Representative Tim Burchett said he would try to block New York Democratic congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier from taking office if she wins her upcoming election. Burchett cited Chevalier’s past comment in which she said she would use the American flag as a napkin. In an interview with the New York Post, Burchett said he would try to use a simple majority vote in January to block Chevalier from taking her seat should she win. “You take an oath to uphold the Constitution, and you’re pretty much disavowing it right there. I just think we’ve lost our compass,” he said. “I’m looking at a 48-star flag that hung on my uncle’s casket and [he] died fighting the Nazis, and then see somebody going to get elected to Congress in New York who said they use that flag for a napkin,” he continued.
