House Oversight Committee member Rep. Tim Burchett discusses the recent hearing on the rise in crime in Washington, D.C. and calls for the immediate release of the Nashville shooters manifesto.received scorn from leftists for arguing that the country needs a revival – not Congress – to remedy gun violence in the wake of Monday's Covenant School shooting in Nashville that left six dead.
Rolling Stone said Burchett"honestly" stated the GOP's plan for school shootings with the controversial phrasing. A Vanity Fair contributor said he won the award for the most"f---ked up response" to the shooting. Burchett, who represents the Knoxville area, said outrage over the comment boils down to those dismissing"thoughts and prayers" as a response to"I think they come back to me and say, ‘Look what your prayers have done for us,' and the people doing the praying aren't the ones doing the shooting," he told host Ashley Strohmier.
"There was a mental issue there," he said."I think that feeds a lot into how she was able to obtain a firearm."
