Rep. Kelly Hastings, a Republican representing North Carolina’s 110th House district since 2011, addressed several topics on social media on August 19, 2025, ranging from legislative rumors to commentary on state educational institutions.
In a post published at 17:51 UTC, Hastings questioned the origins of certain claims circulating online, stating, “Who told you this? Do you actually think we would be that crazy? Come on, man! Where do you people get this crazy stuff? #ncpol https://t.co/8r8DF719OP”.
Later that evening at 19:56 UTC, Hastings commented on the professionalism of another legislator and physician in explaining state law. He wrote, “I thought @CampbellforNC, a physician and member of the General Assembly of North Carolina, did a professional job of explaining the law. I am not perfect. Maybe I missed something, but I trust his opinion. I was not aware that you commented. No offense intended. KH https://t.co/FYDCJcVUdr”.
At 20:13 UTC the same day, Hastings clarified information about public university requests for new academic programs in North Carolina: “UNC Wilmington is the only public school that has recently asked, via their liaison, for a medical school. WCU and App State have not asked for law schools or medical schools. Thanks for your recommendations though. https://t.co/E77TAUOj1T”.
Hastings has served in the North Carolina State House since his election in 2011 to represent District 110 after succeeding Pearl Burris-Floyd.
