Burchett has snappy reply to man asking him about the Signal chat leak

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., recently found himself in the spotlight after a viral video captured a humorous exchange between him and a young man attempting a “gotcha” question. In the video, the man approached the congressman with a phone in hand, asking about the Signal chat leak that has been making waves in Washington, D.C.

Instead of ignoring the question or providing a serious response, Rep. Burchett delivered a witty comeback that caught the man off guard. He quipped, “Do you trust your mother every night to fix your Hot Pockets and make sure your Game Boy is turned on?” The humorous retort left the man momentarily stunned as the congressman continued on his way.

The video of the exchange quickly gained traction on social media, with many viewers praising Rep. Burchett for his quick wit. Fellow congressman Wesley Hunt, R, even chimed in, calling the response “savage.”

This was not the only interaction between Rep. Burchett and the man behind the camera. A previous video posted by the congressman featured the same individual, asking a similar question about trusting Trump’s national security team. In response, Rep. Burchett humorously remarked, “I do — but I do not trust your wardrobe adviser.”

It appears that this playful banter between the congressman and the man behind the camera is a recurring theme. Several videos on Rep. Burchett’s social media account feature the same individual posing questions. While it is unclear if these interactions are staged or spontaneous, they have certainly entertained viewers and garnered attention for the congressman.

Fox News Digital reached out to Rep. Burchett’s office for confirmation on the consistency of the individual in the videos but did not receive an immediate response. Despite the lighthearted nature of these exchanges, Rep. Burchett remains focused on his duties as a representative for Tennessee.

In conclusion, Rep. Tim Burchett’s clever responses to “gotcha” questions have showcased his sense of humor and ability to think on his feet. These playful interactions have endeared him to supporters and brought a touch of levity to the political landscape. As he continues to navigate the challenges of his role in Congress, Rep. Burchett’s humor and quick wit are sure to keep him in good stead with his constituents.
