Steve Cohen, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee’s 9th district since 2007, has been vocal on social media about current political and economic issues. On February 13, 2025, he shared his thoughts through a series of tweets addressing topics such as the economy and recent controversies involving public figures.
In a tweet posted on February 13, 2025, at 15:55 UTC, Cohen criticized former President Donald Trump for focusing on “taking over the Kenedy Center” instead of addressing economic concerns. He stated: “Prices are up, inflation is up. Trump’s attention should NOT be on taking over the Kenedy Center—he should be 100% focused on the economy. Stop going to the glitter and fulfill your promises to the financially stressed.”
Later that day at 18:52 UTC, Cohen questioned remarks made by Vice President JD Vance regarding racist posts by a staffer. Cohen tweeted: “What country are we living in where the Vice President says he only disagrees with ‘some’ of a staffer’s racist posts? What part of them does he agree with? JD Vance says it shouldn’t ruin a kid’s life, but these posts were made in 2024. He wasn’t a ‘kid’ then, and he isn’t one…” This statement reflects his concern about accountability and leadership within government ranks.
