Marsha Blackburn, 'Politically Incorrect And Proud Of It,' Runs For Senate In Tennessee

Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., announced on Tuesday she will run for Senate in Tennessee — and took a shot at the current Republican leadership in her announcement video.

Calling the place she wants to work "totally dysfunctional" and "enough to drive you nuts," Blackburn touts that she is a "hard core, card-carrying Tennessee conservative. I'm politically incorrect and proud of it."

"So, let me just say it like it is: The fact that our Republican majority in the U.S. Senate can't overturn Obamacare, or will not overturn Obamacare — it's a disgrace," the eight-term congresswoman continues. "Too many Senate Republicans act like Democrats — or worse. And that's what we have to change."

Blackburn is a frequent cable news guest and had a prime-time speaking slot at the 2016 Republican National Convention. She has long been a loyal conservative foot soldier and ticks off in her video the ways she would stand with President Trump — repealing the Affordable Care Act, backing the president's immigration ban and his border wall and his feud with the NFL over kneeling during the national anthem.
