While he tells Ask a Pol he’s not calling Oversight Committee Chair James Comer a liar, Burchett feels lied to. “He told you—he told everybody—I was gonna chair it, and now they're saying, ‘Oh, well, you know, he's gonna get to do it—he just doesn't, he just doesn't get the gavel,” Burchett tells Ask a Pol. “I mean, what does that mean? What does that mean?” Matt Laslo is a veteran congressional correspondent and founder of Ask a Pol—a people-powered press corps.
