The moral bar is in the dirt for the Right. Denigrating a hero Vet who sacrificed almost half of her body for America because she shared perhaps what is an unpopular opinion that disagreed with the GOP in the land of the free she fought for has made the bottom of the barrel bottomless. Every Vet here and any patriot here with a true love for what we stand for should voice their disgust and disappointment with the likes of a reprobate like Carlson (who, like Trump the draft-dodger, did not serve) and the WH administration.

Trump shared a video on Twitter of Carlson's segment attacking Duckworth and his campaign issued a statement saying that "Duckworth is now using her military service to deflect from her support for the left-wing campaign to villainize America's founding."

She is being criticized for her political position and only her political position...
She brought up a serious politically motivated position of Removing our historic statues and should therefore withstand the rebuttal that comes with it.. Calling for a 'national dialogue' to tear down statues of our Founders is certainly worthy of criticism, and can be reasonably described as the ideological destruction of our country...
Just as she has her right of speech so do others. Like it or not that’s how the first amendment rolls.
