My opponent has joined the upper echelon of GOP crazy; Tim Burchett was one of only 20 voting against a mental health bill, joined by such lesser lights as Louie Gohmert, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Prefer to traffic underage girls. Without the right to fix any problems the Congressmen have left them to deal with.
Ironic isn't it? Burchett's big buddy is Matt Gaetz. He is an embarrassment to us all.

"Burchett's big buddy is Matt Gaetz."
If this is true, it explains Burchett's actions. It is totally surprising anyone would want to be associates with Gaetz.
They would hang out on the House floor......

And show each other their cell phones, according to a picture I saw. I have no idea what was on their phones. Pre-scandal though. I'm not even going to speculate on what they were showing each other.
I never thought Burchett
I never thought Burchett could represent the interests of the people in the second district because of his terrible voting record in the state legislature, but he has surprised even me by his mindless and sometimes bizarre actions since taking Jimmy Duncan's seat in the U.S.House.
Burchett behavior sinks to a new low every week. His parents would be ashamed of him. He definately is an embarrassment to our state and country.
