GOP Lawmaker Says Washington Is More a ‘Sewer’

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) says Washington should no longer be dubbed a “swamp” because it gives real wetlands a bad name, The Hill reports.

Said Burchett: “A swamp is actually something God created that actually works. It actually filters water. It has an input and an output.”

He added: “It really is an open sewer, is what Washington, D.C., is. And everything that comes out of it is a sewer.”
