A GOP Senator and devout supporter of President Donald Trump is getting mocked on the internet for a tweet about the United States constitution.

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) tweeted that the United States would "never rewrite the Constitution."


Claims that the United States has a perfect Constitution might be congruent with the level of so-called patriotism encouraged by several members of the GOP, BUT the founding fathers established four different channels through which the Constitution could be amended.

The most common process employed to amend the Constitution is through a two-thirds passage of an amendment by both houses of Congress with ratification by 38 states.

Since the Bill of Rights was ratified in the late 18th century with 10 amendments, 17 amendments have been added to the United States Constitution, including amendments establishing the right of women to vote, the abolition of slavery, and more.

People were quick to remind Blackburn that the United States Constitution isn't exempt from edits.





Not only have some of these amendments affected Blackburn's own life and trajectory, but she herself has supported constitutional amendments multiple times.




Blackburn has yet to clarify the tweet, and hasn't indicated she will.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
