Copyrighted Image? DMCA | In an interview with Politico yesterday, Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) downplayed his opponent Tammy Duckworth's military service and injury. Duckworth, who served in Iraq and then at the VA, lost both legs and part of her arm in combat. Walsh's response? Ehhh: "I have so much respect for what she did in the fact that she sacrificed her body for this country," said Walsh, simultaneously lowering his voice as he leaned forward before pausing for dramatic effect. "Ehhh. Now let's move on." "What else has she done? Female, wounded veteran " ehhh," he continued. "She is nothing more than a handpicked Washington bureaucrat. David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel just picked her up and dropped her into this district." Joe Walsh is a Chickenshit chickenhawk doesn't deserve the right to utter Tammy Duckworth's name. He is doing to her what Saxby Chambliss did to war hero Max Cleland. |
