Tammy Duckworth Suddenly Cares About Syria Refugees
 [Breitbart] Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) who is running for Sen. Mark Kirk's (R-IL) U.S. Senate seat, is suddenly speaking out about Syrian refugees, after doing and saying nothing for years.She published an op-ed in the Chicago Tribune: "Reject fearmongers, welcome Syrian refuges." She went on Wednesday's Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC to repeat those sentiments. Curiously, though, Duckworth never did much for Syria or refugees before the Paris attacks, or before GOP opposition arose to Obama's refugee plan. In 2013, Duckworth opposed President Barack Obama's plan for limited strikes against Syria, saying: ""War is messy. War is never that simple." She said that while "Syria is undergoing a humanitarian crisis," and "the United States cannot stand by as innocent civilians are being massacred," she wanted "to make sure we don't commit resources, the most precious of which are our men and women in uniform, with no comprehensive plan for our involvement." Machine money needed? No problem, here are your talking points. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-11-20 |
