In a series of tweets, Congresswoman Gwen Moore voiced her criticism of current political strategies and actions by the Republican Party and former President Donald Trump in relation to economic and social policies. Moore represents Wisconsin's 4th Congressional District and has been serving in this role since 2005, succeeding Jerry Kleczka. Her notable career includes representation in the Wisconsin State Assembly and the Wisconsin State Senate prior to her Congressional tenure. Below are the details of her recent statements on various economic and political issues.
On April 8, 2025, Congresswoman Moore addressed recent news surrounding a significant global trade conflict. She criticized Donald Trump and the GOP for attempting to pass what she terms another "tax scam" aimed at benefiting billionaires, which she argues will significantly increase the national debt. Moore's statement emphasized her view that "Enriching rich insiders has always been the goal."
Later that day, Moore commented on Republican narratives regarding government aid recipients. She accused Republicans of using stereotypes to justify substantial cuts to social safety nets, implying this is a tactic to divert attention from large-scale financial cuts. Her tweet noted, "Republicans perpetuate stereotypes about people who receive government aid as a cover for stripping billions from the social safety net."
The following day, on April 9, Moore discussed the prevailing market instability amidst rising tensions in global trade. She remarked on Trump's calls for calm among markets during this period, highlighting the impact of retaliatory tariffs on rising prices. Additionally, she pointed to the absence of intervention from the Federal Reserve and Trump's subsequent reliance on Congress to offer tax cuts for high earners. Moore's tweet summarized the situation by stating, "No rate cuts rescue from the Fed. So he turns to Republicans in Congress to slash taxes for billionaires — his only play left in the book for the new 'Golden Age.'"
