Marsha Blackburn defends 'Vindictive Vindman' tweet on Fox News, says he's 'going after' Trump

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn went on Fox News to defend herself against a trending Twitter hashtag that implies she is aligned with Russia.

#MoscowMarsha began trending on Friday after Blackburn, R-Tennessee, posted a tweet attacking Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a central figure in the ongoing impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

Vindman, a decorated Army official who is the director for European affairs for the U.S. National Security Council, has testified about his concerns over a diplomatic phone call in which Trump pressured the president of Ukraine to publicly investigate the family of former Vice President Joe Biden.

Some Republicans have suggested Vindman knows the identity of an anonymous whistleblower who first reported the Ukraine call that launched the impeachment inquiry.

Anyone with first hand knowledge of Trump's shenanigans and is willing to testify about them under oath is "going after" Trump in Republican eyes.

To Republicans, asking Trump to state his name for the record, after being sworn in for testimony, will be considered "hostile questioning."

Tenure

Blackburn assumed office and was sworn in on January 3, 2019.

In November 2019, #MoscowMarcia started trending on Twitter after Blackburn tweeted a conspiratorial smear against Lt. Col Alexander Vindman on her official twitter account.[50] In her post, she wrote "Vindictive Vindman is the “whistleblower’s” handler".[51] The tweet was in reference to Lt. Col. Vindman, a decorated Army official and purple heart veteran, who became a central figure in President Trump's impeachment proceedings in Congress after testifying he heard Trump pressure the president of Ukraine to investigate the son of one of his chief political rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden.
