Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) fired back at Vice President J.D. Vance on Wednesday after he mocked her questioning at a Senate hearing by comparing her to the fictional character Forrest Gump, a remark widely criticized as targeting her combat injuries and people with disabilities. In a post on X, she wrote, "Forrest Gump ran toward danger in Vietnam. Petty insults at the expense of people with disabilities won't change the fact that you're risking troops' lives to boost Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX) stock price. Her comment was a direct response to Vance's earlier post, in which he wrote, "Watching Tammy Duckworth obsessively interrupt Marco Rubio during this hearing is like watching Forest Gump argue with Isaac Newton."
