Senator Marsha Blackburn Gets Schooled on U.S. Geography

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) made quite an impression on me in challenging Judge Ketanji Jackson Brown in the recent confirmation hearings, posing pointed if not nonsensical questions such as “what is a woman?”  

 

Curtis Wong for Huffington Post reports on Senator Blackburn’s “spectacular misfire” in attempting to attack President Biden’s immigration policies.   Earlier this week she tweeted that “Tennesseans want a wall on our southern border.”

 

Blackburn’s “comment drew a chorus of jeers, with many Twitter users pointing out that Tennessee is located more than 1,000 miles away from the U.S. southern border. The Volunteer State’s southern neighbors are Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi ― none of which border Mexico. “
