GOP senator attacked Lt Col Vindman for not being patriotic -- while she was ignoring the impeachment

Published 5 hours ago on January 23, 2020
By Sarah K. Burris

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) attacked veteran and former Soviet escapee Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman while she was supposed to be attending the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

Blackburn, who’s been criticized for not paying attention, was either tweeting from the chamber or left the Senate floor to tweet out her displeasure of the former Iraq vet.

“Alexander Vindman broke the chain of command and leaked the contents of the President’s July 25th phone call to his pal, the “whistleblower.” Over a policy dispute with the President!” Blackburn said. “How is that not vindictive?”

On the first day of the trial, Blackburn was caught spending most of her time talking to Fox News. Thursday she was observed reading a book that had nothing to do with the impeachment trial and tweeted multiple times attacking others.

and prayed the world would see what she had said IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIAL NO LESS

...and next thing you know, “Marsha”, “Purple Heart” and “Vindman” were all trending in the top ten!! It was glorious!!

But sweeter still came the moment when Adam Schiff closed his moving and historic speech by QUOTING LT COL VINDMAN: “Right matters.”

Have a really shitty night, Blackburn

SERIOUSLY
