Lance Gooden, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 5th district, recently shared a series of tweets on March 5, 2025. The posts covered a range of topics including respect for former President Donald Trump, immigration policies, and views on gender and sports.

In his first tweet from that day, Gooden stated: "Putting the American people FIRST is normal. No one will disrespect President @realdonaldtrump in front of me." This post underscores his support for the former president.

Later that day, Gooden commented on Trump's recent address to Congress: "President Trump's powerful address to Congress tonight was nothing short of historic. It's time for Congress to answer his call. We must provide funding for the deportations of the dangerous illegal aliens Joe Biden let infiltrate our nation!" In this tweet, he emphasizes his stance on immigration and border security.

Gooden also expressed his views on gender-related issues in another post: "It's not normal for men to play in women's sports. It's not normal for children to have gender surgery. It's not normal for tax dollars to fund trans mice. What today's Democrat Party stands for is not normal, Melanie." This message highlights his opposition to certain progressive policies regarding gender identity and expression.
