Senator Tammy Duckworth says that, during his address at Mount Rushmore on Friday, President Trump “spent all his time talking about dead traitors.”
This is a flat-out lie. It is entirely untrue. It is invented from whole cloth. You can read the speech here and see for yourself.
One doesn’t have to like President Trump — or to have enjoyed his speech — in order to acknowledge that Duckworth is lying. One needs only to read what was said.
Trump’s two references to the Civil War came in passages praising Lincoln and condemning slavery.

Another average chick pilot who got ahead of others because of her genitals. Got hit by a mortar while landing and dudes saved her. Like many others she lost limbs. Now she uses that to attempt to professionally hate the very America that gave her the many advantages she has been granted.

“....talking about dead traitors.”
I don’t recall any mention of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in Trump’s superb speech, do you? Nor Klaus Fuchs and others who worked with the Rosenbergs to deliver our atomic bomb secrets to the Soviets. Perhaps i was too enthralled with Trump’s very positive comments about who we are as Americans. And if the President mentioned Benedict Arnold, I must have been watching Melania during that segment of his comments.
Duckworth is hoping her vicious lie will be her chief credential to be Biden’s VP.

IMO, Senator Duckbutt is the traitor! Maybe she was the DNC's designated hitter of the day, but next time pick one with a shred of decency and self-respect.

Duckworth WAS a patriot; She turned into an unAmerican, back-stabbing liar. and it wasn't even when she was in college. Like McCain, she fought for her Country, and then turned against it.

When you can't win on the strength of your ideas, you can only grow/adapt, or lie. Duckworth and her ideological comrades are going to lie.

The left has built a monster they think will get them elected and that they will be able to control. Wrong. This monster will devour them along with the rest of us.

Yeah, well, when NRO(sans a few writers) represents their funders more than the readers, you get a press that ends up pretty vile.

She is a sad and pathetic excuse for a member of congress. Trashing her own military career in favor of scoring what she thinks will be some political points. Typical Leftist, will trash anything of value to make a point. Why does she keep getting reelected?

The uncomfortable corner Democrats find themselves in is that the slavery emancipators were Republicans, the leaders who got the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed were Republicans. Al Gore’s father filibustered it. The KKK were Democrats. Senator Byrd was a Democrat, and friend of Joe Biden. The Republicans have historically been too gutless to point out the truth. That was before Trump.

If you have not seen the History channel documentary on GRANT, I'd suggest watching when you get the chance. Very well done, and very thorough.
One item I found interesting, When Lincoln was running for a second term in 1864, he was opposed by McClellan who ran under the Democrat party. Part of the Democrat agenda was to end the war and let the South cede from the Union. This would have allowed them to keep, and maintain slavery.
And, for those who want to talk about how it took 2 years before all the slaves knew about their Emancipation, keep in mind, there was a Civil War that was on-going, so it was likely very difficult for the news to get out. The War ended April 9, 1865 and the news was officially announced to Texas (was part of the South fighting) on June 19, 1865, or just over 2 months afterwards.

Tammy is "not worth" it.
Her surname is Duckpoop (cleaned up for Lucianns Forum).
Her statements are so demonstrably false. Yet the LeftMedia, a fully owned subsidiary of the DNC, gives Tammy a megaphone.

Marxists now control all the major news outlets and are nearly in control of the internet. Their version of the truth is now all that a majority of the country have easy access to. Big brother has arrived home and is no longer living in the basement.

Duckworth is really unhinged. Apparently she has either lost her mind, or is finally telling us what she always has thought, and has carefully lied about until now.
She's a horrible person.

Trump gave an outstanding speech. Don't know any of the other people, and have no desire to know them. I filter people like I filter incoming phone calls, only the good and the true allowed through.

Democrats can lie and the lie travels around the world before the truth gets its shoes on. They can later come back and make an apology, but the lie is still floating around to be repeated by the politically left. Then an insincere apology is merely manipulation. Democrats will use anything to regain the presidency and may ever resort to assassinations. .

This is a good piece, and I'm glad it exists, but it exists only for conservative thinkers.
Unless Yahoo or the AT&T home pages picked it up? Is it featured on Google news?
I think what we have here is equivalent to a candle burning on the evening of July 4th while the media sets off major fireworks.
