Congressman Greg Casar, representing Texas’ 35th district since 2023, has taken to social media to express his concerns over recent political developments. Born in Houston and currently residing in Austin, Casar graduated from the University of Virginia in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
On May 7, 2025, Congressman Casar highlighted a transaction involving an international trucking company purchasing $20 million worth of crypto coins associated with former President Trump. According to Casar, this purchase was made to influence trade policy. He remarked on the irony of Trump’s previous promise to “drain the swamp,” suggesting that Trump is now “selling tickets to it on the blockchain.” The original post can be viewed here.
Later that day, Casar addressed his Republican colleagues regarding their stance on antisemitism. He questioned whether they would condemn Trump’s pardoning of neo-Nazis, pointing out the inconsistency between their claims of caring about antisemitism and their actions. He criticized what he described as the party’s indifference towards stopping antisemitism. The full statement is available here.
In another tweet posted shortly after, Casar expressed concern over Republicans’ decision to cut funding for addressing hate crimes and protecting synagogues. He argued that these actions do not prioritize Jewish students’ safety but rather aim to shield the Israeli government from criticism. His comments can be read here.
Greg Casar continues to voice his opinions on critical issues affecting his constituents and broader national policies through his platform as a U.S. Congressman.
