NASHVILLE – As the Democratic-led U.S. House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday began historic public impeachment hearings to determine whether President Donald Trump used military aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate political opponents, political passions played out among some Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama congressmen and senators on social media.
“In the midst of today’s latest charade against @POTUS, remember that there are 4 key points that Democrat’s cherry-picked narrative cannot change,” U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., tweeted. “These are called facts and facts seem to be few and far between in this partisan so-called investigation.”
U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., launched a twitter attack against Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, posting: “Proven liar Adam Schiff ‘doesn’t know the whistleblowers name,’ hmmmm like his office never met with the whistleblower?”
Tennessee Democrats were more muted.
