Senator who lost legs in Iraq hits back at Fox News host

Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a US Army veteran who lost both of her legs while serving in Iraq, rebuked Tucker Carlson after the conservative Fox News host attacked her and suggested that she hates America.
"Does @TuckerCarlson want to walk a mile in my legs and then tell me whether or not I love America?" Duckworth wrote on Twitter.
Duckworth was awarded the Purple Heart after she lost her legs in 2004 when a rocket-propelled grenade hit the helicopter she was co-piloting during the Iraq War.
Duckworth later retired from the Illinois Army National Guard as a lieutenant colonel and went on to serve as the assistant secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs in the Obama administration.

  1. “It’s long been out of bounds” Fox News questions peoples patriotism all the time they always have

    1. I question the patriotism of people who kneel for the anthem or burn an American flag or throw it on the ground. Fair enough?

    2. worth noting that Fox ‘News’ is owned and run by Rupert ‘Dirty Digger’ Murdoch – an Australian who gave up his citizenship of that country to get even richer off the backs of gullible Americans – there’s no Patriotism in that business model at all…

  2. Here’s one of many who enjoys freedom at everybody else’s expense. This is why I never watch fox.

    1. @Crispin Fornoff Doesn’t matter, he still enjoys freedom at others expense. He never served…

    2. @Papa Wheelie Neither is Fox, is that what your point is? No, it isn’t you just want to distract from the truth and the truth is Tucker never served and is enjoying freedom at others expense. I know you don’t like the truth so stay mad snowflake.

    3. @Papa Wheelie the point sailed right over your head. THEY don’t trash purple heart recipients, nor attack
      veterans who gave everything they had. Capisce?

  3. The history should be taught with the truth as to how things actually occurred, truth not hype

    1. Bard you have been around for a long long time, maybe you can tell us stories about the civil war.

    2. @Vlad the Inhaler Idiotic comment from a childish loser. Why don’t you tell us some stories about raising a family, pursuing a meaningful career, owning your own home, and serving your country? Oh, you haven’t actually done any of those things but think your perspective is still relevant? The ignorance of youth is well understood, but yours is extreme.

  4. There is something deeply wrong with a non-military person who says a woman who lost her legs fighting for America doesn’t love America.

    1. When Duckworth loses an argument she right away claims victim status of amputee, how pathetic.

    2. This idiot attacked one the most well known veteran of all time. George Washington was a veteran and our first President and this heifer believes she has the nerve to propose taking down his statute.

    3. No one hates America as much as a Racist does. Racist’s don’t believe in America…not really. Racist’s believe in a America that doesn’t exist and will never exist. Really sick people.

      “MAGA LOVES THE BLACK PEOPLE” The President of the United States of America said that. Thump’s campaign slogan, his campaign, his Presidency, and the reason most of his backwards thinking followers are in it for the long haul, has it’s foundation in Racism and White Supremacy.

      Racism is wilfully ignorant evil. We have a Racist Sociopathic Narcissistic Pathological Liar in the White House.

      Like I said…really sick people.

  5. I have to admit Tucker that whenever I see your face on any thumbnail for a youtube video I immediately think ‘village idiot’ and the few videos I have managed to sit through starring your good self have only served to confirm my initial appraisal.

    1. Yeah..pretty obvious. But consider just how ignorant you’d have to be to think the opposite. Another comment said of Tucker, “He’s one of the best political minds we have right now. You know this. Socially conservative, economically liberal. If he runs, he can win
      .”
      If nothing else, what the Trump presidency has done is exposed the soft underbelly of American ignorance and lack of critical thinking skills. t’s almost as if some of these people actually revel in their stupidity, and seem to either have no desire to, or ability to improve themselves. I really never realized just how many uneducated people there are in this country.

    2. @Mr Jones I heard another say he has ‘presidential aspirations’. Isn’t it then obvious why he’s already trashing a potential female VP contender right now? If chosen, SHE’D be his competition in 2024 or 2028 and he’s already TERRIFIED, the weak little panic-stricken wimp, so is trying a pre-emptive strike to try to muddy
      her name…this purple heart recipient who saved her troops’ lives by landing her helicopter safely DESPITE it
      being hit and her legs shredded to the point they couldn’t be saved. This woman is ALL heart AND guts and can certainly hold her own against this whiny snowflake who tries so hard to pretend to be ‘tough’ but his complexion gives him away every single time. Another rich-boy coward who isn’t fit to wipe her shoes.

  6. The fact that she”s his topic of interest clearly proves she’s NEITHER “silly or unimpressive”. SMH😡

    1. @Papa Wheelie So was Tulsi Gabbard, a female, POC, Democrat and Tucker put her on his show. Why?

  7. Imagine someone from Fox so-called “News Nutwork” saying that someone else is unimpressive and silly,ha!🤣How can they stand themselves I wonder.

    1. Id be pissed if I was you as well. Any parent that named their kid RaChica has to have a 6th grade education at best. Go to school…..get a job….and get off the food stamps

    1. @Vital Signs High dollar hookers make a lot of money too. They would get higher ratings than Carlson if you let them do their thing in prime time…

    2. Duckworth is a Patriot, a Hero, and a Decent Human Being. Tucker Carlson is the opposite of that….

  8. His mother left him as a kid and he had the blessing of getting a billionaire stepmother you will think a life like that will make a man reflect and fight the rest of his life to uplift others who were born into difficult circumstances in life especially minority kids. Instead he choose to provoke the worst nature in the white man. I guess we all choose our own road in life.

    1. @Mike Orfe lol you just made a similar trolling comment on my post, you are a very silly person. Life hack: Find better ways to spend your time 😂

    1. Probably alot better than the BLM Marxist and with their white supremacy boogeyman haunting their dreams

  9. As much as FOX likes to taut how much the support the military moments like this prove they have no loyalty to the armed forces just like #FailedTrump.

  10. Oh my God, what is this? Who is this man? He’s an embarrassment to all. I need to stick with YouTubeMusic.

  11. Tucker Hasn’t been in a fight in his life he’s the first one to run as soon as an argument spews. Look at his face you can tell the coward in him

    1. San Man he kind of did when he interviewed this English man who questioned Tucker’s and Fox New’s integrity. He called him a fowl name and the interview never aired Bc Tucker went off.(this last part is my opinion) it was at best pathetic.

    1. I didn’t realize that only people who served in the military had the right to speak their mind in America. When did that start? And since you’re speaking your mind, when and where did you serve?

  12. I love how they want everyone to support the troops when they are fighting their wars, but as soon as one of those troops has an opinion that differs from theirs, then they are un-american.

    1. Isn’t that kind of like the opposite of how the left acts? Just like religion you hate it until you can use it to benefit you.
