Social Media Erupts Over Congressman’s Reaction to Trump Job Cuts — After His Death

Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) decried President Donald Trump’s move to cut thousands of jobs at the U.S. Department of Education in a long post on X Thursday, but there was one problem — he was dead at the time.

The post from Grijalva’s official X account, posted at 3:16 p.m. Thursday, slammed the president’s decision — but Grijalva had died that morning, according to a statement from his family that read, “The Office of the 7th District of Arizona is saddened to announce the passing of Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva. Rep. Grijalva fought a long and brave battle. He passed away this morning due to complications of his cancer treatments.”

Right-leaning X users were quick to point out that words appeared to be putting words in the late congressman’s mouth.

“Whoever wrote the above post is impersonating a deceased Congressman,” replied Elon Musk.

That is all fun and games until the Congress-critter is in an assisted living center—or is dead.

This is a perfect representation of the Democrats - fake, hollow and zero ethics. But, why shouldn’t a dead congressman tweet, dead democrats vote.

Lol.

Seems to me that rant gives clues that the Dept of Education didn’t necessarily produce the best results.
