U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, has found herself getting the Trump treatment over the last few days after a social media post last week.
President Donald Trump, ever the one to poke the bear, is wont to say or post statements that send his critics into orbit. The statements often say something that can sound outrageous if twisted in just the right way but are often just his usual hyperbole.
The post on X by Blackburn, who is running for governor and gearing up for the Republican primary in August, obviously was to highlight the many surveys that have, for the last decade, shown Tennessee as one of the top states to which people are relocating, and that show us as one of the country’s lowest taxed states.
So she wrote, “People are in pursuit of affordability, and that’s why they’re flocking to Tennessee. In Tennessee, we welcome new families and businesses as long as they check the blue state policies at the state line.”
