2:59Now PlayingDuckworth slams Trump for Iran war
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) criticized President Trump in an emotional speech on Wednesday as she introduced a war powers resolution to limit the president's ability to wage war against Iran.
"I'm here today under this great Capitol dome to keep that most sacred oath, because right now, thousands of our troops are ready to do their jobs, even if it means laying down their lives," she said. "It's tragic — it's disgusting — to me that even as they prepare to do their jobs, our president and some members of this chamber seem so eager to neglect their own."
Sen. Duckworth served as an Army helicopter pilot during the Iraq War, in which her aircraft was shot down, costing her both of her legs. She retired from the armed forces in 2014.
"I know what it's like and what is at stake for the troops this administration is sending into harm's way," Sen. Duckworth said. "We must safeguard their valor and their professionalism by doing our jobs."
