Marsha Blackburn busted for doing Faux interview when she was supposed to be in the chamber



Brian Stelter ✔ @brianstelter

Schumer's office called Blackburn out, see below. I've confirmed that this Fox segment was live. She stepped out during a break, then the trial resumed while she was waiting for her hit...

Justin Goodman @JustinPGoodman

It appears Republican Senator Marcia Blackburn was just caught doing a live interview on Fox News instead of sitting in the Senate chamber.

Hey TN - that's your esteemed Senator NOT doing the most important task she'll ever face as a Senator. Next time, do better, TN.

She is a fool and crazy. It's all those malfunctioning voting machines the GOP made us use. That's the only way she got in....by rigging the vote.

Plus TN doesn't do much of a job at education, especially among the poor.

We tried. Her competition was the esteemed Phil Bredesen, a former two-term Democratic mayor of Metro Nashville and a former two-term Governor who won the Governor's house in a landslide both times but could no longer compete against the deep red brainwashing that has taken place here in TN.

Marsha is doing what's good for Marsha, which is all she's EVER done. She is stupid, and cruel, and worthless-- except to the russkies, the NRA, and her orange god.

Having lived in NE TN for years I can say that the majority those folks will never support a Democrat. Period.

it's not like she has to listen to evidence, or make important decisions about admitting evidence, or anything. Moscow Mitch will let her know when he wants her to vote for Trump's complete exoneration.

Jail time? Impeachment? Are you kidding me?
Republicans do not suffer consequences, ever.
