Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) on Wednesday said he regrets calling Vice President Harris a “diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) hire” even as he doubled down on the comments.
Speaking to Laura Coates on SiriusXM’s The Laura Coates Show, Burchett said, “Do I wish I'd said it? No, but it was the truth.”
Following President Biden’s decision to suspend his re-election campaign, and Harris’s subsequent own announcement for the presidency, Burchett took to X to express his disdain for the Democrats.
