Rep. Andrew Clyde, a U.S. Congressman representing Georgia’s 9th district since 2021, posted several statements on his official Twitter account on March 12, 2026, addressing issues related to religion in politics, military spending, and legislative action.
In a tweet published at 16:46 UTC, Clyde commented on perceived differences in how Democrats respond to religion in public life: “When it’s Christianity, Democrats whine about the separation of church and state. When it’s Islam, they welcome it.”
Later that day at 18:54 UTC, he criticized Democratic lawmakers’ reactions to military spending and alleged fraud involving Somali individuals: “Democrats are outraged that the Pentagon spent millions to feed steak and lobster to our troops. Yet they remain silent about Somali fraudsters stealing billions of dollars from the American people. Let that sink in.”
At 20:01 UTC, Clyde referenced public support for the SAVE America Act and called for Senate action: “71% of Americans support the SAVE America Act. If Senators can’t muster the courage to force a talking filibuster to pass a bill with that kind of support, they ought to go home.”
Clyde has held his congressional seat since replacing Doug Collins in 2021. He has consistently won re-election by significant margins—defeating Tambrei Cash in 2024 with nearly 69% of the vote, Michael Ford in 2022 with over 72%, and Devin Pandy in 2020 with almost 79%. Born in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada in 1963, Clyde currently resides in Athens.
