How to use burr in a sentence?

1. Mark Warner:

   Chairman Richard Burr and I have been pretty clear that we don't think that information should even be shared with us, we've turned down the opportunity to have that kind of briefing, because, because of the threat of leaking. Because there are other bodies on the Hill that get information, and very quickly afterwards that information appears in the press. We wanted to make sure that weren't going to be subject to any, even those kind of allegations.

2. President Donald Trump:

   It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear, and from Senator Burr shores, you know, it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. Senator Burr'll see what happens. Nobody really knows.

3. Senator Rubio:

   I am grateful to Leader McConnell for his confidence in me to lead the Senate Intelligence Committee during Senator Burr's absence from the Chairmanship, the Committee has long been one that conducts The Committee work seriously, and I look forward to continuing that tradition.

4. Richard Burr:

   Neither Burr nor Warner aim is to sow chaos, discord, and distrust.

5. Bob Trout:

   When I heard about the search warrant for Senator Burr's cell phone, my first thought was' speech or debate clause,' in the case of the FBI's Saturday night raid on Congressman Jefferson's office in the Rayburn House Office Building, Rayburn House had the look and feel of an invasion of Congressional sacred space. And on a bipartisan basis, Congress raised holy hell. Showing up at a Senator's personal residence and politely taking possession of a cell phone ? Not the same vibe.
