Hmm. Dysfunctional doesnt even begin to describe the GOP these days.

CHICAGO — The National Republican Senatorial Committee briefly posted a tweet Tuesday that said a Democratic candidate from Illinois who lost both legs as an Army helicopter pilot “has a sad record of not standing up” for veterans.

I'm guessing Kirk is going to have a tough time...Duckworth is a pretty good candidate as far as Illinois democratic politicians go.

This will probably hurt him at least as much as it hurt Joe Biden when he made a similar gaffe.

Which Joe Biden statement are you talking about?

Also, I would note that Joe Biden was a VP at the time - not exactly the same as running for a Senate Seat.

Remember when Abortion Barbie wanted paraplegic GOP candidate Greg Abbott to "walk a mile in her shoes"?

Wendy Davis Slams Paraplegic Opponent: ‘Hasn’t Walked a Day in My Shoes’

Seems like a problem on both sides
 
I just saw a video Hillary made in the 90's where she portrayed Hillary Gump acting mentally challenged for 5 minutes.
That was on purpose and took some effort to write & perform ... in other words, it wasn't inadvertent but I'm sure the Left would say it was insensitive ... depending on who had done it, of course.
