Sen. Marsha Blackburn comments on Lt Col Alexander Vindman

”Adam Schiff is hailing Alexander Vindman as an American patriot.

How patriotic is it to badmouth and ridicule our great nation in front
of Russia, America’s greatest enemy?”

He badmouthed its treasonous leader, as you should well know, being a traitorous Senator that should be imprisoned along with the rest of your treasonous, traitorous, treacherous party.

Then explain why all your fellow republicans aren't traitors by selling them favors and cozying up to them at the expense of our democracy.

Go ahead. We're waiting.

their infiltration of her party, and her life. The family friend heading Blackburn's campaigns, plus working for 4 years for one of her political groups, was a link between various Russians and the NRA. And Russians and Blackburn herself, though identified benefits to her seem relatively minor. Nevertheless, there's probably a Blackburn doth protest too much thing going on here.




Checked out Resistance (At All Costs): How Trump Haters Are Breaking America. A 256-page intellectual rivet if you're reading challenged in the first place. My guess is most of those this is written down to learn all they need from Fox & Friends.

Senator" Marsha Blackburn took time out from her very
important book-reading-during-impeachment trial to shit all
over Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, unquestioned patriot and
recipient of the Purple Heart.

The GOP is trash.







Thanks, America!!!

Sen Blackburn has chosen to denigrate a man who was
injured on the battle field and received a Purple Heart,
in order to defend a man who claimed “bone spurs” stopped
him from serving his country. Great job Senator. You’re a real patriot.

The Republicans are all about soundbites and propaganda and couldn’t care less about patriotism, or the Constitution, or the rule of law.

that Blackburn has spent the trial reading a book that appears to be either regular fiction/non-fiction.
