Wesley Hunt, serving as a U.S. Congressman for Texas's 38th District since 2023, shared his views on energy independence and political accountability through a series of tweets. These posts reflect his perspectives on the current state of American energy policy and leadership under former President Donald Trump.

On March 5, 2025, Wesley Hunt expressed his stance on energy independence with a tweet stating "America Leads in Clean, Powerful Energy—So Why Should We Ever Rely on our adversaries? Under TRUMP, those days are OVER. No more begging rogue nations for oil. It’s time to UNLEASH AMERICAN ENERGY and make the U.S. energy dominant again!" This tweet underscores his advocacy for self-reliance in the U.S. energy sector.

Later that day, at 19:03 UTC, he tweeted about economic challenges attributed to the Biden administration: " Karoline Leavitt SHUTS DOWN the Lies! Biden’s inflation crisis is NOT Trump’s fault—it’s the mess he inherited! Now, Trump is fighting to bring costs down and restore prosperity." Here, Hunt attributes inflation issues to policies predating Trump's administration while highlighting efforts to address these economic concerns.

In another tweet posted at 19:05 UTC on March 5th, Hunt critiqued Democratic attitudes towards military conflict versus peace efforts by stating "Democrats cheer for war—but where’s the applause for peace? They should be standing for the one leader who will actually deliver it: President Trump." This comment reflects his belief in Trump's capability to foster peace compared to what he perceives as warmongering tendencies among Democrats.
