Congressman Kevin Hern, representing Oklahoma's 1st District since 2018, expressed strong criticism of certain Democratic policies and figures through a series of tweets on January 28, 2025. Hern, who succeeded Jim Bridenstine in Congress and resides in Tulsa, Oklahoma, utilized his social media platform to voice concerns about issues he attributes to the Democratic Party.

In a tweet posted at 19:29 UTC, Congressman Hern criticized mayors like Brandon Johnson for what he perceives as their failure to protect citizens. He stated that these leaders are emblematic of "failed Democrat policies" which allow "convicted, undocumented criminals" to threaten American communities.

Later that day at 21:15 UTC, Hern accused Democrats of disseminating falsehoods. He asserted that Democrats resort to "extreme falsehoods and use scare tactics" due to an alleged lack of a substantive agenda for the American public.

At 21:30 UTC, Hern condemned the spread of misinformation, calling it a "dereliction of duty." He directly addressed a senator, suggesting they should be ashamed for propagating what he termed as "FACT-CHECKABLE LIES."
