Senator Marsha Blackburn is currently the # 1 laughing stock on Twitter after heating up old beef with Taylor Swift while talking about the dangers of authoritarianism and how Marxists are going to make singers no longer able to sing and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Just in case you needed a recap, Tennessee native Swift spoke out against Blackburn when she ran for the Senate in 2018.
“I cannot vote for someone who will not want to fight for the dignity of ALL Americans, regardless of their skin color, their gender or who they love,” the singer said in a statement. “I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. His congressional voting record dismays and terrifies me. “
She also spoke about Blackburn in her Netflix 2020 documentary Miss Americana.
“She votes against a fair wage for women. She is voting against the re-authorization of the law on violence against women, which essentially protects us against domestic violence and criminal harassment, ”she said. “She thinks that if you are a gay couple, or even if you look like a gay couple, you should be allowed to be kicked out of a restaurant. These are really basic human rights.
Swift’s remarks and the documentary were made in 2018 and 2019. The film was released in January 2020. It is now July 2021 and Marsha Blackburn is still bitter about it all.
The anti-Gay Republican met Breitbart (ugh) this week to talk about how Marxism is invading America and how Taylor Swift will be the “first victim” of the new authoritarian government.
“You know Taylor Swift sued me in my 2018 campaign, but Taylor Swift would be the first victim,” Blackburn said. “Because when you look at Marxist socialist societies, they don’t allow women to dress or sing or be on stage or entertain or the type of music that she would have. They do not allow the protection of private intellectual property.
Senator Marsha Blackburn continues her feud with Taylor Swift, warning her that if we have a “socialist government” the state should “approve its music” and not “allow women to dress or sing to be sure. stage or entertain. pic.twitter.com/HGXziiai8K

I wish Dolly Parton would represent Tennessee rather than Marsha Blackburn.

Imagine being a woman and voting against the violence against women law.
Now imagine being a woman and voting against the Paycheck Fairness Act, literally saying “Women don’t want equal pay to men.”
It’s a day in the life of Marsha Blackburn, a shame on women.

Needed to remind everyone that
Marsha Blackburn’s father, Hilman Wedgeworth, was a “volunteer sheriff” in Mississippi during Jim Crow. pic.twitter.com/ZZX5f2rV6q

Marsha Blackburn’s “feud” with Taylor Swift is something I never expected. But it’s definitely the thing that makes me laugh the most tonight.
