Later that day, Burlison commented on public sentiment regarding political behavior in Washington. He stated that "the American people have no patience for political posturing or partisan gamesmanship," emphasizing that citizens desire their mandate to be respected. This message was conveyed in another tweet.

A subsequent post by Burlison included only a link without additional commentary or context. The link is available in his tweet.
