Lance Gooden, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 5th district, shared his views on various political issues through a series of tweets on November 26, 2024. Gooden has been serving in Congress since 2019 after replacing Jeb Hensarling and has previously served in the Texas House of Representatives.

In a tweet posted on November 26, 2024, at 02:18:30 UTC, Gooden expressed his stance regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci's past recommendations for mask-wearing during Thanksgiving gatherings. He stated: "Remember when Dr. Fauci demanded that Americans wear masks during Thanksgiving gatherings? In 2025, we must finally hold Fauci accountable."

Later that day at 18:22:12 UTC, Gooden commented on recent political developments with the statement: "Beginning of November: President Trump secures a landslide victory. End of November: Walmart rolls back its woke DEI policies. We the People keep winning." This tweet highlights his support for President Trump and criticizes Walmart's diversity policies.

On the same day at 21:31:03 UTC, he addressed immigration policies implemented by city mayors across the United States. Gooden tweeted: "Boston's mayor has vowed to fight deportations. LA's mayor pushed its sanctuary city ordinance. Denver's mayor says he will go to jail to protect illegals. Imagine if they fought this hard for their actual constituents." His remarks question the priorities of these city leaders regarding their focus on protecting undocumented immigrants.
