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.

‘Here is your 2 minutes of hate from a noun a verb and 9-11’: Rudy Giuliani ripped after lying about Rep. Omar
Former lawyer to President Donald Trump went nuts spreading lies about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Twitter Sunday, and what followed was a flood of people calling him out.
There is nothing racist about @realDonaldTrump. The criticism of#Squad is because of their hateful views of our federal agents, anti-semitism,referring to us as garbage etc.Have you ever heard them say,with its faults,the USA is the greatest country on earth. Maybe we can agree?

Trump’s racist attacks on Dem lawmakers are a test run in case he faces Kamala Harris in 2020: MSNBC contributor
Speaking with host Alex Witt on Sunday afternoon, an MSNBC contributor speculated that Donald Trump's racist attack on four female Democrats -- none of whom are white -- was a test run to see how far he can go attacking Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) should she be his opponent in the 2020 general election.
According to Democratic strategist Don Calloway, Trump may not have a grand strategy, but he's in "campaign mode" which brings out his barely concealed inner-racist.
"I'm not one to ascribe a strategy to the president when it's clear he's not a deep thinker, but he is, however, in campaign mode," he explained. "I see this as a good campaign device for him to gin up his base, fueled by the xenophobia and race-based hatred."

Here’s how lawyers enabling Trump’s obstruction can have their livelihoods stripped from them — by anyone
In a column for the Daily Beast, a former Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives laid out a simple way to force lawyers advising aides to Donald Trump to defy Congressional subpoenas -- or avoiding one themselves -- to stop giving bad advice by moving to have them disbarred.
According to Brad Miller, who represented North Carolina in Congress between 2003 and 2013, the way in which former President Bill Clinton's impeachment was handled -- and the penalty he eventually received -- is a road map for legal retaliation even if Democrats in Congress won't do it.
