Duffy was warming up the crowd for President Donald Trump when he decided to attack the multitude of musical acts who had declined to perform at the event after realizing it would be partisan. Very partisan.
“I think we have to give a big round of applause for our military band and singers,” he told the crowd. “Way better than those libtards that canceled on us. So much better. Thank you, guys. President Trump will make you famous.”
Duffy’s insult, which combines the words “liberal” and “retard,” was received poorly on social media, in part because he said it while standing next to his youngest daughter, Valentina, who has Down syndrome.
JS reached out to Duffy for a response to all the attention his choice of words got. Spoiler alert: He may have been miffed.
“I will not be lectured by the same people who want to abort babies with special needs,” Duffy said. “Rather than policing language, maybe liberals should spend time with these beautiful children, acknowledge their humanity, and while they’re at it, try loving their country more than they hate President Trump.”
