The senator unleashed the remarks after Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, quoted the Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council during his impeachment statement.
"How patriotic is it to badmouth and ridicule our great nation in front of Russia, America's greatest enemy?," Blackburn added. Sen. Marsha Blackburn speaks during a Senate Judiciary confirmation hearing for Aditya Bamzai and Travis LeBlanc to be members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board on Capitol Hill on February 5, 2019 in Washington, DC.Tens of thousands of Americans took to Twitter to weigh in on Blackburn's attitude towards the impeachment proceedings, with some users calling her a"coward,""garbage" and"just truly awful." Others came to Vindman's defense.
"Alexander Vindman is a career Army infantry officer who received the Purple Heart after being wounded from an IED in Iraq in 2004. Both his brothers are Army officers, too. They emigrated here from the former USSR because their father loved America," Human Rights Campaign's Charlotte Clymer tweeted."Marsha Blackburn is a coward."
