The National Republican Senatorial Committee put out a tweet accusing Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) of “not standing up for veterans.”
Ms. Duckworth, who is the Democratic candidate for Senate against incumbent Mark Kirk, is a combat veteran of the Iraq war, where she lost both of her legs.
Yeah, “oops” doesn’t quite cover it.
The tweet was deleted almost immediately, but the thud echoes on.
Shades of Max Cleland! Although, in my opinion, Duckworth is a sharper knife.
I’m surprised they didn’t counter that her complaint didn’t have a leg to stand on.
