Rep. Hank Johnson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Georgia’s 4th district, has expressed his views on various political issues through recent tweets. These posts address topics ranging from federal court roles to civil rights advocacy and critiques of certain administrative actions.
On February 11, 2025, Rep. Johnson tweeted about the role of federal courts in defending against what he perceives as former President Trump's authoritarian tendencies. He stated: "Federal courts should be the last line of defense against Trump's authoritarian overhaul of our government. Republicans are so content with allowing Trump to be a dictator that they’re now criticizing courts for upholding the Constitution."
The following day, February 12, 2025, he commemorated the founding of the NAACP in another tweet, highlighting its historical significance and ongoing mission. He wrote: "On February 12, 1909, the NAACP was founded. For 116 years, the NAACP has stood on the frontlines, fighting civil injustices and advocating for civil rights." Johnson noted contemporary challenges such as executive orders affecting Black history and DEI initiatives.
Later on February 12, Rep. Johnson criticized actions by former President Trump and Elon Musk in another post. He claimed: "Trump and his Co-President, Elon Musk, clearly want to shroud their administration’s actions from public scrutiny while they illegally freeze federal funds." His tweet also mentioned concerns over purging federal workers and accessing sensitive data for retaliatory purposes.
