Rep. Burchett Jokes About Horse Breaking His Rib: If It Was an Inch and a Half Higher, All Y‘all Be Here in Knoxville at My Funeral

EXCERPT:

BURCHETT: "Yeah, I broke a rib. I got kicked. And it was an inch and a half higher,. all y‘all be here in Knoxville at my funeral. All the people that hate me telling me — tell everybody what a great person I was, and then they name a bridge after me in five years later, everybody would say, 'Who‘s that guy they named that bridge after?' 'Oh, that‘s that guy that got kicked by a horse.' But no, I‘m great. Well, UT medical center, the trauma center, they took care of me. And I just broke one rib, so I got really lucky, brother. Thank you for I missed one meeting. I missed the kid's Eagle Scout ceremony, so I‘ll probably have to take him out for a pizza later, but that‘s. That‘s all I missed. I‘ve had drivers, and everybody‘s been great."
