Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), who lost both her legs fighting in the Iraq War, called Donald Trump “despicable” for comments Thursday about soldiers honored for their actions in combat, Politico reports.
Said Duckworth: “Donald Trump is despicable. He doesn’t deserve to be commander in chief. And certainly those remarks are consistent with where he’s always been. He thinks that we’re suckers and losers.”
