When Joe Biden pledged at the final Democratic primary debate to select a woman as his running mate, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth was rarely mentioned as a contender.

She would be the first woman of color nominated for that high office if chosen. She has served as the junior United States senator for Illinois since 2017.

What a nasty, smarmy angle to take, CNN.

Joe Biden should pick the one he thinks he could work with, but it be nice to pick Tammy Duckworth to just piss off Trucker and Donald Duck Trump.

Because picking a candidate based on the color of their skin isn't racist at all.

A tragic injury from military service doesn’t exempt you from criticism for the choices you make and rhetoric you speak In a political career you sought out. You can be more (or less) than your injury, trust me! 🇺🇸 -a credible source Johnny_Joey

Damn, you're a desperate and corny bunch of progressives. Why not start making up stories. 100% The same 300 people will read it and it won't change a thing, either. Morons!

CNN loves to mention peoples race in the first few words.

An unqualified black. Didn't we do that with Obama?

He knows best? Biden doesn't know what year it is.

Vote for Biden and China wins. Game over. His record on China is pathetic. He’s been there for almost 50 years and it’s been a disaster.

She’s evil. A true racist and hates America

You pick who is best, not who is the right colour of the month or religion of the month

That is the truth. She is not going to volunteer and say here I am. He needs to get off his behind and stand up for himself and pick someone. The clock is clicking and he only has so much time left.

😮

She’s correct. He, WE need someone he trusts and that can assist in leading this country. Not someone who can put on a good show for ratings and TV sound bites.

Racist much?

Nothing like having an anti-American running alongside a racist presidential candidate

The reality is those who are suffering from dementia really do not know best what they need. It’s sad to see them drift in and out of cognizance as they struggle to maintain control of their spiraling life.

Just remember..................

Tammy is always a Professional. She is a hero and I thank her for her military service.

He should choose the most qualified. Race should not play a part in it.

a common question and a rather pathetic one at that -

Now say it without crying.

Lol! Democrat Train Wreck, Ahead!

Then she's failing already. I hope he select someone that can be honest and take a stand for the better good.

🗣🎙Yap, yap, yap, talk, talk, talk is what Democrats & the Media they own do. It all centers around propaganda to get rid of Trump. RIOTS & Race distortions DOMINATE their garbage rhetoric that's not worthy of a flush 🚽❗ BiddleCal

Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth is Bizarro Mike Pence

Her war chest ribbons make men humble. All pentagon men are busy chasing woman skirts for their trophy, but Tammy was the real frontline soldier for American pride.

Shes the flavor of the week

So first they test her with some media controversy over the past few days to see how she responds. I guess she wasn't submissive enough or she has too many skeletons.

Can’t be Duckworth...she was not born in the USA and that disqualifies her from being president, should Biden not be able to serve. Not a practical choice.

It’s very sad when Biden has painted himself in a corner and has to pick a woman of race and not the most qualified person. Red Rover Red Rover, send women of color right over. Shameful

So you just made this story up using your mind reading powers. Trouble is you can’t mind read Biden, even Joe Biden’s Husband Joe Biden can’t mind read him.

Hahaha

Why did the campaign have a shortage of lard?

LOVE HER... just worry about need for her Dem seat in Senate. Otherwise my 1st choice.
