    And you can't be bothered to learn anything new.

    She pushes gun control constantly. Try to legally purchase a gun in many areas run by liberals -- and then tell me the 2nd Amendment is not already attacked and limited by liberals. In a time when liberals encourage mobs to attack people in the streets or in their homes the 2nd Amendment is the most important Amendment and anyone who seeks to disarm Americans is IMHO a traitor.

    To use your logic as demonstrated by your Trump comments, Duckworth is a moron. She obviously thinks inner city shooting are committed with legally purchased guns and can be stopped by more gun control laws. Now (using your Trump challenge approach) prove Duckworth is not a moron by posting some link to her speaking that demonstrates subject matter expertise.

    Why does Duckworth want to disarm black people? She must be a racist.

    The second amendment ALLOWS for restrictions on the purchasing of firearms. That is not an attack. And there isn't a single person encouraging mobs to attack people in the streets and in their homes.

    First off, you still have not risen to the challenge of finding a single example of Trump talking about a subject intelligently.

    Second, Duckworth does not want to disarm black people nor does she believe that inner city shootings can be solely stopped by more gun laws.

    Third, here is an example of Duckworth talking about a subject intelligently.

    Trump takes questions from CNN at his press conferences. Maybe you should try watching one and educate yourself.

    She said "we should listen to the argument on removing George Washington statues."

    This is dog whistling.

    Yea, and it is saying, "That is a step too far, but I don't want to piss people off by outright dismissing them before I even had a conversation on the issue."

    Exactly.

    Why would anyone expect her to "answer" anything?

    Especially, from a Boring Comedian (with a one-note shtick) like Carlson?

    Providing so much authenticity to someone who has never served and badmouths one who has given much is, in itself, unfathomable.

    I guess you must have hated Ronald Reagan then, since he is responsible for the Mulford Act (with the blessing of the NRA)resulted in Californian not being able to open carry. You do know why the Mulford Act became law right?? Then when he became president, he signed the Brady Bill into law. Apparently, the Rep. aren't beyond passing gun laws when the laws fit their agenda.

    I love Trump's press conferences but the lefties here would just say he never does one.

    I am aware of what you mention. I don't see Reagan as the hero he is made out to be.

    But you admitted to being a clown and some how got an honorable discharge from our navy! Lol As if you didn't deserve one.

    Carlson screwed up but in most issues I agree with him as a liberal.

    Anybody who goes down 200 feet underwater with a bucket on their head is a clown.

    Getting a mean case of the bends while doing it makes you a full-on Bozo.

    She said it needs to be discussed. What discussion about removing statues of presidents should happen? What exactly should that entail? Sounds crazy.

    As I mentioned earlier, even the most sacrosanct of our founders, people like George Washington, did some really ****ed up **** like when he ordered the "destruction and devastation of Iriquoi settlements" in New York and when he owned slaves. I don't think his statute needs to be torn down because I think his influence over the founding of our country was almost entirely beneficial, but having a conversation about what those statutes should look like, what they should say, or even whether some of them should remain standing does NOT mean that she hates this country nor does her refusal to appear on his show without an apology for that deeply offensive assertion mean that she is a coward.

    it was her way of avoiding taking a courageous stand. She will never go against the party.

    Your problem is that you have not proved your premise. You have to show that this Senator refuses to defend her opinions. My guess is that no sitting senator that can go anywhere and not defend his or her opinions. They cannot do an interview on radio, print or television, or do a press conference or make a public appearance, let alone debate in either a senate committee room or the senate floor without constantly defending their opinions. Its what they do for a living. This senator does not have to give a sleazebag self serving Fox network pundit, who has insulted her personally with an interview to defend her views. She can do it somewhere and not prop up this man's ratings. Its not her job to fill his bank account.

    But those statues aren’t celebrating slavery and we know this. And you can’t judge people in past using a lens of today. By that logic all MLK references should be removed due to his horrible treatment of women. Agreed? Nah. That’s racist. Obviously his womanizing is NOT really why he is remembered but isn’t that enough to discount any good he did. For many leftists he should be cancelled if we use their standards.

    And our friendly native Americans brutally murdered each other for centuries. They killed each other for as long as they could create weapons. They’re certainly no better than any immigrants from EU. This rainbow colored fake history is a joke. Our world was more brutal then. It was what it was. Slavery was legal at the time. Most didn’t really think it was bad. Eventually they changed their mind but for 10s of 1000s of years slavery was common in EVERY CULTURE.
