Rep. Wesley Hunt, representing Texas's 38th District in Congress since 2023, has shared a series of tweets addressing several contentious topics. On April 17, 2025, Hunt voiced criticism of media coverage, Democratic policies, and the actions of Harvard University.

In a tweet posted at 13:51 UTC, Hunt expressed his discontent with media coverage of a crime incident involving Rachel Morin, describing her as "a victim of migrant crime." He contrasted the attention given to Morin with that given to "an illegal El Salvador citizen and MS-13 gang member," criticizing the media for dedicating more than an hour to the latter. Hunt noted the media's tendency to emphasize negative narratives about former President Trump and focused on how they "push the narrative that 'Trump is bad,' by covering deported criminals instead of victims" "here".

Later on the same day at 15:22 UTC, Hunt accused Democrats of misallocating taxpayer funds, stating they use them "to fly to El Salvador and check on gang members" while neglecting "grieving American families shattered by migrant crime." He further alleged that "violence isn’t just tolerated by the left—it’s become their message" "here".

Furthermore, in a 15:42 UTC tweet, Hunt criticized Harvard University for "STILL protecting antisemitism" and "openly defying the Trump Administration." He argued that if the institution prefers to "defend Hamas" over supporting U.S. citizens and safeguarding Jewish students, then it should lose federal funding and its tax-exempt status. Hunt suggested the university's actions warrant pulling financial support "here".

Wesley Hunt, born in 1981 in Houston, Texas, continues to reside there.
