Rep. Keith Self, representing Texas’ 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of tweets on December 13, 2024, expressing his views on political collaboration and Republican priorities. Self has been serving since replacing Van Taylor in 2023.
In a tweet posted at 17:44 UTC, Rep. Keith Self criticized the idea of Republican Texas House Members collaborating with Democrats to elect a Speaker who might appoint Democrats to chair committee positions in return for political support. He stated that "There is no justification for any Republican Texas House Member to work with Democrats to elect a Speaker who will appoint Democrats to chair committee positions in exchange for political support," reflecting concerns about bipartisan cooperation under specific conditions.
Later that day, at 21:40 UTC, Self reiterated his commitment to the "America First" agenda. He acknowledged President Trump's role in achieving what he described as a political trifecta and emphasized the need for Republicans to fulfill their promises without further delays or betrayals. He declared, "The American people sent a clear message on November 5th: AMERICA FIRST... No more excuses. No more betrayals. It’s time for Republicans to DELIVER!"
At 21:47 UTC, Rep. Keith Self posted a succinct tweet stating simply "Yep.", which linked to another source but did not provide additional context within the tweet itself.
