Rep. Mark Alford, U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 4th district since 2023, criticized Democratic actions in a series of tweets on October 17, 2025. Alford commented on upcoming political events and the ongoing government shutdown.
On October 17, Alford wrote, "Tomorrow’s “No Kings” rally isn’t about freedom—it’s about feeding the Far-Left spectacle that’s driving the Democrat Party."
Later that day, he addressed the ongoing government shutdown in a thread. In his first post at 20:59 UTC, he stated: ": Day 17 of the Schumer Shutdown
Here’s what Democrats have done
Voted 11 times to keep the government closed.
Blocked a bipartisan bill to pay our troops.
Planned a “Hate America” rally instead of doing their jobs.
It’s not leadership—it’s a spectacle."
In a follow-up tweet posted one second later, Alford continued: "They had 11 chances to reopen the government.
Instead, Democrats chose to:
Block troop pay
Film TikToks
Plan a “No Kings” rally
That’s not public service. That’s performance art."
