Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) fired back at President Trump for calling Democrats who didn’t stand and applaud during his State of the Union address “treasonous,” saying she didn’t swear an oath “to mindlessly cater to the whims of Cadet Bone Spurs.”
Tammy Duckworth✔ @SenDuckworth We don't live in a dictatorship or a monarchy. I swore an oath—in the military and in the Senate—to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to mindlessly cater to the whims of Cadet Bone Spurs and clap when he demands I clap https://twitter.com/mitchellreports/status/960609070075076611 … 7:04 PM - Feb 5, 2018
Trump called Democrats “treasonous” earlier Monday for not applauding when he listed his achievements to Congress last Tuesday.
"Can we call that treason? Why not?" Trump said during a speech about the GOP tax plan in Ohio. "They certainly didn't seem to love our country very much."
Duckworth was referring to Trump’s multiple deferments from the draft during the Vietnam War, one of which was for heel spurs, or bone protrusions caused by calcium buildup.
The Democrat also shared a quote by President Theodore Roosevelt saying that to block criticism of the president “is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Hey Tammy, how many times did you stand and applaud Bill Clinton? You know, that draft dodger and rapist.
So she’s blatantly violating the part about defending the Constitution against domestic enemies.
Cadet Bone Spurs? Wasn’t he Buzz Corey’s sidekick on Space Patrol?
Maybe she thinks she is defending against domestic enemies?
Voting for a 3rd party loser is not doing a civic duty.
No, she thinks she’s defending for domestic enemies against the United States.
Ex-military or not, matters not, you, as with the rest of your ilk showed utter disrespect on many levels, Duckworth....you are lucky Trump said what he said cause I would have called you SOBs far, far worse....
I Thought the Treasonous was in reference to there "Getting Caught" aka FISAgate.
Tell me where I am wrong here...
I'm sure she looks at it different. One person's traitor is another person's freedom fighter and all that.
She’s right about the moron part. :D
Except when the term “the United States” is defined as a fixed entity. In such a case, anyone determined from the inside to force the United States into radical change is a domestic enemy.
