But Senator Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) did just that during a debate with Representative Tammy Duckworth on Thursday night after she touted her family’s history of military service.Kirk responded, “I had forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington.”Duckworth, a military veteran who lost both her legs during the Iraq War, replied that she was “proud of both my father’s side and my mother’s side as an immigrant.”Clinton defended Duckworth on Twitter on Friday morning.Thankful for @TammyforIL's—and her family's—service to this country.
