Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN-02) has drawn the ire of the left-wing media this week, first for calling former U.S. Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle a “DEI horror story,” and now for calling Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, a “DEI Vice President.”
Wednesday, Burchett responded to the criticism he has faced from the left-wing media, which has labeled him as a “racist” among other typical tropes.
“Pushing DEI policies makes us weaker. I unequivocally condemn wrongful discrimination, and we always need to put the best player in,” Burchett told The Tennessee Star by email. “Joe Biden made this about race when he said, ‘the values of diversity, equality, and inclusion are literally, and that’s not kidding, the core strengths of America. That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history, that taps into the full talents of our country and starts at the top with the Vice President.'”
DEI stands for “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” a far-reaching left-wing goal implemented in government and private organizations to promote “equity.”
“The incompetency level is at an all-time high in Washington. The media propped up this president, lied to the American people for three years, and then dumped him for our DEI vice president,” Burchett said on X, attaching video of a segment on NewsNation, where he said Harris was “a disaster on the border.”
“I don’t know if she could find the border with a compass and a map,” Burchett said.

In a Monday House Oversight Committee hearing about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, Burchett had harsh words for Cheatle, too.
“Miss Cheatle, you said ‘the buck stops with me,’ and I agree. I don’t think you should resign, I think you should have been fired,” Burchett he said during the hearing. “You are a DEI horror story. I’ve told my daughter – my wife and I – we talk to her all the time about how she’s going to succeed in life. She’ll succeed by achieving. Ma’am, you have not achieved a day in your life. You’ve let the American people down. If it was up to me, you’d be gone.”
Cheatle resigned shortly after that.

IF THE SHOE FITS?
BIDEN MADE IT CLEAR HIS CHOICE for ViCE PRESIDENT in 2020, WOULD BE A BLACK WOMAN. EVEN THOUGH KAMALA IS NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN. She is a mix of Indian & Jamaican. She was raised through high school in Canada
KAMALA IS NOT OFFICIALLY THE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE. SHE WAS SELECTED, NOT ELECTED. Very Undemocratic.
I think Trump should wait to debate Kamala until she is officially elected as their Presidential candidate at the DNC Convention. Just like Biden, the Olegarchs want to see if her Wierd Word Salads & Kackles will destroy her ability to beat President Trump.
Who knows, they could pull a fast one at the DNC CONVENTION. It would not be the first time they screwed over the Candidate chosen by the voters.
Have you noticed, “EVERYTHING” the Democrats accuse others of doing are the “Very thing” they are doing??
They can’t deny “Truth” so they call Truth a lie and a lie Truth.
A man can be a woman, a woman can be a man,
Killing a baby is legal, praying outside a slaughter house of Children is a crime.
These are people who will do “ANYTHING” to win an election,
and have no worries about losing “GOD”S ELECTION”.
And according to Polls being shown, (which I think are somewhat skewed to help Democrats) the Country is almost “EVENLY DIVIDED”
between People who fear God and those who don’t.
If you’re expecting to spend eternity in heaven with some of your Friends, Neighbors, Relatives, there’s a good change 50% of them won’t be there, only 5 of the 10 virgins were raptured.
He told the absolute truth!
Him calling her a DEI hire is far more polite than how she REALLY “made it” to the VP , and now, the DNC placed her illegally as presidential candidate….and the DNC and media accuse the Republicans as a threat to democracy.
Keep telling it like it is, Congressman.
I wish Tim Burchett was my Congressman. I got stuck with Chuck Fleischmann
the party that cant define a woman wants us to vote for her because she is a woman
Telling the truth gets Congressman Burchett labeled a racist? The rabid left is destroying America.
He isn’t wrong…🤷🏿
