Shelley Moore Capito, U.S. Senator representing West Virginia, posted a series of statements on her social media account addressing national security, labor issues, and local sports achievements.
On March 13, 2026, Capito criticized Democratic lawmakers for their votes affecting Department of Homeland Security funding. She stated: “Democrats have now voted four times to defund @DHSgov, and @TSA workers across America will miss their first paycheck today for the third time in six months. Democrats must start prioritizing the American people before there are further consequences. @DHSgov exists to keep our”.
The following day, March 14, 2026, Capito expressed support for President Biden’s approach to Iran. She wrote: “.@POTUS is achieving his objectives in Iran and I fully support his actions to neutralize this threat.”
Later on March 14, she congratulated the West Virginia University Rifle team for their athletic success: “Congratulations to @WVURifle on bringing another national championship home to West Virginia!”
Senator Capito has been an advocate for border security and has previously voiced concerns about funding disruptions at federal agencies such as DHS and TSA. Her recent remarks align with ongoing debates in Congress over appropriations bills and government shutdown threats that can impact federal workers’ paychecks.
Her public endorsement of the president’s foreign policy signals bipartisan agreement on some national security matters amid broader political divisions.
