Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland has recently posted a series of tweets addressing both military policy and public safety. The posts, made on December 9 and 10, 2025, cover topics ranging from the politicization of the armed forces to warnings about flooding in affected areas.

On December 9, Strickland wrote, “.@POTUS and his administration want to politicize and demoralize every servicemember who chooses to put their life on the line. How hard is it to say that racists should not be honored?”

The following day, she issued a public safety advisory: “Be alert to signs of flooding; learn more about impacted areas. READ: https://t.co/aXwJvwPAvY” This message directed readers to further information about regions at risk due to potential flooding.

Later on December 10, Strickland commented again on military matters, stating, “Apparently denouncing Confederate traitors and racism is too ‘woke’ for @POTUS and @SpeakerJohnson in 2025… #NDAA https://t.co/SVot6TAz8j”

Marilyn Strickland was elected in 2017 as a Republican representative for North Carolina’s 28th House district, succeeding James Langdon, Jr. Her recent statements come amid ongoing national discussions about how historical figures are commemorated within the U.S. military and broader debates over race-related issues.
