Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn criticized President Joe Biden’s administration during a Monday interview with Fox News, labeling its policies as “disgusting” and reflective of an “America Last” approach.
Blackburn, a staunch supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, highlighted key issues ranging from foreign policy to criminal justice, calling for immediate action to prioritize the needs of Americans.
Blackburn accused the Biden administration of consistently undermining U.S. interests, particularly in dealings with China and strategic regions like the Panama Canal and Greenland.

“This administration has an America Last policy,” Blackburn said. “When it comes to ensuring China isn’t advantaged over America, we need to put the focus back on securing our nation and protecting American interests.”
She emphasized the importance of maintaining strategic control in regions like Greenland to safeguard national security.
Blackburn also condemned President Biden’s recent decision to commute the sentences of several death row inmates, calling it a “profound disrespect for the rule of law.”

“It is disgusting that Joe Biden would commute the sentences of mass murderers, child rapists, and others who have caused irreparable harm,” Blackburn said. “This decision shows a disregard for judges, juries, and—most importantly—the families of victims who are left grieving, especially during the holiday season.”
She accused the administration of prioritizing political motivations over justice, claiming the commutations were an effort to obstruct Trump’s future plans to enforce stricter justice policies.
With Republicans set to take control of both the U.S. House and Senate, Blackburn called for lawmakers to support Trump’s agenda and restore public trust.

“It’s up to Congress to act and ensure that we deliver on the mandate given to us by the American people,” Blackburn stated. “We need to focus on policies that treat everyone equally under the law, secure our borders, and uphold justice.”
As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Blackburn pledged to continue advocating for fairness and accountability. She also pointed to the administration’s handling of border security and departmental inequities as further evidence of its mismanagement.
“Americans deserve a government that puts their needs first and holds everyone to the same standard,” Blackburn concluded.
