There has been a lot of flack from IMPOTUSies these past few days about how the Democrats “love terrorists” and “hate America.” Sen. Tammy Duckworth gave what in any normal universe would be an unanswerable response: ‘I left parts of my body in Iraq’: Duckworth rejects GOP claim that Democrats were ‘in love with terrorists’
Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a Purple Heart recipient who lost both her legs in the Iraq War, rebuked a top Republican for saying Democrats were “in love with terrorists.”
“I’m not going to dignify that with a response. I left parts of my body in Iraq fighting terrorists,” Duckworth (Ill.) said during an appearance on CNN Thursday. “I don’t need to justify myself to anyone.” [emphasis added]
This was partly in response to Doug Collins (R-Batshit), who had infamously claimed on Fox News:
Doug Collins: Democrats are "in love with terrorists, we see that they mourn Soleimani more than they mourn our gold star families." (tweeter)
Duckworth wasn’t having any of it. Not from Collins, and not from Cadet Bonespurs.
Duckworth, who told CNN she was “disgusted” by Collins comments, later reiterated her rebuke of Collins in a Twitter post that also swiped at President Trump.
“Donald Trump spent months attacking an ACTUAL Gold Star Family. @RepDougCollins should be ashamed of himself for perpetuating this offensive lie,” she tweeted.
In a second tweet, she added, “I love my country just as much as anyone on the other side of the aisle—it’s why I volunteered to serve in uniform, unlike Donald Trump.”
THAT is how to shut them up.
