Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana’s 2nd district, shared a series of statements on social media addressing various topics of national and personal significance. The posts span from January 27 to January 28, 2025, and cover themes such as Holocaust remembrance, birthday wishes to a colleague, and criticism of a presidential order.
On January 27, Congressman Carter commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day. He emphasized the importance of remembering the victims of the Holocaust and urged continued vigilance against antisemitism and hatred. In his post, he stated: “On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jewish people and countless others who were murdered in the Holocaust. As we honor their memories, we must continue our fight against antisemitism and hatred – wherever and whenever we see it.”
The following day, on January 28, Carter extended birthday greetings to his colleague Congressman Bennie G. Thompson. He expressed admiration for Thompson’s dedication to public service by saying: “Happy Birthday to my dear friend and colleague Congressman @BennieGThompson! It has been an honor to work alongside you and witness your unwavering dedication to serving the people. Your leadership, wisdom, and commitment to justice inspire us all.”
Later that day, Carter criticized an executive order issued by President Trump that involved freezing federal funding. He highlighted the potential negative impacts of this decision in his tweet: “President Trump’s unlawful order to freeze all federal funding has far-reaching consequences—delayed paychecks for hardworking Americans, layoffs of police officers and firefighters, and the loss of vital nutrition programs for children, women, and seniors.”
