Two days after holding a heated town hall debate in Fairview, Congressman Marsha Blackburn has drawn criticism from some residents over comments she made during a CNN interview.
Blackburn told CNN's Anderson Cooper Wednesday night that, "What we found was so interesting. Less than a third in the room were constituents as mine."
Those who attended the forum had to RSVP for the event but no list exists which shows attendees home address.
The Fairview City Manager told NewsChannel 5 that there was no way for him or anyone else, including Marsha Blackburn to know where people who attended this town forum were from.
"If she’s gonna go on television and say something like that she needs to be able to back it with facts. She has taken what the folks in Fairview viewed as a successful town hall and she went on television and basically delegitimized it for us," Fairview resident Bruce Moore said.
