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.

She can say what she wants coming from a Red state and Blackburn doesn’t have to face the voters for four years.
Thanks for clarifying. It is important to get the facts right despite people going off half cocked and calling me a never trumper.
That explanation should be sent to Blackburn so she gets it right.
Vindman is a snake..but Blackburn has to get the info right.
Pretty sure Blackburn is not right militarily speaking. She called Hickman the Commmanding Officer.
B. General called her out on it.
This could have been avoided if she used the proper titles.
Then you can get to the meat and potatoes of the accusation instead of it being confused with the false claim Hickman was the CO
He got Reprimanded by his superior for DISSING AMERICA to the RUSSIANS and Obama had him IN THE WHITE HOUSE ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL!!!HOW STUPID! OR EVIL!
WHY hasn’t Peter B. ZWACK spoken up til now??? I DON’T TRUST HIM!!
“HURTFUL” What kind of MAN, especially a MILITARY man, say “those words are hurtful”! GIRLIE MAN!
Are Vindman and Ciamramella getting any PAYMENTS from the BIDENS or UKRAINE???????? CHECK OFF SHORE BANK ACCOUNTS!
I think Vindman should go back to hunting ghosts in Manhattan, but that’s just me.
Girly Man = Frank Burns, they are clones of each other, I can just imagine what this guy is like, after hearing him correct the congressman that he needed to be called Lt. Cornel GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!!
Is a Brig. General DIRECTLY over a LTC??
I love this woman.
Hickman says “boss” and Zwack doesn’t refute that or the reprimand, so you have to wonder why. So I will tend to believe Hickman and his CO, who are the source for Blackburn’s story.
The Brigadier does dispute it. Blackburn says Hickman was CO thus indicating his title puts him in a position to know.
BG responds and says no he was Vindman’s boss and Hickman wasn’t.
Blackburn stepped into it because she used the wrong terminology. And thus gave the opening for an attack.
It was we call an unforced error in sports.
Vindman looks like a twisted freak.
I suspect this is not the end of it. We’ll both see how this shakes out.
I doubt if the media who jumped on the senator really understood how military rank works. It is alien to their way of life. She ultimately was right.
What a Dick.
I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt but your continued pursuit of this affair leads me to think you are a Never-Trumper.
I think Blackburn got her info from a Paul Sperry article ...
Hickman himself does not claim to have even been Vindeman’s CO.
