Middle Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn was on the tube again last night, deploying a line that's getting awfully familiar these days: All these people who are mad at me don't really count because they live outside my district and appear to be organized!
That'd be questionable reasoning even if it were true, but alas, it seems to be false.
Blackburn's town hall in Fairview earlier this week brought her face-to-face with some unhappy citizens who questioned her about health care, President Donald Trump's tax returns and more. And reports from the media — a group about which Blackburn won't quite clarify her feelings — suggest the congresswoman is wrong about the makeup of the crowd.

Blackburn's statements so upset her constituents that we found voicemails expressing just that waiting for us upon our arrival to the office this morning. We'll give the congresswoman this, though: her opposition does appear to be getting more and more organized.
