Houston Republic

Rep. Wesley Hunt, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Texas's 38th District since 2023, shared a series of tweets on February 18, 2025, addressing various political issues and public spending concerns.

In one tweet posted at 19:50 UTC, Rep. Hunt criticized what he perceives as hypocrisy in political discourse. He stated: "Fighting for 'democracy' while questioning if elections should even happen is like opening a steakhouse and banning beef." He further expressed disapproval of accepting American taxpayer money while refusing to accept the results of American-led peace talks.

Later that day at 19:59 UTC, Rep. Hunt commented on financial management and accountability. He questioned the implications of exposing fraud by asking: "If exposing fraud makes you the enemy, what does that make the people hiding it?" He praised Elon Musk for cutting more spending in four weeks than had been done in forty years.

At 20:29 UTC, Rep. Hunt highlighted concerns over public expenditure and its communication to the public. He remarked sarcastically about reactions to revelations concerning wasted tax dollars: "Your tax dollars got wasted, but yeah, let’s yell at the billionaire who told you about it."
