It’s 2018. The Senate has existed for 231 years.

I guess women didn’t start giving birth until a few years ago. Or all senators have been men for two centuries.

An honorable, decorated war veteran and a responsible, loving parent.

Two things (among many) that Cadet BoneSpur isn’t.

Congrats, Senator…

God Bless her…a baby at 50. My sister is 52 and I asked her if she could even contemplate a baby at 50…it was milliseconds before a “HELL NO” was expressed.

Congratulations Tammy.
Keep up the good fight.

also, she is 50, which is young for the senate, and old for giving birth.

I haven’t been this pleased to hear of a kid since Anna Lee Fisher.

Mazel Tov to the Duckworth family! I hope the good Senator and baby Maile Pearl are both doing fine. Nice to hear good news for a change.

Its just mind-blowing that this is the first time in US history, in the 21st century no less, that the first woman Senator has given birth while in office. Makes ya realize we gotta a long way to go in this country…
