Fux Noise Slammed for 'Bullshit' Headline About Disabled Vet Tammy Duckworth

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Fox News has received backlash for a headline that falsely suggested Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois) shirked on paying property tax on her Illinois home.

“Wtf is wrong with you guys?!?” tennis legend Martina Navratilova wrote, noting that the story itself explains that Duckworth took advantage of a tax credit available to all disabled U.S. veterans, regardless of income. “You mean our war hero Senator Duckworth should pay taxes when she is not required to do so?”

Duckworth, who served in the U.S. Army in the Iraq War is a double-amputee who lost both her legs and some mobility in her right arm when her helicopter was shot down in 2004 by Iraqi insurgents.

“FOX News, are you seriously now going to attack our veterans in your assault on our Democracy?” Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland, Florida, shooting victim Jaime Guttenberg, tweeted in outrage.

2. The two older Trump boys certainly won't be using veterans' benefits.

The two older Trump boys certainly won't be using veterans' benefits.

Nor Donald... Nor coward Hannity... Nor Carlson... Nor Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney said his five boys riding on his campaign bus was equivalent to military service.

Trump has already shown his contempt for our military when he ridiculed all POWs with his 'I like people who were not captured' statement.

Many of our POWs used their military benefits in the VA Hospitals.

4. Tax Benefit

I work in the real settlement business and I deal with this issue all the time. The veteran files thier disability report with the treasurers office and the level of the tax break is based on the disability that the VA has given them.it is a benefit that all disabled veterans who own homes are entitled to and have earned. Leave it to Faux News to drum up a fake story. There is no doubt that the writer of the story knew exactly how the benefit works. But hey they have to sell fake outrage and fear.

6. Why Would THey, THey Don't Pay Taxes To Begin With?

7. There will be no lawsuit. Unless the story is untrue.

But i kind of agree with Manchin that there should be a means test for a lot of gov't benefits.
