Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth calls Washington and Lincoln “dead traitors’. Link

quote:

---

We MUST defeat them

---

Must we?

Or wouldn't it be more easy to forge a new nation, separate from the old, on this land that we call America?

Duckworth’s claims have no legs.

Except she didn't, I just watched it to see because I found it hard to believe, but click bait title is clickbait

She was ignoring the host's focus on Washington and referring back to her own mention of Confederate generals.

Either she didn't watch the speech (she didn't) or she is deliberately mischaracterizing the Trump speech because he specifically didn't talk about Confederates, as the political left assumed he would.

This is the kind of political move by Trump that would be brilliant if he hadn't already ruined his reputation - Democrats can claim he spent his speech talking about Confederates because most people will just assume that's true...because he has spent so much time defending Confederates.

I like that Tammy Duckworth wants to have a national conversation about Washington and Jefferson, but not when she's on a national tv show watched by national viewers.

Your thread title is a little misleading brother.

Those are treasonous words

These people are so unhinged. At some point in time, the past has got to be the past. Can’t ever move forward if you are stuck in the past. The ability to acknowledge this is a sign of a functioning adult.

Sounds like you are fake newsing it

You Conservatives love to push fake news as much as the Libertarts.

Just because liberals make shite up and mischaracterize things doesn’t mean we should do the same, OP.
