Rep. Eric Burlison, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 7th district since 2023, has recently shared his views on various political issues through a series of tweets. These posts reflect his stance on governmental accountability, political nominations, and immigration policies.

On November 18, 2024, Rep. Burlison expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in Washington, D.C., stating that "The American people are sick of the elites in Washington, D.C. telling them how to live and wasting their hard-earned money." He emphasized the public's desire for significant change and highlighted the responsibility of elected officials to enact it. "They've given us a mandate for transformative change. We have a responsibility to carry it out."

Later that day, Burlison commented on the reaction to Trump's nominations by saying that "Trump's nominations have the Swamp in complete freak-out mode because they realize their 2016 tricks aren't going to work this time around." His statement suggests confidence in overcoming previous political challenges associated with these appointments. Link

In another tweet from November 18, he criticized the Biden-Harris administration regarding immigration policy. He accused them of using taxpayer money improperly: "The Biden/Harris regime used your money to fly an illegal alien gang member into your country who then brutally murdered an innocent American." He called for strict border security measures under a potential future Trump administration: "Pure evil."
