Sen. Tammy Duckworth responds after Tucker Carlson suggests she hates America

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tammy-duckworth-tucker-carlson-hates-america-response/

This little chicken **** had the nerve to accuse a sitting senator, one who lost both of her legs while serving in the military, of hating America. And why? Because she had the nerve to say that we should "have a discussion" about the types of statutes and monuments that we are willing to remove today.

Carlson wants to have that exact same discussion - which is why he invited her onto the show - and it is certainly fair game to disagree with her politics, but to question her patriotism, to call her a "coward," and to say she is a "fraud" makes him a chicken **** little ****er.

As a reminder, Carlson is being propped up by MyPillow.com which purchased more than 10x advertising as the next largest brand.

 

So handicapped.people are above any criticism whatsoever?

Why not discuss the actual accusation instead of the handicap? Why the "how dare you"? attitude?

Prolly cause Tucker is correct. Just sayin'.

 

Her response was to run and hide behind her disability.

Pathetic.

 

So maybe someone willing to put their life in harms way in service to their country might have some patriotism cred. His accusation was nonsense. I miss the days when Tucker could string thoughts together beyond the reactionary snowflakism he peddles to now.

 

Tucker invited her to come on his show. She declined.

Who's the coward now?

 

Have you ever watched his show? She'd barely be able to get a word in edgewise. Also, she doesn't owe him anything. It takes a lot more courage to fly into combat under enemy fire than it does to agree to be a prop for Tucker Carlson. Surely you are capable of realizing this.

 

You're absolutely right. Tucker would've eaten her lunch.

She was smart to run and hide.

 

I was a Navy diver, and I did things in the service of my country that were borderline suicidal.

Duckworth hates America. That's my opinion.

How much cred you gonna spot me?

 

Agreed.

Why would Tammy even dignify his existence after the:
Unconcsionable Misogynistic, Racist, Anti-Disabled, Anti-Veteran Attack that he waged against her?

Why does Carlson HATE Disabled War Veterans?

 

He invited her into a situation where he would have had complete control. If he actually had courage, he'd challenge her to a public debate with someone else moderating.

She didn't "run and hide" when her life was actually on the line. But keep pretending that "real courage" is agreeing to the demands of a whiny, empty suit.

 

Tucker has nothing but the highest respect for Dan Crenshaw.

Your premise seems to be false.

 

I spot you the exact same cred. Anyone who calls you a coward is an idiot. Same goes for anyone who calls Duckworth a coward.

 

Still Tucker Carlson because he refused to apologize for claiming a double leg amputee and sitting senator hates her country.

 

Real courage is standing up for yourself and defending your opinions.

Hiding behind your handicap is cowardice.

 

Why is she handicapped?

 

*******n, what a ****ing heartless accusation. She is handicapped explicitly because she served in the ****ing military. That isn't hiding behind her handicap. That is the very definition of sacrifice for your country.

 

She's stood up for her opinions. And she's gone beyond your so called "real courage" and actually put her life on the line.

Little Bitch Carlson just wants her to come on the program where he has complete control of the conversation. He doesn't want the conversation to happen anywhere where he doesn't have complete control. If you think that is "real courage" then I encourage you to think about that a little harder.

 

Your opinion on this issue is ****ing wrong.

 

It kills me to see the fringe right try to recreate reality so that patriotism has more to do with worshipping the right physical idols than actually risking your life in service to your country. Every time I think the left has gone off the deep end, the right has one of these "hold my beer" moments.

 

Not really. I did all that dangerous diver crap when I suffering from the mental disorder of youth.

These days, I'm afraid I'm going to slip and drown in the bathtub. Go ahead and call me a coward, see if I care.

Now if I were to refuse to defend my opinions by hiding behind the exploits of my long-ago military service, now THAT would make me a coward, same as Duckworth.

 

How dare you insult a military hero?!

An outrage!

I demand satisfaction. Pistols at dawn!

 

Carlson is a punk. Throwing those cheap shots may get him ratings, but more like a shock jock only.

 

Handicapable then. Whatever. The point is she mentioned her legs(or lack thereof) rather than defending her opinions.

 

She's defended her opinions. You and Tucker are just pitching a fit because she won't do so on your terms, in a place where Tucker can be a coward and control the conversation.

 

Injury does not excuse one from having to answer to inquiries.
