Peter DeFazio (D-OR), chair of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, was caught on a hot mic blurting profanity when time was yielded to Rep.&nbsp;Brian Mast (R-FL) during a committee hearing Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>While it remains unclear who the comments were meant for,&nbsp;DeFazio uttered the words on the hot mic when&nbsp;Rep. Don Young (R-AK)\u2019s time to speak was yielded to&nbsp;Mast to speak further on his amendment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>During the hearing, Mast introduced an amendment to bar the&nbsp;Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or any&nbsp;airline from&nbsp;implementing vaccine mandates for contractors or employees. The amendment, if adopted, would have been added to the bill that would help fund the airline&nbsp;industry if there was&nbsp;a government shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>DeFazio, in his response, thanked the congressman for his&nbsp;\u201cmisdirected concerns\u201d in addition to saying the amendment was&nbsp;\u201ca little bit off-base.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13192802\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"36\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mast418.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13192802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mast418.jpg\" alt=\"Brian Mast\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Congressman Brian Mast (R-FL) sits in the Cannon Building on Capitol Hill on May 16, 2018, in Washington, DC.
