Former-Home-Shopping-Network-sales-gal-turned-U.S.-congresswoman Marsha Blackburn is trending on Twitter this morning after she went on Newsmax to call for women’s rights activists peacefully protesting the Supreme Court potentially overturning Roe v. Wade to be jailed.
Related: Master of communication Marsha Blackburn once again has folks wondering “is she really that dumb?”
“They should haul all these people down to police headquarters, they should book them,” Blackburn said while speaking about the who people that gathered outside Justice Alito’s house last night to sip wine, nibble cheese, and protest women’s rights being stripped away. “They’re trying to change the outcome of a SCOTUS decision, and they’re doing it by showing force and intimidation.”

Blackburn’s remarks are ironic, to say the least, considering that after Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, she released a joint statement with fellow Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty stating their plans to take a “united stand against the tainted electoral results from the recent Presidential election.”
“American democracy relies on the consent of the governed,” the statement read. “Protecting the integrity of the electoral process is paramount to preserving trust and legitimacy in the final outcome.”
In the end, Blackburn, who got her Bachelor’s degree in home economics, ultimately voted to certify the election results. But then a few weeks later she voted to acquit Donald Trump after he incited a deadly insurrection on the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overthrow those very election results.
Here’s what folx on Twitter are saying about Blackburn’s Newsmax appearance…
Hey #Marsha, the purpose of protesting is to bring about change. The right to peacefully protest is protected in the 1st Amendment. And, its not a crime to try to influence the Court’s decisions. Refer to the Constitution you swore to protect and defend.#FreshWords#RoeVsWade

The SCOTUS has upheld:
– Westboro Baptist Church protests at soldiers’ funerals
– Protests outside the homes of abortion clinic employees
– Removal of buffer zones in front of abortion clinicsEither free speech is absolute or it’s not.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn demanded that SCOTUS protestors be "hauled off and arrested." By a unanimous vote, Congress has asked FEMA to intervene on behalf of Marsha's hair and extract all the families and livestock trapped inside it pic.twitter.com/EapeyXv1GC

A pox on Marsha Blackburn.

Her degree is in home economics, not law.

These are the same folks who believe the 2nd amendment allows them to take up arms against their own govt. How can they believe that any protest, violent or otherwise, is wrong?

The only thing more corrupt than Marsha Blackburn is her hair

Why are we required to adhere to the majority opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States when the Supreme Court of the United States is not required to adhere to the majority opinion of the people?

Republicans are anti-American

I like her hair. Her? Not so much.
Mister P
The Grand Old Failure Party has wrongly accused the LGBTQ community of demanding special rights because that is exactly what they want for themselves.

@Mister P, I am furious with you for having stolen my GOF – Grand Old Failure Party name! Just joking and love you for it. I am delighted that you are using the terminology to described the GOF. I suggest and humbly request that going forward, all anti GOF commentators on Queerty call them just that. It will certainly get the trolls and bots spewing fire.

Free speech is only for reactionaries.
Everyone else needs to shut up.
Mr. Stadnick
Is she a drunk? She looks like she is. Her thought process seems muddled too. I vote alcoholic.

Marsha Blackburn took an oath to uphold the US Constitution but once again demonstrates she has no clue what’s in the US Constitution! Her default is clearly fascist authoritarianism.
She disgraces her job in the US Senate and her home state. Heckuva job, Tennessee!

The sound of a slow dripping faucet is orders of magnitude more delightful compared to MB’s southern twang displaying her innate stupidity every time she opens her cavernous mouth. How can people ever elect someone like that who looks and sounds like an old fashioned vacuum cleaner with a mop for a hairdo and the same brain capacity? Oh, I almost forgot – she’s a “Repooplican”; and that makes it ok.

I’m actually considering joining the CA secessionist movement over this. WA, OR, NV, and HI can come to. We’d be instantly the 4th largest economy in the world and the money we would save from not propping a federal gov’t built of mostly right wing welfare states would be a boon for us. Sorry, not sorry, but I’m done sharing a seat with these idiots. I will gladly sip wine while I watch the flyover states drown in their own ignorance and starve when they can no longer provide for themselves.
Mister P
Thank you white Queer. I should have attributed that to you.
I love your comments.

Marsha Marsha Marsha … She’s just another right wing dolt. Just opens her mouth and says the stupidest , most ass backwards, IGNORANT drivel . She spews hatred and venom. One day Marsha your karma is gonna get your horrible nasty self. And it’s gonna be epic ……
