This is who the right are, cowards, punks.

Iraq War veteran and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) hit back at the conservative Red State blog for using a particularly awful phrase in an article attacking her support of Miguel Perez Jr., a veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan but was still deported to Mexico.

Last week, Duckworth, a Black Hawk helicopter pilot who received the Purple Heart for her service in Iraq, appealed to the Department of Homeland Security to review Perez’s deportation case, arguing that deporting him would be a “shocking betrayal” of a veteran who fought for the United States.

“Unfortunately, Duckworth really doesn’t have a leg to stand on in making this argument,” the article read ― a highly insulting attack on the senator, who lost both her legs fighting in Iraq when her helicopter was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade.

[ProudLib72]

3. Bunch of fucking assholes

Here is someone who gets it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. We are in a war, an actual war. For real. Gonna get WAY worse before better

[enid602]

23. Supporters

Even if you get rid of tRump, you'll still have the people who support him. Short of a right wing rapture, we're fucked.

[tazkcmo]

31. Maybe

We can have a volunteer rapture event?

[jalan48]

4. Duckworth for President! Show them how it's done Senator.

[tazkcmo]

32. I like it! n/t

[Vinca]

6. It doesn't get any lower than that.

[yardwork]

7. How stupid of them. They just lost.

[mucifer]

8. I remember Mark Kirk her opponent was very popular in Illinois until in a debate with her

he made fun of her for saying her ancestors fought in the American Revolution. He assumed from her Asian appearance that couldn't be so.

Don't mess with Tammy!

She kicked his ass on election day.

[Cha]

9. Thank you for that

reminder, mucifer!

[PatrickforO]

13. What a tone deaf jerk. Geez.

We're lucky to have Duckworth in the Senate.

[lunasun]

14. She stayed so calm too! Yes everyone remembered this on Election Day

[madaboutharry]

20. One of the things i love about her is her inability

to suffer a fool.

[IronLionZion]

22. Love it!

[Eliot Rosewater]

24. They are punks, and I can barely stand it anymore. I am filled with rage

[tblue37]

10. This is so typical--like Laura Ingraham bullying David Hogg over not being accepted

by a few of the schools he applied to (even the most stellar students apply to many schools because they know they won't be accepted by all of them); like iDJiT mocking a disabled reporter.

[PatrickforO]

11. Duckworth is a class act. I really like her style, and her courage.

I'm sure this unfortunate turn of phrase will bring attention to the Perez case and allow him to stay here, in the country for which he laid his life on the line, which is a hell of a lot more than we can say about the idiots on Red State.

[magicarpet]

12. So much wit, wisdom, and intelligence coming from ....

..... the Fascist nitwits on the extreme Right. She left part of her anatomy on the field of battle so these Nazis could be live free. This is the thanks and respect they offer her ? Be ashamed, be very ashamed for having the nerve to do something so low as that.

Half this country are despicable, deplorable, evil sick in the head scoundrels.

[iluvtennis]

16. Shaking my damn head (SMDH)...these rethugs are so HATEFUL

[raven mad]

17. NEW RULE.

Fuckwitted Repuke idiots may no longer attempt to try even a shadow of what THEY call humor.

Disgusting. Especially since their fearless draft- dodging cowardly scum "leader" wouldn't know courage if it bit him on the ass.

[Eliot Rosewater]

25. The DAY before trump had VA guy fired, they met and the traitor didnt say a word

know why?

Because trump is the biggest coward on the planet

mad yet?

[Kurt V.]

18. She's tough. We're tough.

[GoCubsGo]

19. "Support the troops", my fat ass.

Excellent response, Senator! You have more guts and honor in the tip of your pinkie finger than that whole stinking organization.

[TNNurse]

21. This makes me so angry, only a pathetic coward would say such a thing.

Mr. Perez and Sen Duckworth deserve our respect. The person who wrote that does not deserve to live here.

[Eyeball_Kid]

26. So right wing cowards are mocking a wounded combat veteran for her injuries.

And where are the so-called "conservative" veterans who recognize that right wingers are mocking THEIR service to the country by mocking Duckworth? Hello?

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Good question. Where are the xtians who are travelling thousands of miles to shake the

hand of the single most immoral man who ever lived? I mean they are not xtians, are they.

[gratuitous]

30. Where are they? Putting purple heart band-aids on their chins

Or waiting from some veteran who actually got a Purple Heart to give it to them, like that nitwit Louis Dorfman.

[flibbitygiblets]

28. Someone call Melania quick! Looks like between this and Laura Ingraham, she has work to do!

But openly mock a liberal combat veteran. Got to love the goddamn hypocrisy.

[malaise]

[Sneederbunk]

35. Is Ingraham posting for Red State?

[Gothmog]

38. Senator Duckworth is a true American hero and this attack offended the heck out of me

[Eliot Rosewater]

39. This attack on her is joined in by SIXTY MILLION Americana aka deplorables

I keep on that because we have a big big problem even if justice was done and every living republican politician in America was impeached tomorrow
