just unbelievable!
Tammy Duckworth was caught not telling the truth at last night’s debate and Illinois families are shocked by what they learned! During the debate, Tammy Duckworth denied allegations that she is facing a whistleblower lawsuit for a violation of the Illinois Officers and Employees Ethics Act by using public humiliation, wrongful termination and intimidation as a reporting supervisor at the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs.
Tammy said that she is not facing a lawsuit and that this claim is “not true” but court documents prove Tammy is trying to deceive voters. When pressed further during the debate and by reporters in a post-debate press conference, Tammy wouldn’t answer the question. We know Tammy has been in trouble before for bad behavior, but this is beyond the pale.
This latest revelation and denial from Tammy Duckworth proves that she is not afraid to deceive voters for political gain. Sound familiar?
NRCC Statement: “Rod Blagojevich taught Tammy Duckworth how to be a politician so it shouldn’t be shocking that she would try to cover this up. Tammy Duckworth needs to be honest with Illinois families and finally fess up about this lawsuit.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Katie Prill
