Commons has successfully intervened and secured the dismissal of the charges,” Mast said. “That’s what was communicated to me as an update this afternoon, but I have a few things to say about it. Number one, look at Steve Nikoy and Lt. Col. Stu Scherer. [Stuart] Scherer, US Marines – the only two detained in relation to the Afghanistan withdrawal. Lieutenant Colonel Scherer was imprisoned and placed in a brig for speaking out about this matter. And now Steve Nikoy is behind bars after doing what he is accused of doing: demonstrating at the seat of government in the United States, where our constitutional rights should be ruled louder than anywhere else. has been done. He was locked up for demonstrating. ”
“And lastly, when I went with him to the police station, he said one of the most surprising things to me,” he continued. “Because I said, ‘Hey, where is everyone?'” Where did the members of Congress who were demonstrating and speaking out go? The people who stopped him on the road, where is the president on his way there? ” And they said, “Well, listen, congressmen have different standards than other congressmen. That’s why no congressman is locked up.” In the United States of America, there should never be a different standard for members of the House of Representatives than for those of “We the People” we are charged with representing. ”
Mr. Nikoy was invited by Mr. Mast to Mr. Biden’s speech. said In a blog post, he said he wanted to remind Biden of the “damage he has inflicted on national security and American families.” After Nikoui heckled Biden, he was brought in and charged by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. according to On Fox News.
