All you need to know about Republicans was in this tweet from the
National Republican Senatorial Committee, slamming Tammy Duckworth, the
Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Illinois:

“Tammy Duckworth has a sad record of not standing up for our veterans.”

That would be the Tammy Duckworth, the Iraq war veteran who lost both
her legs as a combat helicopter pilot, then served as a Lieutenant
Colonel in the Illinois Army National Guard. She also served as
Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and
Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Repugnants pulled the tweet after 10 minutes because of the furor it
caused, but never apologized for it.

Duckworth currently leads her Republican opponent. U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk,
42-36, in the latest PPP poll.
