Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has drawn fire from across the anti-Donald Trump political spectrum the past few days as she has publicly challenged the fake establishment built around key impeachment figure and Democrat witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman.
Vindman infamously testified in his full military uniform–despite the fact he does not wear it to work at the National Security Council (NSC)–before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) during the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry stage last year helping build their case to pass articles of Impeachment before Christmas. The “impeachment managers,” the top Democrats that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has appointed to argue the Democrats’ partisan case for removing President Trump from office before the U.S. Senate, have repeatedly invoked Vindman’s testimony over the course of this week, where Democrats have finally finished their opening arguments after three long days of that and a previous late night on Tuesday in the Senate where they used a series of meaningless amendments to buy more time to press their case on the Senate floor.
But it is a series of tweets from Blackburn that have infuriated the president’s enemies, Never Trumpers and Democrats alike, where the freshman U.S. senator and conservative firebrand from Tennessee–a strong ally of the president–has called for the truth to finally come out about Vindman and others’ role in orchestrating this entire impeachment charade from the beginning.
Everything Blackburn has said about Vindman is factually accurate.
On Thursday, Blackburn began a tweet thread–one of many she’s done this week exposing the left on this impeachment case–by questioning the image that the establishment media and Democrats have painted of Vindman being patriotic:
Adam Schiff is hailing Alexander Vindman as an American patriot.

If Vindman’s brother is a Russian banker, how does he get to be on the National Security Council?
Vindman is Major Frank Burns from MASH, but with less patriotism and backbone. I served with desk jockeys like Vindman, men who wanted to push papers and not to be where the action was, and they disgusted me. Note: I'm fine with the paper pushers who enjoyed deployments too.
Vindman is an oddball.
Dang, the dude looks like a mortician worked on his face.
I’m sorry but he just looks like Dr Bunsen Honeydew from the muppets to me, except the muppet has better skin tone.
We can’t spare this WOman
She FIGHTS!!!
I presume he is lying.
This is interesting. I presume he is not lyingOf course you do.
You're a never Trumper pretending not to be...IOW, a fraud.
Vindman is absolutely a live caricature of the Muppets puppet.
That is ludicrous. Just because I presume a Brigadier General is telling the truth about something that is easily checked
GTFO with your ridiculous accusation that i am a never trumper.
This is easily verified. And it is something Blackburn should do if she is going to use Hickman as the Commanding Officer of Vindman.
Vindman is a weasel. He thinks he knows more about everything to do with Ukraine and no one else should be listened to...
but that doesn’t change the fact that something is weird with this dueling claims of commanding officer status.
and blackburn should find out the truth
Lol
She should tell Zwack to GFH.
“I think Vindman has overreached and will be undone in the end. “
indeed. he and any of his ilk who are still remaining in the White House will be swept out lock, stock, and barrel within days of President Trump being re-elected ... either their positions will be eliminated and/or they can all be re-assigned to newly constructed Federal window-sitting facilities in Nome, Alaska ...
Marsha Blackburn PING!

It’s entirely possible both are correct, General Zwick was his CO and Hickman his boss who dealt with him directly. If Vindman was reprimanded for his remarks in front of Russian soldiers, as seems to be the case, Zwack’s defense of him sidesteps that issue. That doesn’t refute it.
The senator is not incorrect. Hickman was a LTC and Vindman was only a major. Hickman was the senior officer present and he reprimanded the major. The senator misspoke but was nor incorrect. Vindman was reprimanded by a senior officer for his actions. How loyal can a man be when he makes fun of his countrymen in front of Russian officers. He also had political bias towards the Democrats as well so much so that he was making other officers uncomfortable. He is typical of the Deep State.
