Republicans have repeatedly argued that the impeachment evidence against President Trump is thin. Theyve said it is based upon hearsay that wasnt corroborated by people more intimately involved with the Ukraine effort (whose testimony the White House has blocked). Theyve suggested, despite numerous witnesses testifying to similar things, that the witnesses werent credible and that they might have axes to grind.
But on Thursday, with House Democrats playing video of those witnesses testimonies during Trumps impeachment trial, a Republican senator launched her own thinly sourced attack on one of those witnesses.
And not for the first time.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who along with every other senator serves as a juror in the impeachment trial, took to Twitter and impugned the patriotism of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman.
