“Trump questioned the patriotism of Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who lost both legs in Iraq, and Fox’s Tucker Carlson called her a ‘coward’ and a ‘fraud.’ Even if you are a Trump supporter, does this not cross a line for all Americans?”
—Question on Quora, after attacks on Duckworth following her suggestion that statues of slaveowners be taken down, including those of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. [Yes, Washington and Jefferson founded this great nation and Jefferson wrote “All men are created equal” even as he owned some 400 slaves and fathered children by one of them. So, if you’re one of those who ever said “I know how blacks feel, but…” then you’re a hypocritical liar. How dare you say you know how someone whose ancestors were forced into slavery feels! At the same time, how dare President Bunker-Boy Bone Spurs call anyone, ANYONE, a “coward” and a “fraud.”]
“Keep in mind, Tammy Duckworth is not a child, at least not technically. She is a sitting United States senator who is often described as a hero. Yet Duckworth is too afraid to defend her own statements on a cable TV show. What a coward.”
—Faux News bigot Tucker Carlson. [See my comments above.]
Senator Duckworth realizes discretion is the better part of valor and she also knows George Bernard Shaw was absolutely correct when he said, ” I learned long ago to never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and, besides, the pig likes it.”
Tucker Carlson is a pig and handmaiden of our President, particularly in his attempt to foment hate.
Second war hero trashed by the POTUS and his minions. Veterans, where is your outrage?
“Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.” – Robert Anson Heinlein
…exactly! She doesn’t have to defend herself to those two. A Lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinions of sheep. Even if the sheep convince their russian friends to help them get elected to office.
These same slanderous lies have worked before for the Publicans. IE Georgia, Sonny Perdue. But it seems that slanderous lies are coin of the realm under the tangerine toddler. Duckworth fired back with both barrels/legs and kicked the pusillanimous panderer right in the pudenda-where he is similarly missing parts perhaps that were never there.
Sen Duckworth has proven her worth (no pun intended, but it works); has Carlson of the draft-dodger in Chief? Cowards all! Where are Sen Duckworth’s colleagues (yes, Cassidy and Kennedy, I am talking to you).
