Capitalizing on Controversy: Sen. Marsha Blackburn Plans to Sell 'Define a Woman' T-Shirts on Her Campaign Website

Capitalizing on controversy, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., plans to sell “Define A Woman” t-shirts on her campaign website this week. According to a preview shared with The Federalist, the hot-pink shirts include a dictionary definition of the word “woman” and will sell for $35.

Blackburn took heat from the media last week for asking Kentanji Brown Jackson whether she could provide a definition of “woman” during the judge’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Jackson, nominated to the Supreme Court by President Joe Biden, declined to define the word, replying, “I’m not a biologist.”

Asked about Blackburn’s decision to lean into the controversy, a senior GOP communications official told The Federalist, “When the lunacy of the left has infiltrated every aspect of American life — corporations, sports, media, and politics — it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Republicans are leaning into moments like this.”
