Rep. David Rouzer, a member of the U.S. Congress representing North Carolina's 7th District since 2015, has recently shared his thoughts on several significant political developments via social media. His remarks cover topics including leadership changes in the Senate, federal recognition for Native American tribes, and presidential pardons.

On January 22, 2025, Rep. Rouzer praised Senator Marco Rubio’s appointment as Secretary of State. He stated: "Senator Marco Rubio’s leadership in the Senate and his commitment to our country will be invaluable as he serves as Secretary of State. I know he will ensure America has a strong standing on the world stage once again!"

The following day, January 23, 2025, Rep. Rouzer expressed gratitude towards President Trump for supporting federal recognition of the Lumbee Tribe. He noted: "I want to thank President Trump for his support and work recognizing the need for full federal recognition of the Lumbee Tribe. Denied the services of other federally-recognized tribes for decades, Congress can correct this wrong by passing my bill, the Lumbee Fairness Act."

On January 24, 2025, Rep. Rouzer commented on President Trump's decision to pardon pro-life advocates during an event in Washington: "President Trump’s pardoning of 21 pro-life advocates could not come at a better time as thousands of Americans gather in Washington today for the March for Life. Peacefully defending the unborn should never be a crime."
