GOP senator crumbles fortune cookies in vow to 'stop Communist China' [View all]

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn, who is running to be her state’s next governor, has crushed a pile of fortune cookies for her new campaign video to illustrate her intention to “stop Communist China.”

“How hard am I gonna crack down on China?” Blackburn, 74, asks, sitting alone in a Chinese restaurant. “Well, here’s a clue.”

She proceeds to crumble up the cookies between her palms, allowing their shards to accumulate on top of the laminated menu before her as a stentorian voiceover proclaims: “Marsha Blackburn worked with President Trump to take on Communist China.

“As governor, Marsha will fight to protect Tennessee land from Chinese front companies, close loopholes, and hunt down every Communist who tries to defy us.”

Tennessee must be so proud. FWIW fortune cookies were invented in San Francisco.
