Burchett kicked by horse, breaks rib

Rep. Tim Burchett is on the mend after suffering a horse-related snafu.

The Tennessee Republican was “accidentally kicked by a horse” while working on his farm over the weekend, according to his office.


While the 60-year-old Congress member’s injuries include a broken rib and bruising, press secretary Will Garrett said Burchett isn’t holding his horses when it comes to his work schedule.

“There have been no changes to his schedule,” he continued. “He spoke in Maury County last night and has a full slate of district events throughout the week.”

Burchett has to be one of the very worst persons on the planet. Maybe the horse knows this.

I'd be signing up for the GoFundMe to get the nice horsy some extra treats if it weren't his own horse. (He's probably divert the funds to his own campaign or something, if he's anything like his mentor.)
