Dworkin Report - Every Democrat Must Do What Sen. Tammy Duckworth Just Did

We’ve been running a massive pressure campaign to stop 9 of Trump’s worst cabinet picks, for more than two months now. So it’s great to see Senator Tammy Duckworth go on corporate media, and absolutely slam some of these dangerous nominees.

Duckworth, who sits on the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee, is an American hero. The Senator served in the Iraq War, and is a Purple Heart recipient.

In 2004, Duckworth lost her legs and severely injured her right arm, when her helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG).

On MSNBC, the Senator said Pete Hegseth is “just not qualified.” Then went on to say Republicans are “trying to shove through his confirmation as quickly as possible, before more news can break of more allegations.” It “speaks to how unfit he is.”

If somebody would put those reports out into the public so that we could all see what is so shameful to the GOP.

But we really need to get on network TV. Get booked onto Sunday political shows. Say and do things that get the attention of network news for interviews. I don't mean acting like a MAGA idiot. But there are accurate, attention getting statements that can be made in calling out oligarchs and Trump.

Susan Collins & Lisa Murkowski voted against ending the filibuster.
If two more Repubs had joined them & voted against the filibuster, Hegseth would be toast.(Vote was 51-49)
He has to be the worst choice for Defense Secretary in history.
