Marsha Blackburn, 'Politically Incorrect And Proud Of It,' Runs For Senate In Tennessee
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., announced on Tuesday she will run for Senate in Tennessee and took a shot at the current Republican leadership in her announcement video.
Calling the place she wants to work "totally dysfunctional" and "enough to drive you nuts," Blackburn touts that she is a "hard core, card-carrying Tennessee conservative. I'm politically incorrect and proud of it."
"So, let me just say it like it is: The fact that our Republican majority in the U.S. Senate can't overturn Obamacare, or will not overturn Obamacare it's a disgrace," the eight-term congresswoman continues. "Too many Senate Republicans act like Democrats or worse. And that's what we have to change."
Blackburn is a frequent cable news guest and had a prime-time speaking slot at the 2016 Republican National Convention. She has long been a loyal conservative foot soldier and ticks off in her video the ways she would stand with President Trump repealing the Affordable Care Act, backing the president's immigration ban and his border wall and his feud with the NFL over kneeling during the national anthem.
