Marsha Blackburn is never going to be mistaken for a MENSA member

[marmar]

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., suggested on Monday that Tennessee residents want a "wall" on state's southern border to guard against illegal immigration – even even though Tennessee is not located along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"Tennesseans want a wall on our southern border," the conservative tweeted without any further explanation.

The comment bewildered many critics online, many of whom noted that south Tennessee is bordered by Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi – none of which border Mexico.

"YOUR southern border is with Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, MORON," tweeted political commentator Keith Olberman. ..............(more)

1. Well, if I lived ther, I'd sure want to keep track of those Georgians...

Texans, too. You know, people can actually cross state lines, so once they cross a national one, all hell can break loose.

11. All they have to do

to head East is take 85 out of Atlanta towards 77 and then northward. Bypassing Tennessee all together. That woman is dumber than dirt!

2. They must have gotten her on the way home from a coke and sex party.

9. No, she's ALWAYS weapons-grade stoopid. eom

[SmallFry]

3. I wonder is she is representative of her constituency, as a whole. NT

[dchill]

5. No one is, as a whole. But she represents a majority...

...so that qualifies her as such. I wouldn't want to take a stab at the average IQ of ANY state, right now, but I'm guessing Tennessee would be on a low rung and sawing through it.

[SmallFry]

7. As a whole is an "in general" statement.

I mean it in terms of her representing the majority.

Painful to see someone like this representing anyone.

[dchill]

8. Right. It's just as painful that she does represent a majority.

4. I hear she wants to build cages for folks from Georgia Alabama and Mississippi

Can you blame her for not wanting anyone from Mississippi?

14. I live 2 miles south of Memphis, it's more like the other way around lol.

15. There was a time when we were young we had an opportunity to settle anywhere.

TN is so beautiful environmentally. We actually seriously thought about it. We didn’t. So glad we didn’t.

Now we landed in Costa Rica. The beautiful country and a non sadistic government.

Wooo boo🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷

16. Hyuck hyuck

I lived in Memphis for years. Believe me, the post you responded to is closer to the truth. A border would only improve Tennessee. Certainly wouldn't hurt it.

6. I know a couple people who actually do live in Southern Border states...

A guy I know in Albuquerque has said the "invasion by Mexicans" just hasn't happened, and even during those hysteric "caravan" days, the actual numbers of deportees increased, but not by astronomical numbers like the GOP keeps screaming about.

12. I live 75 miles from the border

and our crime related to undocumented immigrants is almost zero. Republicans are just racist assholes.

10. The dye leaked in

and bleached what little brain she had. That's all I can figure.

[lastlib]

13. In a battle of smarts, I'm pretty sure a leafy vegetable could take her.

Lichens and ferns might give her a run for the money.

[bedazzled]

17. It would be hard to categorize her as a human

More like a newly defined lower life form

[lastlib]

18. "Neanderthal. Troglodyte!"

...as the song goes....

[GoodRaisin]

19. She's so pitifully f'ing stupid it should be stamped on her forehead.

It couldn’t be much more obvious.

[Aristus]

20. I'm surprised how often she is mistaken for a human being.

n/t

21. This Is Not A Sign Of Her Stupidity

It's obvious what she meant.
There are scads of examples of just how stupid she is. I don't think this is one of them.
