Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN) slammed Democratic members of Congress on Tuesday, following President Trump’s State of the Union address, calling their behavior “pathetic” and responding to the disruptions by Representatives Al Green (D-TX), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Burchett spoke to The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson on Tuesday night in the Capitol after Trump’s speech, which he described as great, highlighting the President’s success on crime across the US. “Everybody thinks it was a little long, but dadgum Trump had a lot of successes. Energy independence, shutting the border down, crime,” Burchett said.
“How can you put a price tag on zero murders in this town? It was the murder capital, I mean, it’s the capital of our country, but dadgum, it was the murder capital of the world, almost,” he continued, referencing Trump’s surge of National Guard troops and federal authorities to crack down on crime in Washington, DC.
He then pointed to Memphis, Tennessee, where Trump deployed 13 federal agencies and National Guard troops last September, saying Trump “just about eliminated” the crime. “It’s unbelievable. And to think that Democrats don’t stand for that is pathetic.”
Burchett further slammed the Democratic lawmakers, saying he knew Al Green was plotting to interrupt Trump’s speech once again and that the Congressman was just trying to get “his two minutes of glory.” He added, “Nobody gives a rip about Al.”
In response to Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, the foreign Muslim Congresswomen who screamed at Trump as he spoke about third-world immigration crippling the US, Burchett questioned, “How much more are they gonna steal from us?” in reference to the billions of dollars in fraud perpetrated by Somali aliens.

Conradson: Your thoughts on the speech?
Burchett: I thought it was great. Two hours, everybody thinks it was a little long, but dadgum Trump had a lot of successes. Energy independence, shutting the border down, crime. How can you put a price tag on zero murders in this town? It was the murder capital, I mean, it’s the capital of our country, but dadgum, it was the murder capital of the world, almost. And Memphis, Tennessee, my home state, just about eliminated it. It’s unbelievable. And to think that Democrats don’t stand for that is pathetic.
Conradson: Your thoughts, right out the gate, Al Green kicked out.
Burchett: Oh, I knew Al was going to do that. I came in this morning, put my Carhartt in, and I saw he already had the seat down. And he was just gonna do his two minutes of glory, and he can go out and say, “Look what I did,” and, you know, maybe somebody will buy him a beer a year from now. But nobody gives a rip about Al.
Conradson: And then later, Omar and Rashida Tlaib screaming at the president.
Burchett: Yeah. I mean, how much more are they gonna steal from us? You know, how much more is Minnesota, these over there? So, I just think it’s time they need to pack it up. They’re doing pretty pitifully.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Al Green was kicked out of Trump’s speech for the second year in a row after heckling the President, holding up a banner that read, “Black People Aren’t Apes.”
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib also disrupted the President by screaming at him during his speech.
Trump responded to the lawmakers on Truth Social earlier, slamming them as “LUNATICS,” who “look like they should be institutionalized.”
