Staff of U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn says she misspoke by calling Biden 'president-elect'

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a stalwart supporter of President Donald Trump, on Friday referred to Joe Biden as the country's "president-elect," a comment her staff later said was a mistake.

Blackburn made the comments Friday evening live on ABC News, where she was being interviewed by Juju Chang.

The remark placed her among just a handful of Republican senators signaling acknowledgement of Biden's projected victory.

(big ol' snip)

"I will say now is the time for the Trump campaign, if they have their information that they need to present in court, now is the time that they need to be taking that evidence to court," Blackburn said in the interview.

When Chang pressed Blackburn on whether she believes it's time for Republicans to accept the outcome of the election and move forward with Biden as the presumptive winner, the senator appeared to attempt to walk back her earlier comments.

"There will be a time to do that," Blackburn said. "Right now it is important that we settle things. I think if every legal vote is counted, Donald Trump would get four more years."

It’s amazing how much control the Republican party has over all its members.

Or, one of Trump's idiot lawyers, including this one, when he's not dripping black hair dye.

Throw in a little puppet mouth too. There are YouTube videos on how to get rid of those.
