“A new book details Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-IL) strong pushback to the Biden team rejecting her for vice president on the grounds her Thailand birth to an American father would give rise to distracting birther lies and possibly litigation,” the Chicago Sun Times reports.
Said Duckworth: “I’ve beaten every asshole. who’s come after me with that.”
In the end, Joe Biden told her it’s “not a question of whether you’re eligible, he said. It’s just a question of whether we want this to become a distraction in the campaign.”
