Chris Deluzio, a Congressman representing Pennsylvania's 17th district since 2023, has recently expressed his views on several national issues through social media. His comments reflect concerns about recent political decisions and their implications for law enforcement, veteran services, and the American economy.
On January 24, 2025, Deluzio criticized the President's decision to pardon individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol assault. He stated: "The President pardoning criminals who assaulted Capitol Police officers on Jan. 6th—that's the opposite of law & order. Now, cop-beating felons are walking free. Shameful."
Later that day, Deluzio addressed potential repercussions of a federal hiring freeze announced by President Trump. He voiced concerns about its impact on veteran care at VA Pittsburgh: "I'm worried that President Trump’s federal hiring freeze could hurt veteran care and services here at @VAPittsburgh. So I'm asking the VA for answers and am ready to fight hard to protect my fellow veterans and our VA."
On January 26, 2025, Deluzio discussed economic challenges related to manufacturing jobs leaving America. He highlighted negative outcomes such as job loss and decreased product quality while advocating for increased domestic production: "We lost American jobs, furniture quality went down the drain, corporate profits soared, and working class towns were hollowed out. We've got to make more stuff in America again. I'm fighting to make it happen."
