There are many, many more issues with @MarshaBlackburn's time in public life [THREAD]:
☑ Blackburn was sent 54 compliance letters from the FEC for failing to declare over $400,000 in contributions.

☑ Directed over $1 million to her son in law while claiming the two "don't discuss issues." (@Tennessean, July 20, 2008)

☑Appeared on the agenda for conventions organized by #whitesupremacist David Horowitz twice; posed with Steve King with leaders of Austria's Freedom Party founded by actual Nazis.
☑Claims she "didn't attend" but provided no proof of whereabouts for dates in question and scrubbed social media around those dates.

☑ Blackburn was a vice chair of the Trump Inauguration, one of only nine members of Congress to so serve. It's currently under Federal investigation.

One of the issues is ties to Ukraine.

☑She took $14,500 a month - over $150,000 in salary - to be among the top ten most absent members of Congress in 2018. Votes she missed included the Defense Authorization Act and expansion of the health savings act of 2018.

☑There's some question her rhetoric while chairing the House Investigative Panel on Planned Parenthood contributed to a 2015 mass shooting which resulted in the deaths of 5 people including a police officer and a decorated Iraq veteran.

The videos on which she predicated the investigation were shot by David Dalieden, who lost a lawsuit vs @PPAct just this week.

She also used the refusal of the "baby body parts" language by Twitter and Facebook to fundraise; you may remember the "scandal."

☑She kicked off her career here in TN by instigating a 1000 person mob which broke windows at the state Capitol and harassed lawmakers.

This is especially ironic considering she had @brotherjones_ & several others arrested and prosecuted for attending one of her rallies while black.

☑She voted NO on the Violence against Women Act twice - because the Act "covered too many."

In other words, Blackburn is a real piece of work. We wish we had answers for why so many of our fellow state residents bought her lies and elected her but like Trump she's a very convincing liar if you don't ask many questions.
@ us for more details on any or all of the above. We have a lot of notes. #Resist
Oh, and, almost forgot: We died laughing watching her pretend to defend peaceful protesters in Hong Kong this week given how she reacted when confronted by criticism at the last town hall she had back in 2017.
