WASHINGTON – Appearing on CNN, Rep. Marsha Blackburn refused four times Monday to say whether she agreed with President Trump that the press is the enemy of the American people.

Blackburn, a Brentwood Republican who was a member of Trump’s transition team, said it’s important “to have a press that is a free and open press.”

But asked four times whether she agreed with Trump’s characterization that the press is the “enemy,” Blackburn dodged each time.

“It would not be my choice of words,” she conceded. “It would not be how I expressed frustration with the press.”

Which is it? Do you agree with your mighty leader you seem to be following and carrying water for blindly?
