US Senator Tammy Duckworth, a decorated war veteran who lost both her legs in combat, has fired back sharply at Vice President JD Vance after he mocked her conduct during a Senate hearing, triggering outrage across Democratic circles and on social media.
The spat erupted after a heated exchange in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where Duckworth (D-Illinois) pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio on whether US actions in the Caribbean and against Venezuela could drag American troops into another prolonged conflict.
