Duckworth and Carlson Feud Over Patriotism

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Fox News Host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson came under fire this week for allegedly questioning the patriotism of Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL). Duckworth, a U.S. army veteran who lost both legs while co-piloting a helicopter in Iraq, responded to Carlson's criticism with quips including "walk a day in my legs" and "these titanium legs don't buckle." Duckworth, also a woman of color, is reportedly in the conversation to be Joe Biden's running mate. Right-rated outlets have largely backed off supporting Carlson due to his 'critiques' being perceived as 'nativist attacks.' It should be noted that a pair of Duckworth's ancestors did fight for the colonies in the American Revolution. Left-rated outlets have attacked Carlson for promoting the idea that anyone affiliated with the Democratic Party is not a patriot.
