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.”
