Tammy Duckworth Does Not Suffer Phony Disabled Vets Gladly

An IRS contractor who has been using a minor, possibly non-existent injury from his prep school days 27 years ago to secure government contracts for his company was publicly shamed by Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) in such a magnificent way that it almost made his fraud worthwhile.

Braulio Castillo, CEO of Strong Castle Inc., claims he broke his foot playing sports at a military prep school in 1984. Before starting his technology company, Castillo filed for and received a 30 percent disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), allowing Strong Castle to label itself a "service-disabled, veteran-owned small business," thereby making it eligible for so-called "set-aside" government contracts.

Castillo is now embroiled in a lengthy probe into the possibility that he further gamed the system by using his friendship with top IRS official Greg Roseman to obtain contracts.

But back to Castillo's supposed disability: According to the House Oversight Committee, the fracture Castillo claimed he suffered didn't show up in X-rays taken at the time of his supposed injury.

1. I cannot put into words how much I admire Tammy Duckworth.

[DonRedwood]

2. I used to like her a lot and donated to her campaign. Now I love her. :0)

3. She nailed this asshole

He should have to pay back ALL the money he got while pulling off this scam.

He probably felt safe since Assa wasn't questioning him.

5. Issa is on the end of the video

and he was nice about it, actually. I was surprised and pleased he was polite to Ms Duckworth.

4. I can just hear the whine from the Freepers

"She's a Democrat" and "He's a job creator" so he's the one in the right here, and she's the one in the wrong.

6. Some people should be respected no matter politics

Tammy Duckworth is one of them.

7. I don't disagree

That woman is a testament to the sacrifices our Veterans make, and I don't care which political party they belong to. If it was a Republican saying it, and even Issa saw it and gave a nod of respect, I'd say the same thing.

8. She is my Hero~

That was the best scathing take down of a most dishonorable man.
Taking out the trash, indeed!

[DonRedwood]

12. Lawrence O'Donnell is going to tear him another one--right now on MSNBC. nt

13. And Issa says, "I thank the lady and the time was well spent."

Chairman Darrel Issa lets Tammy go over her time without interference, or reminder, or buzzers.

Not even asshat Issa can shut down the in formidable force that is Tammy Duckworth.

I love her to pieces!

14. The "rules" need to be changed

There is no way this toad should qualify for any kind of preferential treatment. He is not a Veteran. He filed for this and got it.

He's a taker but the system allowed this to happen. That needs to be changed.

15. Amazing. Inspirational. Spot on. Thanks for posting that.
