Allen West Doubts Tammy Duckworth's Loyalty To Country

Source: People for the American Way



Former congressman Allen West is angry about the Democratic picks for the latest House panel investigating the 2012 Benghazi attack. Speaking yesterday with Janet Mefferd, West criticized Elijah Cummings, Adam Smith, Adam Schiff, Linda Sanchez and Tammy Duckworth, the Democratic lawmakers picked to fill the party’s five slots on the 12-member GOP-led “special committee.”

West especially raised doubts about Duckworth, a veteran who lost both of her legs and the use of her right arm in the Iraq War, raising suspicions about her loyalty to the country.

“Tammy Duckworth, you know I just don’t know where her loyalties lie, for her to have been a veteran and a wounded warrior for the United States Army, she should know that this is not the right thing and hopefully she will remember the oath of office that she took as an Army officer and not the allegiance I guess she believes she has to the liberal progressives of the Democrat [sic] party,” West said.

He also attacked Sanchez for the “whiny way that she has,” called Smith a “geeky little debater” and said Cummings “should not be on that committee.”

4. Allen West is a terrorist
Thu May 22, 2014, 06:57 PM
May 2014

While serving in Taji, Iraq, West received information from an intelligence specialist about a plot to ambush his unit. The alleged plot reportedly involved Yahya Jhodri Hamoodi, an Iraqi police officer. West had his men detain Hamoodi. Soldiers testified that in the process of detaining Hamoodi, he appeared to reach for his weapon and needed to be subdued. Hamoodi was beaten by four soldiers from the 2/20th Field Artillery Battalion on the head and body. West then fired his pistol near Hamoodi's head, after which Hamoodi provided West with names and information, which Hamoodi later described as "meaningless information induced by fear and pain." At least one of these suspects was arrested as a result, but no plans for attacks or weapons were found.

After a preliminary hearing that continued into the early evening Thursday, Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court Judge Pamela Brooks ruled that there was enough probable cause to send the first-degree murder charges against Braulio Castillo to the grand jury. The prosecution will present its case to the grand jury Monday.

I am in mid late 50s and I have never seen the level of vitriol and hatred in our public discourse.

Yes there was mud-slinging from the left during the Dumbya-Darth Cheney era but nothing like what we have seen since Obama became President.

The level of hatred is evidenced everywhere from the treatment of the President to this member of Congress who sacrificed both her legs in the service of her country.

How dare he even utter her name. He is a turd in the turd bowl into which I will not even urinate because my urine deserves better.
