Republican Rep. Tim Burchett has urged President Donald Trump not to let the money being saved by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to be spent by “war pimps at the Pentagon.”
Rep. Burchett shared his concerns with the president during a recent meeting.
“I said, Mr. President, my biggest fear is this, you’re making all these great cuts with DOGE, and every dollar is going to be absorbed by the war pimps at the Pentagon and the war pimps in Congress,” the congressman told Breitbart News.
Burchett continued, “And I said, your problem is not going to come from the Marxist on the left of the Democrats. I said it’s going to come from the Republicans. And I said, you got about 100, 150 days before this bunch turns on you. They’re going to start making — they’re going to start cutting edges, the same people that did it before, that same machine.”
The congressman said, “It’s not a swamp, it’s a sewer. And I call them war pimps.”
According to Burchett, Rep. Cory Mills also joined in sharing these concerns.
“And immediately the conversation turned to that. And my buddy, Cory Mills, military guy, he can — he’s much more eloquent than I am, and he started describing how it’s going to go. And you know, it just went from there.”
“That’s my concern, because all this money we’re saving from DOGE is just, you got to remember, the Pentagon has never, ever passed an audit,” he said, explaining that the people there are “so arrogant.”
“They cannot account for over a half a trillion dollars. That is an aircraft carrier that they cannot account for. … I just made that case. I’m all for the military,” Burchett said.
The America First congressman said “it’s a new chapter in America.”
“And we really got one shot at this thing. Don’t kid yourself, if Trump cannot pull this off, the next one will run us further off that cliff,” he added.
