GOP REP. BURCHETT SLAMS FEDERAL JUDGES FOR HALTING DEPORTATION FLIGHTS
Burchett’s retort seemed to shock the man, who stopped walking as the insult was hurled, while the congressman continued on.
The Tennessee congressman posted a video of the exchange on X and got several responses supporting him and cheering on his response. Texas congressman Wesley Hunt, R, simply replied, "Savage brother."

There are a number of videos on Burchett’s X account that feature someone who appears to be the same man who asked the congressman a question on Friday. Fox News Digital reached out to Burchett’s office to confirm if the videos feature the same person, but did not receive an immediate response, as it was outside office hours.
