GOP Rep. Tim Burchett: I Voted To Oust Kevin McCarthy Because He Mocked Me For Praying About My Decision

“It was just the fact that I publicly stated on your station, I think, this morning that I was praying about it and I had two paths to go, either go with my friend or go with my conscience, and I was praying that God would tell me what to do, which he does.

“I pray for my wife, I pray for my daughter, I pray for my enemies, I pray for the speaker, I pray for this president. When things come up, I pray for his son.

“As a Christian, that’s what I’m supposed to do. But when someone mocks me like that and mocks my religion, honestly, the bible is pretty clear about God being mocked, so that’s what sealed it right there for me.

“I said, this is not the quality or the character of person that I want as speaker of the United States.” – GOP Rep. Tim Burchett, speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper.

Burchett appeared here in June 2023 when he declared that UFOs are real because it says so in the bible. Burchett also appeared here in April 2023 when he blamed a mass shooting in his home state on a lack of Jesus in public schools. Days earlier, Burchett claimed that “people who pray” never commit mass shootings.
