Eric Burlison, a current U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 7th district, has been vocal on various issues through his social media presence. On July 7, 2025, he expressed his views on government actions and policy preferences.

In a tweet posted at 20:14 UTC, Burlison stated "The deep state wants war, amnesty, and cover-ups. The American people want peace, mass deportations, and full declassification. It’s not complicated." This statement reflects his stance against certain governmental approaches and highlights his preference for transparency and strict immigration policies.

Later that evening at 20:50 UTC, Burlison commented on the conclusion of an investigation by the Department of Justice with "The DOJ just quietly closed the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. No charges. No client list. No further explanation. Did Epstein even ever exist?" His remarks indicate skepticism about the investigation's closure without significant disclosures or legal actions.

Subsequently, at 22:06 UTC on the same day, Burlison succinctly tweeted "No amnesty." This tweet underscores his firm opposition to any form of clemency or leniency in immigration policies.

Eric Burlison has served in Congress since 2023 after succeeding Billy Long. He has also held positions in the Missouri House of Representatives from 2009 to 2017 and in the Missouri Senate from 2019 to 2023.
