Chrissy Houlahan, a U.S. Congress member representing Pennsylvania's 6th district, expressed her views on recent political events through a series of tweets. Serving since 2019, Houlahan replaced Ryan Costello and has been active in addressing issues concerning the justice system and governance.

On December 2, 2024, Houlahan stated, "I still believe that no one should be above the law and will continue to use my voice to call out this and other examples of unwarranted immunity from our justice system." This tweet reflects her ongoing commitment to uphold accountability within the legal framework.

In another tweet posted on the same day, she remarked on a recent presidential pardon by stating: "While I understand the instinct to protect one's family and share the concern that President-Elect Trump will use his administration's powers to punish his personal and political enemies, I am disappointed that President Biden pardoned his son Hunter." Here, Houlahan conveyed her disapproval of President Biden's decision to pardon his son.

Additionally, reflecting on historical context and democratic values, she reiterated in a tweet: "As I said in May when President Trump was found guilty: our democracy will endure as it has for nearly 250 years, provided we determine ourselves to be a nation of people in service to one another and a nation of laws where no one, not even a former president, is above the law." This emphasizes her belief in maintaining democratic principles and equal application of laws.
