GOP Rep. Burchett levels guy that asks him if he supports 'Trump’s call to shut down the government'

We know a lot of eyes will be on the Republican primary debate and/or the Trump rally tonight, but we would be remiss if we didn't bring you this absolute gem of a reply by GOP Rep. Tim Burchett when a 'reporter' asked him whether he supports 'Trump's call to shut the down the government':

REPORTER: “Do you support Trump’s call to shut down the government?”

Well, ouch. That one had to hurt. And for the record, we do not support that particular fashion choice either.

Nor did many folks on X/Twitter:

Brown belt, black socks, brown shoes, powder blue polo, khaki shorts.

Rep. Butchery was restrained in his response.

Regardless of your political affiliation, you have to admit it was a pretty funny reply:

This is actually rather hilarious.

It's INCREDIBLY hilarious.

Somebody had to say it.

Somebody sure did, and Rep. Burchett was clearly up to the job.

And let's not forget this little point:

It ALWAYS has to be about Trump, unreal…

Not every question or topic has to involve former President Trump, yet here we are.

This one may be our favorite reply of all:

When someone adds the 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' music, you know you've done messed up.
