Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said on March 23 that she didn’t see anything during her time on March 21 in Arizona to justify barring journalists from covering the growing crisis at the U.S. border area with Mexico.
“I didn’t see anything that would justify keeping media out. Media embed in war zones, they do that, and they do it well,” Blackburn told reporters during a telephone news conference following her visit to Cochise County, which is on the Arizona–Mexico border, and Pinal County, just north of the border area.
