Lance Gooden, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 5th district since 2019, shared his thoughts on various political topics through recent social media posts. Gooden has been serving in Congress after succeeding Jeb Hensarling and has previously held office in the Texas House of Representatives.
On May 20, 2025, Gooden expressed his support for former President Donald Trump during a visit to Capitol Hill. In his tweet, he stated: “Honored to have President @realDonaldTrump on Capitol Hill today. The Big Beautiful Bill contains what Americans OVERWHELMINGLY voted for in November. That’s why we will deliver HISTORIC tax cuts, UNLEASH American energy, and PERMANENTLY secure the border!”
Later that day, at 15:39 UTC, Gooden commented on the current administration’s immigration policies by questioning previous approaches. He tweeted: “Aren’t you glad we have an administration flying illegal aliens out of the country instead of into the country?”
In another post made at 19:39 UTC on May 20, Gooden criticized former FBI director James Comey regarding a controversial image he posted online. He remarked: “Disgraced FBI director Comey claims his shell picture was ‘a clever way to express a political viewpoint.’ How could he think it was clever if he also claims he didn’t know what it meant?”
Gooden is known for his strong stance on conservative values and has been actively involved in legislative activities related to taxation and immigration policies.
