Brian Harrison, a public figure known for his outspoken views on political issues, shared a series of tweets on June 17, 2025, addressing various concerns related to the Texas government and his personal experiences in politics.
In one tweet posted at 14:41 UTC, Harrison expressed skepticism about claims made by the Texas government regarding funding. He stated, “Don’t believe the lies. The Texas government continues to fund DEI and liberal gender indoctrination…even though the Austin uniparty says it doesn’t. ‘Operation Gaslight’ is fully underway.” This statement suggests that he believes there is ongoing financial support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives contrary to official statements.
Later that day at 16:03 UTC, Harrison recounted challenges he has faced over the past year in his political career. He mentioned being censured by his party caucus and experiencing hostility while speaking publicly. He detailed instances where he was subjected to media scrutiny and threats against his safety that led to arrests. In his words: “In the past 12 months I’ve been censured by the House ‘GOP’ caucus, laughed and cussed at while speaking on the floor, the subject of media hit piece after hit piece…”
At 16:30 UTC on the same day, Harrison addressed economic issues affecting Texans. He highlighted property taxes as a significant burden for many residents of Texas. He attributed this issue to what he perceives as inefficiencies within state governance: “MILLIONS of Texans struggle to afford their property taxes… Because the Texas government has been too big… Too liberal… Too weak… Too corrupt… For too long!”
