The senator and author of “The Mind of a Conservative Woman” discusses Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination ceremony, which some have called a superspreader event.
During an appearance on ABC's"The View," Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, said that while the event is a good reminder to Americans to take precautions, she was tested right before the event and behaved safely. Sen. Marsha Blackburn speaks during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Sept. 30, 2020 on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Barrett's confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which Blackburn is a member, are set to begin on Monday.President Donald Trump, center, stands with Judge Amy Coney Barrett as they arrive for a news conference to announce Barrett as his nominee to the Supreme Court, in the Rose Garden at the White House, Sept. 26, 2020, in Washington.
That’s her privilege! Isn’t it nice that she can exercise her freedom, but that’s not what the Democrats have in store for us, IF they win - which they won’t. People are smart! They need to not listen to ABC NBC CBS CNN MSNBC - Fake News! 👎🖤 “TRUMP 2020!” 👍🇺🇸😊👏👏👏
Will she wear one to funerals that may occur because of her ignorance and selfishness?
Stupid and disrespectful of those around her. Republicans need to GO!
My Opinion - Something Fishy At The Rose Garden Event- All Tempered Checked . No- One Sitting There Had A Temperature & Got Co- Vid ?
It's national mental health day
She shouldn’t have to defend anything
We ARE a MOST IGNORANT COUNTRY AND POPULATION. I suggest the IGNORANT AND THOSE BELIEVING THEIR LIBERTIES ARE BEING VIOLATED CONTINUE TO DEFY COMMON SENSE AND DIE. So then, we decrease the SURPLUS IGNORANT POPULATION! realDonaldTrump
Good, well deserved.
It is crime!
The covid 19 will afect to everybody in the world. Since the virus spread like the flu virus. Do what ever you do you will get infected. It is just matter of time. Take note of this
I like her better when she doesn’t wear one 😉
You have no defence, obviously your loyalty to your party supersedes your obligation to protect the American people who did and did not vote you into your esteemed office. People will burn you in the history books. I for one am glad about that
That was a real smart move
Thom Tills had a mask on and got it on the rose garden
💩💩💩💩
She really isn't very bright.
Idiot
Be gone witch
Get over the mask crap. They are not stopping it.
SuperspreaderBlackburn
We hope Ms. Blackburn doesn’t get Covid.
whyfund Don’t be too hard on her, she’s incredibly stupid so I’m sure the struggle to understand what’s happening is really rough for her
She reminds me of: Wild at Heart: Marietta Fortune
That's because there is this nifty treatment made with fetal stem cell tissue. MarshaBlackburn
Tennessee was leveling out last week in cov-19 cases. Now, I know the reason for the spike. At least, MarshaBlackburn maintains consistency in making a large portion of her citizenry sick. TyphoidMarsha
There is no defence
Quarantine her for life.
She’s a senator? I always believed that one needed to be clever to hold that position. Not adhering to the advice of scientists and shunning mask wearing is just dumb.
I watched her on the View yesterday, what a nutcase cult member of Trump. Voted against equal pay for women, what woman does that? They all had rapid tests at that ceremony that have been proven not to be accurate.
Idiot. We can only hope....
There's no defense. 210,000+ DEAD. AND STILL CLIMBING. IT'S RULING CLASS HUBRIS!

Oh honey your excuse is as bad as your hair.
.....but, it would have messed up my makeup.....

'I only do or say what's in my party's best interest not yours because I represent them not you.' Got it.
Who cares
No excuse other than stupidity or defiance. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
She is the female Loui Gohmert
Taylor Swift was right. She shouldn't have been elected.
There is no defending the indefensible.

Who are the media super-spreaders that attended the ACB nomination press conference? Do we know their names? Who did they infect?
Kevin McCarthy level stupid.
Covidiot.
Vote her out!!!!!
This is called hubris. The biblical story about Sodom and Gommorah is about the same kind of arrogance and denial in the face of what is right.
Love these libtard ABC fanbase comments.
I feel sorry for people who voted for Blackburn.
If she wears a mask it is having the Government control her...oh wait, she is part of the Government...
Safety first.
vile woman
Idiot
Mask would not have saved her. You need a N95 mask to not catch the virus. You idiots
Idiot
The number of positive cases doesn't matter, tell me how many deaths or long term hospitalizations were traced to the Rose Garden event.
While masks may block some droplets, Fauci said they do not provide the level of protection people think they do. Wearing a mask may also have unintended consequences: People who wear masks tend to touch their face more often to adjust them, which can spread germs from their hand
Her defense sucks.
It says a lot about these Republicans that don't believe in science. Ironically, Moscow Mitch won't go to the WH, because of lax COVID-19 procedures. Suckers2016 SheepOverCliff2020
Does she have CV19?
What is fracking?
It s REALLY hard being socially responsible.Especially when it comes to being socially responsible because of a deadly virus that has killed 211,000 Americans. When you could be a carrier, kill your family, your associates, your neighbors or people you don’t know.Just REALLY hard
Cu next Tuesday
'I had my mask on and actually had it there on my arm when i walked into the event,' Blackburn said. On her ARM Well, clearly that seems helpful. Ffs
GOPMONSTERS
Senseless group of individuals
My son who was not there, is connected to this event through a friend that did attend. He is now symptomatic and awaiting results. How is defending no mask wearing ok How many more innocent people are out there because YOU couldn’t wear a mask?
She is dead? Ok then.
It's ridiculous to politicize wearing masks.
riromtz We are in a pandemic and we should always wear a mask to protect the most vulnerable.. Care for your fellow human being.
'I'm stupid, and that's my right as an American citizen,' the Senator said.
Selfish b---ch
MoscowMarsha is not too bright. MarshaBlackburn
If only they would just infect/ kill their own.
If anyone ..,
Why should she? Trump is immune don't ya know...🤣
Blackburn is a typical fool who should have never been elected to the Senate! She is not a leader; she is an opportunist!
Did she blame her Home Economics degree from Mississippi State University? That might work.
Follow the science idiot
Willful ignorance in black stilettos.
same story about condoms and pregnancy way back when😂
assault
If masks mattered, why doesn’t New York City make everyone mask up and immediately open up all businesses?
“She chose not to answer a hypothetical situation defendant solely on our ability to make a mockery of the SCOTUS, which really surprised me”
Bitcoin has broken records for how long it has stayed above $10k. Square, INC just bout $50 million worth! Now bitcoin is making a move to $11k!! Thank goodness we can just buy small amounts at a time. Not many people will be able to afford a whole one soon!
MarshaBlackburn IS A YAHOO!
Some people just cannot do the right thing.
They are all so gross ... out then in a small room and they can all be maskless
If proven that she is responsible for anyone's death with her actions, then she should be put on trial for Murder! Maybe that will wake people up.
You cant spread what you dont have. The end of story
I have come to the conclusion that the entire gop is purposely trying to kill themselves to get out of the realDonaldTrump nightmare that they have created. Seems to me it would be easier to stand up to him, but whatever.
We always knew there was impairment with her judgment & decision making. Her lies, arrogance and reckless behavior is dangerous for innocent Americans who don’t know the difference between her dishonesty and what honesty is.
Typhoid Mary vigorously defended her decision not to wash her hands.
When are they going to call out these people? who they are...dangerous to the American people. She is like Typhoid Mary. It's incredible that this continues to go on, led by the nut in the White House. Vote them out
If you defend it you are not fit to govern.
Entirely too stupid to have that position
The HighWire with Del Bigtree on Facebook Yes...there are OSHA Guidelines.... MASK WHISTLEBLOWERS TELL ALL
Why is president trump using embryo stem cells in his covid treatment? Isn’t he pro life? Thoughts evangelicals?
Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
NOPE. I'm sick to death of their entitled, anti-science, inhumane behavior. STOP IT. Socially distance. Avoid crowds of any kind. WEAR A DAMN MASK. Wash your hands, stay home if you're sick or have been exposed. JUST DO IT.
As she should! WakeUpAmerica! antiCNN aintthatafuckinshame!
newschannelnine We’re in 4 digit numbers, we know of so far, of those who religiously wear masks who came down with it.
it's not a free counrty do as the commies tell you are you get marked!!
She is crazy
She's always been a TeaParty teabag
Marsha Blackburn is neither rational nor educated. She has a career built upon conspiracy theories and crazy statements. But there fact is that she represents her constituency. Let that sync in.
Her body, her choice.
Her body ...her choice.
There is no defense. AntiScienceFools TrumpTheMassMurderer
There is NO excuse
Silly cow
Because none of them have taken the pandemic seriously COVID19 VoteHimOut
VOTE THEM ALL OUT...!!!
TheView LEAD BY EXAMPLE! SHE SOUNDS LIKE PENCE! SHE SAYS ONE THING YET DORS ANOTHER! SHE CONFORMS TO BULLYING AND NOT EQUALITY. SHE WOULD BE THE STAR SHE SAYS SHE IS IF SHE ACTUALLY WAS PRACTICING THESE THINGS!
As Trump said “it is what it is”
Indefensible
You are nuts!
gorman_forrest She didn’t wear panties either
gorman_forrest I watched as she said this. It was pathetic and sounded like every empty headed Trumper out there. Shame on her.
gorman_forrest Tennessee you have to do better. Please.
TheView Apparently stupidity is contagious as well, since it seems to be spreading rapidly through republican ranks.
I thought she was still an American citizen... it is her body , her choice
she's an idiot. and the treatment Trump praised as a 'blessing from God' is one she would rather not exist because it came from stem cells.
Dim wit...
Irresponsible Trumper!!
‘Her body...’
MarshaBlackburn She’ll defend her stupidity to the end. No sense in reasoning with her. sinverguenza
She is saying otherwise....article is misleading....
Dumb
With a mug like that, a face mask is definitely in order.
STUPIDS ARE AS STUPIDS CONTINUE TO DO..............
I fully support her decision not to wear a mask. Get out there and shake those hands and lick those foreheads Marsha.
She has always been a backstabber and selfish. You could never believe a word she said. Most here wished they had never voted for her.
All he she will be fine and will be part of the heard immunity we all need!
Problem is there is no defense for what she did, or in this case didn’t do!
Said questo messaggio e diretto a tutti i politici precedendi ed anteriori : ho visionato per tanto tempo il.vostro comportamento.e ho notato verso i vostri cittadini da parte vostra non c'è stato un grosso interesse ma facendoli scontrare tra l'oro senza:vi anno dato lafiducia.
Of course you would! If you tell your GOP supporters your not stupid or negligent,they will believe you! Look at the support Trump gets in spite of his continuous negligence and stupidity!
💩
A typical Trump sycophantic puppet.
Ignorantia juris non excusat. Ignorance is not a defense.
Where's Herman ?
If you expect Republicans to care about anyone else you haven't been paying attention since Reagan.
This woman dishonors her gender. A failure if ever there was one.
MarshaBlackburn I don’t think stupidity is ever a good defense.
There is no defense. Wear A Mask
So being an idiot is an excuse?
Hoo
She is the definition of can't understand normal thinking.
She’s not tied to 14 people. Misleading. She’s negative
Ok MarshaBlackburn can get Covid-19 and risk her life. She would not be missed.
Remember, these government folks are a direct reflection of the people they represent.
GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn: 'If I want to be a dumbass that's my choice!'
These people, seriously? These are the people that you have chosen to lead you?
Uh! Oh! Sue her ass!
While our kids sacrifice, the GOP pigs party on. Go straight to H*LL
Trying to defend the indefensible.
