Rep. Eric Burlison, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 7th district, posted a series of statements on July 22, 2025, criticizing what he describes as political theater and media misconduct.
In his first tweet at 16:03 UTC, Burlison wrote: “No amount of political theater or propaganda can hide the facts. Voters are tired of the left’s assault on common-sense policy.
The public deserves leaders who put Americans first, not pander to the lawless fringe.

Later that day, at 17:53 UTC, Burlison commented on media coverage regarding allegations of Russian collusion: “The media pushed Russia collusion lies without evidence and the same people still hold the same jobs at the same networks. https://t.co/KIWgmZeFbF”.
