But the Commander-in-Chief has a particularly potent one in Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), an unabashed advocate for progressive policies who lost both legs as an Army helicopter pilot fighting in Iraq. Duckworth’s latest clapback to Trump came after he told a crowd in Ohio that Democrats were guilty of treason. Their offense? Not standing and applauding during his State of the Union address. White House officials, including Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, were quick to say that the President was joking, but Duckworth wasn’t laughing. “I swore an oath… to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not to mindlessly cater to the whims of Cadet Bone Spurs and clap when he demands I clap,” Duckworth tweeted on Monday, referencing Trump’s Vietnam-era draft deferments for bone spurs in his foot. Social is on its feet for the wheelchair-bound Duckworth, giving her a whopping 79 percent positive. –Hugo Guzman
