Rep. Burchett on Becoming Tenn.’s Senator: ‘I’m Not Afraid of Anybody,’ I Work for the People of Tenn. Not Those Knuckleheads in Wash. D.C.

RUSH EXCERPT:
BURCHETT: "It is up to senator Blackburn and governor elect Blackburn which is very cool I have a 19-year-old daughter it’s very cool she is Tennessee’s first governor in that I know her personally. I don’t know what she will do. I did not talk to her about it beforehand it would not be ethical or legal fear of quid pro quo I’ve been in over 60 counties talking about her and myself. And polling data we are above all the other folks we been able to raise some money I would be like senator Blackburn I would take on the tough issues I think I would bring in bills from the house that just go to the Senate to die and give them a voice because I am not afraid of leadership I am not afraid of anybody I work for the people of Tennessee. Not those knuckleheads in Washington D.C. I appreciate you allowing me too say that."
