Congressman Greg Steube, who represents Florida's 17th congressional district, posted a series of tweets on October 14, 2025, addressing topics ranging from former President Barack Obama's legacy to drone security at public events and commemorating Charlie Kirk's birthday.

In a tweet published on October 14, 2025, Steube criticized former President Obama, stating, "Barack Obama has no business lecturing anyone about 'playing things straight.' Under Obama’s watch: - His IRS targeted conservatives - His DOJ spied on reporters - His FBI wiretapped the Trump campaign - His administration pushed the Russiagate hoax against Trump Obama set the https://t.co/oHXU9kDtn3".

Later that day, Steube commemorated the birthday of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, writing, "Today is Charlie Kirk’s 32nd Birthday. He should still be here, celebrating the day with his family. He should still be here, leading the next generation of conservatives forward. And he should still be here, pointing the world to Christ. His legacy is what we carry with us. https://t.co/5BuFOtgpAi".

Steube also addressed security concerns regarding drones at public gatherings, emphasizing legislative efforts in a tweet: "The Trump administration is taking seriously the threat of drones to public events. Congress must do the same. That’s why I proposed the DEFENSE Act to empower state and local law enforcement officers to intercept and disable hostile drones at sports venues and other large https://t.co/pjrQnZFVeW".

The DEFENSE Act, referenced by Steube, is intended to grant state and local law enforcement additional authority to counter potential drone threats at large-scale events, a topic that has gained increased attention as drone technology becomes more accessible and poses new challenges for public safety.

Barack Obama, mentioned in Steube's posts, served as President of the United States from 2009 to 2017 and has faced criticism from some lawmakers regarding actions taken by federal agencies during his administration.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, is a prominent figure in conservative activism whose work has influenced many young conservatives across the country.
