Knoxville’s own Tim Burchett never needs a fancy studio to make a point. On Sunday he grabbed a shovel.

Mucking out a horse stall in his new video, the East Tennessee congressman held nothing back. “It’s a load of horse crap,” he said. “You know what else I think is a load of horse crap? It’s doctors claiming they can turn little boys into little girls, and they butcher them in the process.”

“Children should never be mutilated,” Burchett wrote, “and your tax dollars sure as heck shouldn’t pay for it.”

It is the plain-spoken common sense Tennesseans expect from Burchett, and the same stand President Trump has taken: protect children, and keep taxpayers from footing the bill.
