Tucker Carlson suggests Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who lost her legs in Iraq, hates America

[spanone]

Before launching a broadside against Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Fox News host Tucker Carlson acknowledged that it’s not easy to go after a Purple Heart recipient who lost both her legs while serving her country in Iraq.

“You’re not supposed to criticize Tammy Duckworth in any way because she once served in the military,” Carlson said Monday night.

That didn’t stop him from calling Duckworth, a contender to be presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s running mate, “a deeply silly and unimpressive person” and suggesting that she and other Democratic leaders “actually hate America.”

Duckworth quickly jabbed back on Twitter, writing, “Does @TuckerCarlson want to walk a mile in my legs and then tell me whether or not I love America?”

1. We need to contact the remaining sponsors for his hate fest...anyone have a list?

He is a piece of shit...I am a Navy brat and am deeply offended by his words. I will look online also and post what I find.

2. Cool! Does that mean he's heard she's the VP pick and is getting busy smearing her?

I love her.

[Kingofalldems]

4. My thought as well.

[Squinch]

5. When do you think Joe will announce? If she's the pick, I'll be ecstatic.

7. Has to be either during or before the virtual convention.

[Kingofalldems]

15. He won't while Trump melts down.

So that might be a long while.

[Squinch]

17. You know, you're right. I hadn't thought of that. And it's the right thing to do.

[Demsrule86]

6. That is what am wondering...she has young kids too...always appealing.

I adore Sen. Duckworth. She has always been one of my favorites.

13. Maybe, but I suspect it's just mostly part of their general "The Dems Hate America" narrative.

They've gone into overdrive with that shit. They're going to smear every other potential candidate the same way before this is all over. It just happened to be Sen. Duckworth's night last night, I'm guessing.

3. I actually hate Tucker Carlson.

[Botany]

8. Calling Duckworth, "a deeply silly and unimpressive person"

But not to worry because those words were written for Tucker. He is just a well paid actor
selling lies, fears, and hate.

This is 100% gas lighting in order to change the subject from Trump and C=19.

[Demsrule86]

9. I loath Tucker.

[Liberal In Texas]

10. Tucker Carlson hates America and Patriotic Americans.

How else does one explain the lies and propaganda that spews from his mouth?

[DFW]

11. I know what Tucker Calrson needs

He need to put on a uniform, go into combat, get his legs blown off, and THEN start telling us how insignificant it was.

12. I love Tammy

My Senator Tammy Baldwin is light years ahead of bow-tie boob. (now just a regular tie boob)

Already auditioning for the 2024 run, are you? Your low information fans will kiss your feet with your bully school taunts.

[beachbumbob]

14. always the last ditch effort is to accuse democrats of not being supportive of "America", when the

rightwing falls to this low you know how bad their position is.

[Vinnie From Indy]

16. Have you ever seen Tucker make his "serious" face?

He looks like a dog trying to understand human words.

[Squinch]

18. I think it looks like he's soiling himself and doesn't want to give it away. Jared does it too.

[Baked Potato]

19. Sounds like Tucker has "military envy"... sad.

[gratuitous]

20. I hate this version of America, Tucker

The one where George Floyd gets murdered in broad daylight on the street and you live out your days in unwarranted wealth and comfort.
