Sen. Tammy Duckworth endorses political violence, calling L.A. riots mere ‘civilian dissent’; blames National Guard and Trump for creating chaos – Wirepoints Quickpoint

Senator Tammy Duckworth’s words Sunday afternoon on X (Twitter) are nothing short of an endorsement of violence and lawbreaking to achieve political ends.

Rioting in Los Angeles to obstruct enforcement of immigration law is just “civilian dissent,” she said in her post. And it’s not the rioters who are “creating chaos,” she says, but the National Guard and Trump. Suppressing the riots with the National Guard is “un-American,” she says. Keep in mind that the riots began on Friday, but Trump did not call for the National Guard until Saturday night and they did not arrive until Sunday.

Here is her full post:

That would be too generous. She should be cleaning outhouses in Cook county forest preserves.

If this isn’t absolutely necessary, then when is? How much destruction must take place first?

Here we go again, paid “demonstrators” like we had with Antifa/George Floyd riots.

George Floyd died of a drug overdose. Anything else is a propaganda democrat media lie.

Let’s ask Tammy whether she has sponsored an undocumented family, to live perhaps in her basement, or the spare bedroom in her DC home, to serve as paid household staff, with benefits, or as congressional staffer, with even better benefits. Maybe she’s bought her sponsored undocumented family a car, so that they don’t need to ride public transportation, and maybe arranged a college scholarship for the oldest child, who obviously wants to become a doctor, all at taxpayers’ cost…. Oh, the Duckworths didn’t sponsor a migrant family, didn’t house an adult single male migrant? Oh, her protectio detail won’t allow… Read more »

Seems that ICE was conducting a legal raid on multiple criminals suspected of human trafficking and other, not a widespread sweep. Interfering is obstruction of justice, not civilian dissent. The city and state failed to respond to obstruction of justice, in reality they welcome and enable it. Our mayor and Pritzker rival Bass & Newsom for misguided political malfeasance, and are likely to be on full ignorant display today once again.

Duckworth needs to be voted out. Anyone who supports violence should be arrested. She supports illegals over US citizens. She does not represent me. She has done nothing for IL. She’s a waste of salary.

Bass & Newsom are downright conservative compared to Johnson & Pritzger…

I’m afraid when ICE returns to Chicago, the ‘civil dissent’ here will out do LA’s…

Spot on. JB will fund the ‘organic’ protestors as part of the Pritzker for President 2028 campaign. JB needs to out Progressive Newsom and pump up his national media credentials..

Where does she endorse political violence?

The fact that she down plays what we see with our own eyes, the fact that she characterizes the violence against Police, damage to the City, looting and destruction of private property as “Civil Dissent”…with those statements she endorses the actions. The truth is she is a moron and does not represent anyone but herself. She is an embarrassment to the State of Illinois…and with JumboJB and the Pinhead…she has a lot of competition.

In that the event is being promoted by one of Sam Walton’s heirs makes me less inclined to shop WalMart and Sam’s.

Inheriting a fortune doesn’t mean you have the right to disrupt people’s lives.

TDS is strong in you, Ms. Walton – get help.

Geez Tammie– I guess when folks harbor murders, rapist and kidnappers, then block Highway 101, and burn cars in intersections– and local law enforcement does not do anything about it– that’s still not enough “necessary” for you. So all that’s ok, just like destroying Michigan Avenue a few years back, burning down buildings in Minneapolis. When is it necessary for you? Do folks have to be murdered? Do they have to burn down city hall. Do they have to loot your office? She is a bona fide war hero and a bona fide disgrace.

Her service, though honorable and appreciated, doesn’t qualify her to govern.

Funny thing about political office – you don’t have to have ANY experience or qualifications to run for office. Ms. Duckworth is a shining example of an unqualified office holder.

Tammy Duckworth is a brainless fool who leans on her military service as some shining qualifier that she thinks makes her some beacon of leadership. She is anything but that. She and little Dick Durbin are two useless wastes of space in the US congress.

And peaceful protesters? Misleading photographs, videos and text have spread widely on social media as protests against immigrant raids have unfolded in Los Angeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories and expressing support for President Trump’s actions.
The flood of falsehoods online appeared intended to stoke outrage toward immigrants and political leaders, principally Democrats.

Wow. You appear to be gullible. Hows about you expand your media bubble a bit. Here’s a hint: NPR is propaganda and will soon be gone.

This woman is an embarrassment. The DNC put out the word that “this is what you say” about the LA riots and blame Trump. So, all the morons like The DUCK here parrot that same statement. What a pathetic waste of time she is.

Federal agents were attacked by a Leftist mob while conducting legal operation. Mayor of LA told city police to not help, Gov of CA also. PDJT took action. Ms Duckworth is part of the problem. How low can IL go?

They will probably elect a hardcore Communist to sit in her or Durbin’s seat next time.

“Elect” a hardcore Communist? No, Pritzker the oligarch will buy himself one.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
