He described those who fought in Vietnam as ‘losers’ because they did not find a way around the draft. Jennifer Griffin once helped to secure the release of her colleagues who were kidnapped in Gaza. She reported from […]

A night after saying Iraq War veteran Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) hates America, Fox News host Tucker Carlson doubled down on his attacks, describing the Purple Heart recipient who lost her legs in combat as a “coward” and “fraud.” During his Monday night broadcast, the primetime conservative star played an abbreviated clip of Duckworth saying there should be a “national dialogue” over the possible removal of statues, touting it as proof that she supposedly wants to “get rid of George Washington” while questioning her patriotism. “You’re not supposed to criticize Tammy Duckworth in any way because she once served in the […]
