Tammy Duckworth actually said...

I will be fighting on their behalf. And what I'm going to say to them and to the American people is that when I was bleeding to death in my helicopter after that RPG ripped through cockpit of the aircraft, and an American came to save my life, it didn't matter to me if they were gay, if they were straight, if they were transgender. It only mattered that they wore the uniform of the United States military.
