Senator makes racist remark to double amputee Iraq war veteran

Senator makes racist remark to double amputee Iraq war veteran in attempt to cut down family’s military service.

Tammy Duckworth: “My family has served this nation in uniform, going back to the Revolution. I’m a daughter of the American Revolution. I’ve bled for this nation. But I still want to be there in the Senate when the drums of war sound. Because people are quick to sound the drums of war, and I wasn’t to be there to say this is what it costs, this is what you’re asking us to do…Families like mine are the ones that bleed first.”

Sen. Mark Kirk: “I had forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington”
