Tim Burchett desperately wants musicians to fly in to CircleJerk 250 so Grampy has music for his f*cking moron dance [View all]

In a two-minute video posted to social media on Sunday, Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee’s second congressional district, addressed Trump directly as he outlined his plan to rescue the event by flying in MAGA acts.

“What we ought to do is, my suggestion, get your friend and my friend John Rich, great musician, to lead it off,” Burchett began, after denouncing the acts who cancelled as “pathetic.”

“He’s got some great patriotic tunes he’s written and he sings and it’s just awesome, and let him MC the dadgum thing, and have all these folks come in, there’s plenty of acts in Nashville—people that are trying to get on, get on a big stage like this—this is a world stage,” he continued, perhaps not having heard that even before Trump threatened to cancel there were problems selling tickets.

“Let some of those musicians get out and sing a few songs. All we’d have to do is pay for their dadgum airfare...they’d love it,” he said.
