The GOP senator tries to imply that because Duckworth is part Asian, her family's contributions towards military service for this country that goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War is some how lessened.
The worst part is that Kirk thinks he somehow made a clever remark, and the only thing you hear are crickets chirping after complete shock to his insultingly racist remark to which he is completely oblivious.

No, he doesn't. He's calling her on her statement that her family has served going back to the revolution. In response to that he said, 'Oh yeah, I forgot your parents family came all the way over from Thailand to serve under General Washington.
He was unaware her father was or is of American heritage. I didn't know either.
Ignorant for not being better informed and assuming, but certainly not attacking her heritage. Geeze.

Politicians are supposed to know all the oppo, provided by their opposition research team, on their opponents. This just makes him look even worse
"Sincere apologies to an American hero, Tammy Duckworth, and gratitude for her family's service. #ilsen," he tweeted.
He apologized. Should just let it go. He didn't know, now he knows. Problem solved.
