GOP committee tweets that Iraq vet, a double-amputee, âhas a sad record of not standing up for our veteransâ
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which works to elect and re-elect Republican senators, fell prey to seriously unfortunate phraseology when its account tweeted: https://twitter.com/frankthorpNBC/sta... It's an innocuous jab â common among partisan Twitter â absent the knowledge that Rep. Duckworth (R-Ill.) is a double-amputee who lost both legs while serving in Iraq after her helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. The NRSC account promptly deleted the tweet and issued the following response:
"It would be great if reporters would pay as much attention to a deleted tweet as they should to Tammy Duckworth being sued by VA whistleblowers for ignoring claims of mistreatment and corruption."
