Conservative whines Tammy Duckworth will ‘weaponize her baby’ on Senate floor — and the backlash is brutal
A day after it was reported that Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) would be allowed to bring her newborn daughter Maile Pearl Bowlsbey onto the Senate floor if necessary, a conservative pundit for Turning Point USA lamented the impact that baby could have on future legislation that might affect children and mothers.
After there were complaints about how having a nursing newborn among the mostly male Senate might affect the political body’s “decorum,” Richard Armande Mills took to Twitter to express misgivings.
“I agree with their statements on “decorum.” Not because I have a problem with babies at the workplace, but because I have issues with Duckworth potentially being able to weaponize that baby to affect legislative decision making. And I could see her doing that,” Mills tweeted.
The conservative who previously expressed concerns about “unborn children,” was promptly spanked harshly on social media for comparing a newborn to a “weapon” used to promote social services that primarily help the poor.
You can see his tweet and the brutal responses below:

Anti-choice forces already weaponize “babies” when they force women to have them.

Well shit. That’s just the dumbest Goddamn thing I’ve heard in a while.— soonergrunt 🇺🇸 (@soonergrunt) April 19, 2018
What? No one told me I could WEAPONIZE MY BABY!!!! I would have gotten in on that way earlier. She’s almost 9…can I still weaponize her or is it strictly off limits past toddlerhood?

Not sure how to weaponize a baby, but a bet she could lob some diaper grenades across the aisle.

To weaponize a baby really means to have on the Senate floor a living, breathing reminder of the existence of a group of people who are helpless through no fault of their own & challenge Senators to acknowledge their words/actions/laws have actual consequences for actual humans.

Damn, i wish I had consulted him on effective strategies to “weaponize” a baby so I could’ve done that with mine.

Anyone know a good store to shop at to weaponize my baby? Babies R Us just went bankrupt. https://t.co/5wnMpT1kjR

“Weaponize that baby” is obviously the immortal phrase here, but it’s funny that conservatives can’t imagine that a man would also benefit from this new rule. https://t.co/LvlOH5FpEV

Babies can only be weaponized if you stuff them in a T-shirt cannon.

Lewandowski’s testimony will let Democrats build Nixon-like articles of impeachment: Ex-prosecutor
As President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski combatively testified before the House Judiciary Committee, he admitted that Trump asked him to communicate to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions that former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation must be shut down. Aside from that revelation, most of the testimony was unproductive, with Lewandowski lashing out at members of Congress and running interference for the president.
But as former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti wrote on Twitter, these outbursts — and the fact that Trump sanctioned the way that Lewandowski behaved in the hearing — could be the basis for Democrats to write up articles of impeachment against Trump similar to those drafted against Richard Nixon in 1974:
Russian President Vladimir Putin joked this week about selling defense systems to Riyadh following weekend attacks on Saudi oil facilities. The gag was aimed at US President Donald Trump and it hit the mark with the precision of a guided weapon.
It was a masterful piece of trolling by the czar of trolls – a snide, disparaging jibe with an element of truth twisted into absurdity for maximum effect and laughs. At a joint press conference with his Turkish and Iranian counterparts in Ankara on Monday, Putin cast his bait into the volatile Persian Gulf region just days after devastating attacks on Saudi oil facilities exposed the limits of the Gulf kingdom’s expensive defense systems.

Rick Wilson obliterates Dems for letting Lewandowski get away with stonewalling: ‘So bad it makes me cringe’
Anti-Trump Republican strategist Rick Wilson dropped the hammer on House Democrats Tuesday for letting Trump minion Corey Lewandowski make a mockery of their oversight powers.
After witnessing a House Judiciary Committee hearing that quickly devolved into a circus with Lewandowski stonewalling and evading questions, Wilson unloaded on Democrats for failing in their basic responsibilities in governmental oversight.
"This is outrageous contempt," Wilson wrote. "It isn't just that this scumbag Lewandowski is slapping the committee with it. This is a test, and the Democrats are going to fail it. They're so bad at this it makes me cringe."
