Watch: Rep. Marsha Blackburn Wants Africa’s Borders In Texas Closed

Posted by | October 16, 2014 17:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


Rep. Marsha Blackburn is as good at geography as she is science. While a House panel sharply questioned health officials Thursday over the U.S. response to the Ebola virus, the Tennessee Congresswoman managed to get America’s borders mixed up with African borders. In fairness, both regions in the world begin with an A, so it must have confused the poor thing.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Thomas Frieden said a travel ban could encourage people in West Africa to take advantage of porous borders in the region and get to the United States another way, which would undermine U.S. efforts to screen patients at airports and be able to track and monitor potentially infected people.

Blackburn pounced at the mention of “borders.” She took Frieden’s “porous borders” remark which was referring to the borders between three African countries and confused it with America’s  Southern borders.

She probably thinks Benghazi is in Lebanon. Oh, those tricky alphabet thingies.

    This unintelligent and ignorant Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn who was named one of the Most Corrupt Members of U.S. Congress by the government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington wants Africa’s borders in Texas closed.

    Yes, Half Governor declared Africa as a country, and now her twin sister Marsha wants the Africa and Texas boarders closed.

    This stupid woman strongly believes women do NOT want Equal Pay while her pay check is the same amount ($174,000) as her male colleagues!

    Please put some duct tape on her mouth.

      Probably took the same history classes as the Tundra Twit and thinks Paul Revere warned the British were coming and is clueless about the origins of the Korean War…

    I bet she can’t even locate Tennessee on a map.

    She might even believe Tennessee shares the same boarders with Turkey.

    • granpa.usthai October 16th, 2014 at 21:10

      oh help! anybody knows how to find Tennessee. Just ask for a ticket to Nashville, then ask them to show you where it’s at on a map. Ain’t but a little ways to Tennessee from thare!

    The battle for Goper Nitwit of the Year is gearing up, and continues to plumb the depths of unexplored territory..
    Blackburn and Gohmert of Texas are in the running, sure to get trophies at least.

    • forpeace October 16th, 2014 at 17:43

      There are so many of them, they won’t even fit in a clown car.

      Koch Brothers have to charter a cargo train for all of them.

    Marsha Blackburn has been in U.S. Congress since 2003, her voting records are just embarrassing, and she has a ZERO accomplishment chart.

    Her staff in her personal office have been getting paid $243,299 (01/01/2013 – 03/31/2013). This does not include her staff aides for any relevant committees, leadership offices, campaign committees and leadership PACs.

    Last year during the GOTP’s government shutdown, the anti-government Marsha Blackburn who is actually working for the government while getting her pay checks, her best health care plan, her retirement and other benefits, her staff salaries, and etc. from the the same government said that:

    Keeping the government closed will probably help the public realize that they didn’t need it in the first place.

    Now you know how ignorant and stupid this woman is.
