"But while I would risk my own safety to protect a statue of his from harm, I’ll fight to my last breath to defend every American’s freedom to have his or her own opinion about Washington’s flawed history," Duckworth wrote, noting that she never said -- nor does she believe -- a statue of George Washington should be pulled down.
In this March 2, 2017, file photo, Tucker Carlson, host of"Tucker Carlson Tonight," poses for photos in a Fox News Channel studio, in New York.tweeted a clip of Carlson’s show, and Scott O’Grady, co-chair of Veterans for Trump, along with Patrick Brady, a Medal of Honor recipient, released a statement saying Duckworth is"using her military service... to villainize America’s founding.
In July 2016, Trump called retired four-star General John Allen a"failed general." That same month he attacked the family of Capt. Humayun Khan, a slain soldier and Bronze Star awardee. Khan's father, Khizr Khan, had spoken out against Trump during the Democratic convention and supported Hillary Clinton in 2016.
And as recently as February, Trump attacked Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, who testified before the House in its impeachment inquiry expressing concern about the president's alleged quid quo pro.
36% of the absentees ballots in AD 31 Queens will be disregarded. Insane! The lowest rejection rate in any Assembly District is 14.98% in AD 36; the highest is 36.35% in AD 31. Overall, 24.7% of absentees have thus far been rejected in Queens. It’s what the Democrats wanted
Your record alone CRADLES you in AMERICAS ARMS! THAT JOKER COULDN'T EVEN HOLD A JOB AT FOX. GOD BLESS YOU SENATOR AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
Nothing in the world gives you a 'pass' when you are a modern day liberal
Thank you for your service. At the same time, that does not give you a lifetime hall pass.
Disgrace to your oath.
I don’t know anything about her politics and I may vehemently disagree with her, but anyone who puts their life on the line for this country and loses both legs while doing so deserves our gratitude for doing so. Again, I may think she’s completely wrong headed politically.
Duckworth is NOT immune from criticism. She is a public figure with a lot of power. Yet another reason the left is so dangerous, because they think they shouldn't be questioned. Duckworth is a perfect example.
Right. They continue their march leftism.
Unlike her word or character.
Wonder Women Girl Power. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
Titanium legs don’t exclude Duckworth from being an America-hating lunatic.
I’m perplexed by those who were in the military as to their lack of outrage in what the president and his people say about veterans. Regardless of political affiliation;to mock a POW, to scorn the father of a gold star, to slander a combat veteran who lost her legs - Dispicable
She called George Washington and Abraham Lincoln traitors yet she denounces our political system, while holding a political office in which she swore to uphold the constitution.
She uses them to play the victim when ever her argument sucks.
We are not talking about her legs...we are taking about her heart and mind....unless she left those on the battlefield as well. She once loved this country unless she entered the military with malintention.
How many GOP will support are Purple Heart war veteran Sen. Duckworth to this criticism from FOX / Carlson? Want to bring things back together or at least in that direction, than support her for this attack on her. We need more Sen. Duckworths in this world, less Carlsons.
You can be in a wheelchair and still be a buffoon
Serving in the military doesn't exclude you from criticism. True patriots would not need a discussion about our founding fathers. They would back the sacrifices made by everyone before them. The fact you believe its okay to destroy our history shows how unpatriotic you are. 🇺🇸
What she told CNNPolitics DanaBash was that POTUS speech at Mt Rushmore spoke only of confederates which is a lie! Harriet Tubman ran Underground Railroad! George Washington won the Revolutionary War after 1/2 of his army suffered frostbite!
This woman is totally lame! Why does she always run to her legs and her sex for a defense of herself? It’s ludicrous & intellectually extremely lacking!
She's always angry. Always nasty. Such a stick in the mud. It's tough to have survived such a traumatic event, but hatred just oozes from her body. Politically, we used to all be pretty close on most issues and could agree to disagree about 2A and abortion. But not Duckworth.
I want to see those titanium legs kick Tucker’s butt!
Typical Democrat hypocrite
Again, using her disability to deflect criticism. Not like Johnny_Joey
DanCrenshawTX is a punk for backing red flag laws.
So because of the legs she gets to do what ever
Duckworthless. Go away.
Being in a war dues to make you immune to criticism for the stupid things you say 🙄
July Fourth Weekend was a bloodbath in US cities: Chicago—80 Americans shot, 17 killed New York City—64 Americans shot, 10 killed Philadelphia—31 Americans shot, 7 killed Atlanta—28 Americans shot, 4 killed What do they all have in common? They're all run by Democrat Mayors.
Victim hood doesn’t make you immune to criticism
UnitedWeRise
Which person in our entire star is without any faults if we start judging one entity will remain perfect God We look at the entire life of each person in its entirety not parts We all make mistakes Once women could not vote It changed
Benedict Arnold was a hero once too.
Thank you for your military service. Unimpressed by your politics.
Maybe you need a titanium mouth
Truly appreciate your courage and sacrifice. You are a great example for our younger generation. I can only hope that some of them will serve and protect our country as you did. That being said, you’re a dumb$hit.
Why did she fight in an illegal war with no justification that resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people?
Vets are just loved by the left... when they move in their direction. Period.
George Washington is a national hero, a war veteran, a president and one of the USA founding fathers. Without him you don't exist Duckworth!
GOP sense a real threat from SenDuckworth as the possible Dem VP nominee. She would be one helluva nominee. It sure looks like Tucker Carlson sees it coming. Watch out, GOP
She sucks.
Buffets everywhere are greatful
So that automatic means she can call Americans racist & how much she despises this country? 🤔...... Got it 🤦♀️
She hates America.
Let her keep digging that hole
Thank you for your service but apparently you’ve lost it.
Wait, didn't Wolverine have some of that?
Don’t forget what was said about Dan Crenshaw’s eye! hypocrites
She sold her soul the the devil.
If she’s holding so strong to her convictions, why won’t she just debate Tucker? He’s repeatedly invited her on his show.
So the only thing anyone know about this woman is about her legs. That’s all what else is she good for other than being paraded around
She put her life on the line for her country while Tucker Carlson put his life on the line trying to tie a bow tie.
Professional victim
Tucker Carlson acts like he was bullied in school
Oh, so now y’all suddenly care about war veterans? Stfu.
Can't make a policy point, simply cashing in on her disability. Shameful
