Marsha Blackburn says she won’t debate because she’s had ‘lots of forums’ with Republicans. We asked — they say otherwise.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn avoided questions about debating Republican gubernatorial candidates, claiming she has participated in 'lots of forums' with them. Her opponents, Monty Fritts and John Rose, disputed this, stating no public forums have occurred since she announced her candidacy. Blackburn's campaign cited private events and a January town hall, but opponents highlighted these lacked debate elements and excluded them.
