You Don’t Need Me on Here!” — Rep. Tim Burchett Torches CNN Host in On-Air Clash

TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – Rep. Tim Burchett challenged the Congressional Budget Office's neutrality and disputed its $3 trillion deficit impact estimate during a contentious CNN interview on Trump's spending bill.

  • Rep. Tim Burchett, a Tennessee Republican, clashed with CNN host Brianna Keilar on Wednesday over the Congressional Budget Office's estimates of President Trump's budget bill.
  • Burchett introduced a resolution in January 2024 to mandate the House Clerk to read CBO estimates but now criticized the office as partisan, citing 85% of its staff as Democrats.
  • During the exchange, Burchett said he remains undecided but leans to support the bill, questioned the CBO's dynamic scoring method, and accused media of exaggerating Medicaid cuts.
  • The Senate passed the bill this week, which extends 2017 tax cuts, cuts Medicaid by $1 trillion, adds $150 billion to the Pentagon, and increases ICE funding from $10 billion to over $100 billion.
  • Burchett's remarks reflect ongoing GOP skepticism toward the CBO's $3.3 trillion deficit increase estimate and highlight disputes about the bill's fiscal impact and transparency.
