CNN’s Jim Acosta Shreds Marsha Blackburn For Being Too Ignorant To Hold Elected Office

If you watched any of the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, then you probably came away with two unmistakable reactions:

• Judge Jackson is eminently qualified for the high court and deserves to be confirmed, which she likely will be
• Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee acted like the biggest douchebags on the face of the planet

One of the most annoying performances was handed in by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who sits on the Judiciary Committee even though she isn’t an attorney, doesn’t have a law degree, and graduated from Mississippi State University with a bachelor’s degree in home economics.

In the midst of the confirmation hearings, Blackburn also sent out a tweet that wound up getting her loads of social media mockery:

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are not found in the Constitution. Instead, they come from the Declaration of Independence.

That led CNN host Jim Acosta to note:

“Blackburn attempted to extol virtues of American democracy last week tweeting the Constitution grants us rights to ‘life, liberty and pursuit of happiness not abortions.’ Problem is that the phrase ‘life, liberty and pursuit of happiness’ appears in the Declaration of Independence. Not the Constitution. Blackburn should know that and should have deleted that tweet three scores and seven years ago. Last time we checked, it’s still up on her Twitter account.

“Not exactly a shining moment for American democracy.”

Marsha Blackburn is a raving idiot. She’s too stupid to be allowed out in public, let alone in the United States Senate where life and death issues are discussed.
