“BREAKING: Tammy Duckworth SMACKS down JD Vance after he called her mentally challenged in a disgusting attack!
The Vice-President hit a new low in pathetic cowardice this afternoon when he tweeted that “Watching Tammy Duckworth obsessively interrupt Marco Rubio during this hearing is like watching Forest [sic] Gump argue with Isaac Newton.”
War hero Sen. Tammy Duckworth was questioning the Secretary of State over allegations that the Trump administration had forewarned the oil companies but not Congress about his plan to kidnap Nicolas Maduro and hold the country of Venezuela hostage for its oil revenues.
But this, apparently, angered the Vice-President, who referenced an autistic character from the famous film Forrest — two R’s, Vance! — Gump in a very backhanded but obvious attempt to call her the right-wing’s favorite new word: “retarded,” which has been used by Trump in his attacks on Democrats.
Sen. Duckworth fired back and called out Vance and the entire Trump administration for putting American lives at risk so that Trump and his oil oligarch cronies could make out like bandits:
“Forrest Gump ran toward danger in Vietnam. Your boss ran to his podiatrist crying bone spurs.”
“Petty insults at the expense of people with disabilities won’t change the fact that you’re risking troops’ lives to boost Chevron’s stock price. It’s my job to hold you accountable.”
At least one person in that room is interested in actually doing their job.
It is beyond infuriating to watch our supposed leaders insult our war heroes for standing up for the interests of the American people — and humiliating for Vance to not even have the courage to come out and say it to her face, like a little schoolkid trying to stay out of trouble.
What a pathetic excuse of a man to say that to a woman who lost both her legs in service to her country.”
Another despicable person – Vance
