Durbin rips Vance over Duckworth insult: 'Low and beneath the dignity' of a vice
Source: The Hill
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) criticized Vice President Vance Thursday morning, calling comments he made about the other senator from Illinois, Tammy Duckworth (D), low.

Then, he became a USMC journalist and spent his time in Iran in the rear with the beer. In Vietnam, he would have been known as a REMF -- Rear Echelon Mother Fucker.
Senator Duckworth flew Blackhawk helicopters in Iraq, was trying to extract wounded when her helicopter was shot down -- she lost both legs and some use of one arm.
J.D. Vance is not his real name and his book is 99% lie.
