U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R)
Blackburn tweeted“This is a great day to be conservative on Twitter” in response to Musk buying Twitter. The senator from Tennessee is a big critic of President Biden and has been mocked on Twitter before for postingthat “Tennesseans want a wall on our southern border.”
Whether she was referring to her home state or the country at large, she has claimed Twitter has tried to censor her before, specifically pointing to Twitter banning a campaign video that included her saying she “stopped the sale of baby body parts,” referring to her actions targeting Planned Parenthood. The sale refers to a long-debunkedstory based on edited videos that claimed Planned Parenthood was selling parts of aborted fetuses. Despite being markedly untrue, the story has since been used by conservative politicians to drum up anger from the anti-abortion crowd.
