The story can be found at Fox News under the headline Impeachment witness scolds Nunes for calling him mister: 'Lt. Col. Vindman, please. Here's a quote of the offending segment:
"Mr. Vindman, you testified in your deposition that you did not know the whistleblower," Nunes stated.
"Ranking member, it's Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, please," the witness responded.
Nunes corrected himself and repeated the statement, which followed questions regarding who Vindman had spoken with about Trump's phone call.
Sounds as though Vindman got a little testy -- like the big shot who got pulled over for speeding. "Do you know who I am?!!"
And it's hard to forget that time Senator Feinstein erupted at some military guy at a hearing because he called her "Ma'am." Maybe Vindman is trying for some payback for that, although he mistook the house for the senate and republicans for democrats.
In any event, respect should be earned. And whether in either case the complainant had actually been dissed, respect should be earned by something other than titles.
