On Sunday, Arne Duncan, who served as secretary of education under the Obama administration, took to social media to insult a sizable portion of the American population by likening people who are still unvaccinated to the radical Islamic suicide bombers who just murdered US service members at the Kabul airport last week.
“Have you noticed how strikingly similar both the mindsets and actions between the suicide bombers at Kabul’s airport, and the anti-mask and anti-vax people here?” Duncan wrote on Twitter. “They both blow themselves up, inflict harm on those around them, and are convinced they are fighting for freedom.”

Does this human debris even understand how horrible his tweet was? To say that people who have real questions about the COVID vaccines have a similar mindset and take the same actions as people who strap bombs onto their bodies to kill as many people as possible isn’t just ignorant, it’s evil, callous, and cruel.
I can’t believe this guy was vetted enough to be in charge of America’s Department of Education. He sounds like a childish nut.
Duncan made the post shortly before the bodies of 13 US service members, who were murdered in last week’s ISIS-K terrorist suicide bombing attack in Afghanistan outside the Kabul airport, were received by the president and first lady at Dover Air Force Base on Sunday.
He knew the 13 military members were killed at that point and you have to wonder what caused him to make such a comment publicly?
Think about the families of the military service members who were killed having to listen to absolute garbage like this.
This goes to show how much progressive Democrats hate our military and hate our country. On top of that, the progressive leftists do not understand freedom or liberty. They think unvaccinated people are the enemy. They’re an American as it gets. What is wrong with people like that?
Duncan’s comments sparked a lot of heat on social media, with people pointing out the irony of his words just a day after he encouraged people to “treat each other with compassion.”
“What a difference a day makes,” one user wrote, calling out Duncan’s “rapid hypocrisy.”

Liz Wheeler of #TheLizWheelerShow and formerly OANN, pointed out how bad our public school system is because of people like Duncan.
“And people wonder why I blast the public school system & ABSOLUTELY will homeschool my kids. Lunatics like this are brainwashing your children.”

This user hits home with how reckless Duncan’s tweet is.
“Wow, even though I had COVID and my natural immunity rivals anything the vaccine offers, I am being compared to a suicide bomber. As a former service member who spent months at a time in Afghanistan serving my country, I find this very offensive.”

“No. I haven’t… because they’re not similar. You lack a soul and brain. The only thing striking is your ignorance.”
