Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) objected to the timing of President Joe Biden’s announcement of a Supreme Court nominee on Friday, citing the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops.

“President Biden’s announcement just days after an unprovoked full scale invasion by Russia is extremely inappropriate,” Blackburn said in a statement. “Once again, Biden is putting the demands of the radical progressive left ahead of what is best for our nation.”


The conservative Tennessee lawmaker accused the president of attempting “to hide that for over three months Biden refused to levy sanctions against Russia.

Yo Marsha! Unlike the TDFG you gushed over, Joe Biden can walk, chew gum, and conduct a conversation all at the same time. So you can take your objections and shove it where the sun does not shine!

I look around and see 0% of our agenda being passed.

Today I saw a street flyer saying Biden was a White Supremacist because he said he supported more funding for cops.

Which is it, America?
