Meet Senator Tammy Duckworth…
–A Democrat from Illinois
–Born in Bangkok, Thailand
So far, the MAGA crowd despises her. But she is also…
–a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel
–an Iraq War veteran
–a U.S. Army helicopter pilot
–a casualty, losing both her legs due to severe combat wounds…although she received a medical waiver after incurring those wounds and continued to serve in the National Guard
Now what does the MAGA crowd think of her (don’t worry, we all know what they think, right?)
Anyway, in the wake of Donald’s Monday suggestion that Democrats who did not clap for him during last weeks’ SOTU may have been “treasonous,” Senator Duckworth had a worthy rebuke:
We don’t live in a dictatorship or a monarchy. I swore an oath—in the military and in the Senate—to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to mindlessly cater to the whims of Cadet Bone Spurs and clap when he demands I clap https://t.co/99gW1yalDl

To paraphrase former Colonel Nathan Jesup, “Donald, I think you f*cked with the wrong Marine!”*
*Even if she’s Army.
