    So how does it make her a coward?

    What debates have you seen Tucker have with anyone that wasn't on his show where he controls the debate.

    She refused to appear on his show because Tucker said she hated America and refused to apologize.

    I must be lost then-because Im pretty sure I did not criticize her military service-but only her clearly idiotic political decisions.

    Where was Duckworth when she ignored the problems at the VA?

    Do you love America?

    She refused because she required Tucker to say before hand that he was wrong.

    I don't think he was wrong.

    Quote him mentioning Confederates and it was not a speech about COVID it was about the founding of our country and celebrating that founding.

    If Duckworth is the sharp politician that the media is now painting her, she had the perfect chance to advance her lot and prove to the Fox viewers that she is a viable force in the democrat party.
    Carlson set her up, Carlson would have been prepared, but if you understand the reason he was attacking her was the statement she made when she was asked about the removal of statues of George Washington. She said "we should listen to the argument for removing George Washington statues" which is a perfectly logical response. If she has accepted Carlson's challenge, any sharp high school senior could have shredded his attack in seconds on that particular statement, so why is she commenting all over the internet instead of going on his show and making her case to the American public and in the process possibly elevating her position as a possible VP pick for Biden or whoever the dems put in his place at the convention.

    Coward is a harsh word and Carlson was out of line using that word but by refusing to make her case in anything but twitter **** and interviews on leftie media, she hurts her credibility in my opinion. I think that is why I appreciated how FOX turned from laughing at Tulsi Gabbard's far left position to actually agreeing with her much of the time after allowing her to voice her beliefs.
    Until Duckworth proves otherwise to me, I stand by my statement that she is just another political hack fraud.

    Your buddy Tucker questioned her love for her country.

    Probably with all the Republicans who have done the same thing.

    Wow.

    I believe that many do. And while I give the benefit of the doubt to many, I have a hard time understanding how those that aren't angry with the country continue to support those that are. I think those that are the most angry currently define the democratic party. And they are intent on destroying our nation.

    How can we know? She certainly supports the folks who do. Do you suppose that it just coincidence?

    What confederate statues did he talk about? Because last I knew George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Frederick Douglas were not confederates.

    Yeah, I just heard more about this. Apparently Tucker said he wanted her on the show and that his first question for her would be something along the lines of "How can you serve this country when you hate this country?" Yeah. Real honest debate there, Tucker.

    I'm thinking of starting a YouTube channel. If I invite Tucker for an interview where my first question will be "When did you stop beating your wife?" and he doesn't show, I guess that makes him a "coward" too.

    No, unless you're saying a white man whose never served his nation much less given literally limbs for it is above criticism from said veteran...is that what you are saying? Because now Tucker is being criticized for his criticism. That's allowed too.

    In these sorts of discussions i always try to point out that one can be a military hero wounded in the service of our country and also be a traitor. For example take Benedict Arnold.

    You don't accuse Benedict Arnold of being a traitor before he actually betrays the country.

    If Duckworth is too stupid to answer your stupid question, then neither of you should ever be interviewed by anybody.

    I'm glad we agree that questions like these . . . like the one Tucker wanted to lead the interview with . . . are idiotic. Congrats on grasping the entire point of the post you just quoted.

    Being handicapped does not offset the stream of anti-American bile that constantly spews from this politician, and countless others.

    Calling out hostile, anti American rhetoric, and treasonous support of insurgents, is needed, in this time, if America is to withstand the open rebellion and revolutionary agenda of the progressive left.

    Most, if not all, do. The original concepts of America, as an experiment in self rule, personal freedom, accountability and opportunity, is lost among the socialist, race baiting progressive left. They can only parrot their Indoctrination and nod like bobbleheads. No thinking is allowed.

    So she's unpatriotic because she suggested an open dialogue on the removal of a statue? And it warranted this?
    "But when Duckworth does speak in public, you're reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is."

    I do not believe you can give me a single example of Tammy Duckworth speaking "anti-American bile"
