Th headline is misleading.

Another committee member told him he needed “to shut up and listen.” Vindman argued that he’d chosen to continue the conversation, but was being “attacked.” The same committee member reportedly told Vindman to “shut the f**k up.”

“You can’t f**king talk to me that way,” Vindman reportedly responded, before walking away without taking any further questions.

No one has to take that sort of treatment.

    I'd argue his job is to listen to his constituents, and since through his actions or inactions this person is coming to harm, that he is not listening. Perhaps he should "Shut the fuck up and listen." The problem is that while she's talking, he's not listening. He's just waiting for her to stop talking so he can tell her that she's wrong. This has been a big problem with the establishment of Democrats for a very long time.
