Congressman Dwight Evans, who represents Pennsylvania’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, used his social media platform on February 6, 2026, to criticize former President Donald Trump for recent remarks and economic policies.
In a post published at 17:30 UTC, Evans wrote: “Donald Trump is a bigoted, small-minded man who has long spewed racist remarks and tried to whitewash our nation’s history. Today he finds a new low.
His recent post is vile, disgusting, and abhorrently racist. Every elected official should speak up and condemn this hate.”
Later that day at 21:57 UTC, Evans commented on the economic impact of Trump’s administration, stating: “Donald Trump said he would lower prices on “day one.”
But more than a year into his second term, new data shows his reckless economic policies and tariff-taxes have cost Philly families $2,020 — that’s over $168 a month! https://t.co/rsTyLrTp5G“
He also provided additional resources for constituents to learn about the local effects of national policy in another tweet posted at the same time: “Learn more about the impact of Trump’s cost of living crisis on our community here:
