Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D., representing North Carolina’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, has recently shared his views on several topics through a series of tweets. Murphy, who has been serving since 2019 after succeeding Walter B. Jones Jr., expressed his opinions on issues ranging from diversity initiatives in education to voter identification laws.

On February 9, 2025, Congressman Murphy criticized the adherence of colleges and universities to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. He compared it to "the greatest peer pressure event since the Spanish Inquisition," describing DEI as "unscientific, divisive and degrading." He urged academic administrators to discard these practices. The full tweet can be found here.

Later that day, at approximately 11:52 PM UTC, Murphy commented on a sports event involving the Kansas City Chiefs. His tweet suggested that referees were showing favoritism towards the team with a brief remark: "Refs already favoring the Chiefs. Geez." This statement is available here.

On February 10, 2025, Murphy addressed his concerns regarding Voter ID laws and their opposition by Democrats. He accused them of wanting to cheat and questioned if this was related to their dislike for cryptocurrency Dogecoin (@DOGE). He emphasized transparency as crucial for addressing government overspending issues by stating: "Sunlight is the best disinfectant to the waste, fraud and abuse in our overspending government."
