Former U.S. ambassador to Slovenia Lynda Blanchard argues she is the true so-called “outsider” candidate in the race for Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat up in 2022.
On Tuesday, Blanchard appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” to discuss the numerous vacancies in the Biden administration’s diplomatic corps around the world, in particular ambassadorships, which she argued posed a threat to U.S. national security.
However, she also weighed in on the 2022 race and took a couple of jabs at her opponents, U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) and former Business Council of Alabama president Katie Britt.
“Obviously, I’m the only outsider, and I’m not beholden to anyone when I walk into D.C., whereas you have a 40-year career politician and then hand-picked establishment candidate. And that is very distinctive from an outsider that can walk in and not owe any PACs, any friends, anyone in D.C. a thing but only vote how Alabamians want me to vote.”
Co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Blanchard if Britt’s Capitol Hill experience intimidated her, which Blanchard dismissed.
“No,” Blanchard replied. “It does not because what my agenda is focused on the MAGA movement and what President Trump had achieved, and she is with establishment.”
