Rep. Eric Burlison, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 7th district and an alumnus of Missouri State University, has utilized social media to express his views on a range of topics. With a background in Missouri politics and having taken office in 2023, Burlison engages consistently with his constituency through various platforms.

On April 11, 2025, Burlison posted a succinct message questioning the definition of suppressors, saying, "Pssst…suppressors are PPE, pass it on." Through this, he implies an alternative perspective on the use of suppressors, commonly associated with firearms.

Later the same day, at 16:19, Rep. Burlison challenged governmental fiscal policies by stating, "How much longer can the government spend on programs it doesn't have the money for? Depends how much you are willing to bankrupt America's future generations." This tweet underscores Burlison’s view on fiscal responsibility and intergenerational economic impacts.

At 17:36, Burlison commented on public broadcasting entities by asserting, "NPR and PBS were meant to educate, not indoctrinate. If they want to go full tilt left, it’s time they do it without your tax dollars." This statement reflects his opinion that if such institutions aim to present a particular political bias, they should operate without federal funding.

Eric Burlison has represented Missouri's 7th District in Congress since 2023. He has a history of political service in the Missouri House of Representatives and Missouri Senate before his current role in the U.S. Congress.
