Lance Gooden, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 5th district, has shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets. Gooden, who succeeded Jeb Hensarling in 2019 and previously served in the Texas House of Representatives, expressed concerns about national security and election processes.
On December 4, 2024, Gooden tweeted about border security: “11 special interest illegal aliens from Afghanistan crossed the border into Texas on Sunday. Let’s make one thing clear: Any politician, city, or state that works against Trump’s border and immigration plans is willfully putting our national security at risk.”
Later that day, he commented on the electoral process: “The final House race has been called nearly one month since November 5. Ballots should be counted on election night. It’s Election Day, not Election Month!” This tweet was posted on December 4, 2024.
In another tweet posted on December 4, 2024, Gooden discussed sanctuary cities: “When Texas buses illegal aliens to sanctuary cities, the mayors of those cities are outraged. When Trump plans to deport those same illegal aliens, the mayors of sanctuary cities plan to resist. How does any of this make sense?”
