In an age of partisan bickering and performative pugnaciousness, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) has set himself apart.
Burchett, a three-term Congressman serving Tennessee's 2nd Congressional District, has been a voice of sanity, bipartisanship, and civility in politics.
At an event in October, Burchett spoke about his friendly relationship with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes.
You know, I can respect a liberal. I respect Cortes. She's my buddy. I mean, she's a Marxist. She's a friendly neighborhood Marxist, as I always call her.
Watch here:
Burchett has also commented on his friendship with far-Left Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN), saying that "he called my momma when my daddy died."

And, just last week, Burchett hosted a 15-minute Christmas party at the Capitol. Republicans and Democrats alike basked in the Christmas cheer, noshing on crackers smothered in Cheez Whiz and drinking Mountain Dew. Perhaps not the healthiest options, but a hit nonetheless.

Watch NBC's coverage of the party here:
For 15-minutes, politics no longer mattered. The communitarian spirit stole the show. I'd say we can use a lot more of this.
