Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) plans to try to block Democratic nominee and New York socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier from taking her seat in Congress if she wins the Nov. 3 election — over her saying she used the American flag as a napkin.

Burchett told The Post he intends to make the unusual parliamentary move when the new Congress convenes in January — using a simple majority to prevent newly elected lawmakers from being seated before they take the oath of office.

“You take an oath to uphold the Constitution, and and you’re pretty much disavowing it right there. I just think we’ve lost our compass,” he said in an interview.

He cited Chevalier’s incendiary flag comment, which he called an affront to his own family’s military service. His father was a World War II Marine, while his dad’s brother served on a Navy destroyer.

It was just one flashpoint in the Mamdani-backed socialist’s history of controversy.

She took part in the 2024 campus takeover at Columbia University and was a key player in an anti-Israel group that once said it was “fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization.”

She attended an anti-Israel rally the day after the horrific Hamas Oct. 7 attack in Israel. In an online post during the 2020 election, she called the US a “f—ing disgrace” and called President Joe Biden a “war criminal.” Chevalier’s campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment.

On Jan. 3, 2027, she will become a new member of Congress – but not if Burchett can help it.
