We can't imagine a more clueless Twitter face plant during the Senate "trial" of demagogue and Kremlin asset Donald "I Need A Favor, Though" Trump than this dreck from Tennessee's disgraceful junior Senator, tweeting while she's supposed to be paying attention on the Senate floor:
Adam Schiff is hailing Alexander Vindman as an American patriot.— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) January 23, 2020
How patriotic is it to badmouth and ridicule our great nation in front of Russia, America’s greatest enemy?
Commenters were quick to pounce:
He did not badmouth the nation, he was wounded fighting for it. He spoke with tremendous praise and pride for the nation in the hearings, telling his father not to be afraid for him because this is America. https://t.co/XbTlUkNGdL— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) January 23, 2020
Yep, Martha Blackburn is the Louie Gohmert of the senate. https://t.co/HrGTRLIweR— Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) January 24, 2020

Are you freaking serious?— Ana Navarro-Cárdenas (@ananavarro) January 23, 2020
Vindman received a Purple Heart medal for wounds sustained from an IED attack in the Iraq War in 2004.
As far as badmouthing and ridiculing our great nation in front of Russia, aim your criticism not at Vindman, but at Trump, who has done just that. https://t.co/LzrNHiEuA8

What have you done besides stick your head up the ass of the most corrupt, criminal, Syphilitic Sock Monkey to ever squat in the Oval Office? Are you proud of this? #Vindman is an American hero, patriot and more of a human being than you will ever be, you repugnant traitor.— Lesley Abravanel🆘 (@lesleyabravanel) January 24, 2020
Badmouthing purple heart winners and pretending trump doesn't have constant no-notes closed door meetings with russia. No one licks a boot like marsha blackburn. pic.twitter.com/PJgR84jQBV— Ned Pyle (@NerdPyle) January 24, 2020
He's not badmouthing AMERICA.— D Villella ❄️ (@dvillella) January 24, 2020
How patriotic is it for *45 to have secret meetings and phone calls with our greatest enemy?
How patriotic is it for *45 to stand with Putin against America?
How patriotic is it for *45 to be cowed by Putin? pic.twitter.com/uZQHd0VIJh
Regarding that last tweet, we all remember how in the summer of 2018 in Helsinki, Trump stood with Putin in front of the world's media and said he believed Putin over U.S. intelligence, something that the late Sen. John McCain called one of the most disgraceful performances by a U.S. President. And he's never stopped standing with the Kremlin.
