Steve Cohen, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee’s 9th district since 2007, has been active on social media discussing various issues. His recent tweets address topics ranging from media criticism to political actions by former President Donald Trump.
On January 22, 2025, Cohen tweeted about Fox News with a succinct statement: “Fox: woke ? No Christ-like.” This brief commentary suggests a critique of the network’s alignment with certain values.
On January 23, 2025, Cohen expressed his disapproval of a pardon issued by former President Trump. He described it as “a long winded explanation” but emphasized that Trump pardoned an individual involved in serious crimes including child trafficking and drug dealing. According to Cohen, this person made over $180 million and was sentenced to life twice plus forty years before being released for no apparent reason.
Later that day, Cohen addressed another action by Trump regarding historical transparency. He mentioned urging Trump to release JFK assassination records and noted that shortly after his request, an executive order was issued to begin the process. Cohen stated on Twitter: “Transparency delayed is accountability denied.” He emphasized the importance of revealing these records after 61 years and committed to continuing his efforts to ensure their release.
