Marsha Blackburn is the senator who asked Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to define a woman, and in an interview her governor campaign posted Sunday, she was asked about it again. “She refused to,” Blackburn said. “And she wasn’t a biologist.”
“I’m not a veterinarian, but I know the difference between a dog and a cat,” Blackburn said. She said some people “cannot or refuse to give you the definition of the word woman and pretend that there is no biological difference.”
“Of course, we all know they are not six genders,” she said, “and I would encourage people to pick up the Bible and give it a read. And they will see there’s two.”
Blackburn said she will stand up for Tennessee girls. “I think that we should celebrate our women and our moms and all of our young girls who are in sports and make more opportunities for these young girls,” she said.
On the eve of Election Day, Blackburn also pointed voters to the ballot amendments. “When a state income tax was proposed, I led the fight to stop it,” she posted Monday. “Tomorrow, we have the opportunity to permanently ban a statewide property tax.” Tennessee votes Tuesday, Nov. 3.
