Lance Gooden, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 5th district since 2019, has recently shared his views on various national issues through social media posts. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, and currently residing in Terrell, Gooden has been active in politics for several years, having previously served in the Texas House of Representatives.
On February 22, 2025, Gooden commented on a controversial topic related to the Olympics. He stated that “During the Olympics last summer, a biological male was allowed to beat up a woman.” He criticized this event as something that “the Governor of Maine is fighting to protect.”
Later that day, he addressed border control issues under different administrations. At 19:52 UTC, he tweeted about changes at the southern border under different presidents: “Under Joe Biden, the Mexican cartels controlled our southern border.” He contrasted this with President Trump’s tenure by stating that “we have regained control of the border and agents outnumber illegal crossers,” concluding with “America’s national sovereignty has been restored!”
In another tweet posted at 23:40 UTC on the same day, Gooden focused on alleged censorship involving Hunter Biden’s laptop story. He asserted that “The FBI knew Hunter Biden’s laptop was real but pressured Big Tech to censor the story.” He expressed confidence that such actions would cease under new leadership at the FBI.
