Tell Joe Walsh to stop the Insults
By Tammy Duckworth for Congress (Contact)
To be delivered to: Rep. Tammy Duckworth (IL-8)
Petition Statement
At a fundraiser this weekend, here’s what Joe Walsh said about the President:
“I think it’s going to respectfully pick this president up and pat him on the head and say, son, son, son, Mr. President, you were never ready to be President, now go home and work for somebody and find out how the real world works.”
Congressman Walsh: Your comments are inappropriate and offensive, especially coming from a member of Congress.

Petition Background
Congressman Joe Walsh has a long history of using condescending names and insults toward people whom he disagrees with politically. He has also patronizingly called me “my dear,” disparaged my military service, referred to a female TV host as “kiddo,” claimed that African Americans are “dependent upon government” and that “Jesse Jackson would be out of work if they weren’t,” and said that veterans who disagree with him “don’t understand this country.”
It’s bad enough that Walsh constantly refuses common-sense compromises on legislation. But not treating political opponents with even a minimum level of civility? That’s unacceptable.
It can be easy to tune out Walsh’s offensive comments since, frankly, there are just so many of them. But we have a responsibility to hold him accountable every time.
