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

7/7/20
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?” With Duckworth’s profile rising as a potential Biden running mate, Carlson’s attack offers a preview of what could come as Republicans gear up to go after whomever the former vice president chooses to join his ticket. Duckworth’s combat experience has helped her ascend a list of Biden’s potential running mates, The Post reported.

In 2004, she lost her legs when insurgents shot down the Black Hawk helicopter she was co-piloting with a rocket-propelled grenade. After her election to the Senate in 2016, she’s used her military record to rebuke Republicans who have questioned Democrats’ patriotism. When Rep. Douglas A. Collins (R-Ga.) in January accused Democrats of being “in love with terrorists,” Duckworth retorted that “I left parts of my body in Iraq fighting terrorists.” Carlson, who has endured numerous calls for advertisers to boycott his show over his statements on race and the protests that followed George Floyd’s death in late May, faced quick criticism for questioning Duckworth’s patriotism.

What in the hell is wrong with him? What a disgusting thing to say about a double amputee.
 
There's a very easy way to criticize war heroes and any other military members who've made huge sacrifices serving in our armed forces: intelligently attack the things they've said or the merits of their policies.

Trump supporters can't seem to distinguish between these ideas, and so they invariably attack things that wittingly or unwittingly include their service to our country. I wonder how likely it is that Republicans will actually be considered pro-military after Trump is gone.

I didn't realize when a person loses their legs they are automatically protected against criticism...

This is kind of like playing the race card huh?

Not really. When a person loses their legs in combat fighting for America, it's kind of a stretch to say they hate America, no?

Exactly; and what has Carlson contributed to the world? Nothing, except a fast mouth and ignorance.

Not really. Blaming America for having lost her leg can very well turn into hate and the attempt to "fundamentally change" the country.

Losing their legs in combat doesn't change their words or actions. I've known dozens and dozens of people who loved the person they married, but are divorced now and don't feel the same way. Feeling's change.

He's simply following Trump's example of berating and ridiculing the military and those who either fell or were disabled in service. Trump was too much of a coward to serve himself, but he's quite happy to condemn those who did, including Gold Star families. What a nasty, disgusting bunch of pathetically inadequate slime these conservatives are.

Rest assured.

The Trumpers will stumble into this thread insisting Carlson is right and Senator Duckworth hates America.

It's the cult response to anyone not firmly in the Trump camp.
 
Criticize people on the merit of their ideas and actions, not on some perceived notion of patriotism. For example, I intensely dislike Rep Dan Crenshaw (for his stance on political issues) but will never question his commitment to this country, having lost an eye in service to the United States. People who question the patriotism of others just prove that they only care about paying lip service to some grandiose idealism wrapped up in star-spangled nationalism.

Also, Tammy Duckworth is SAVAGE

So losing your legs in combat does give a person a free pass on criticism... I'll make a note of that.

It gives them a pass from assholes saying they hate America, or other asshole **** like that, yeah. And you make sure you make that note.

I don't care, I would never tell someone who gave their limbs fighting for our country that they hate America. I have too much respect for their sacrifice. :shrug:
 
I'm pretty sure Senator Duckworth doesn't give a damn what this slime has to say, why should I.

So they are allowed to show open disdain or dislike, but should never be called on it? Sounds like a free pass to me.

I think this thread is proof that Duckworth needs to be the VP choice.

The republican/conservatives who are still in the trump camp are so far down the rabbit hole and so desperate that they can't see that attacking a woman who lost both her legs serving the country and protecting our freedoms is a bad move. They have completely lost the plot. They are desperate. Absolutely pathetic.

The only thing I find surprising about Carlson is that he isn’t voted “Most Punchable Face” every year.
