Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in an interview discussing the ‘swamp’ in Washington, D.C., called for term limits “for bureaucrats.”
Blackburn made the comments in an appearance with Steve Hilton on Fox News’ “The Next Revolution.”
“Big Business, Big Government, Big Tech, Big Media — they all go hand in hand, and they’re all a part of the D.C. swamp,” she explained to Hilton.
Under President Trump, Blackburn added, Americans found out “just how murky the swamp is.”
If term limits are what drains the swamp in D.C., as Marsha Blackburn states, then President Trump’s inability to tackle that campaign promise almost assuredly cost him his own second term.
As a candidate in 2016, Donald Trump announced how he intended to “drain the swamp” of corrupt politicians on both sides of the aisle in Congress, and that included implementing term limits.
The President vowed that if he were to win against Hillary Clinton, he “will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.”
Time Magazine fretted at the time that Trump’s proposed term limits would “eliminate half of Congress,” something that in hindsight would have been a good thing for America.
