Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, representing Virginia’s 4th district, has expressed her concerns over recent actions by the Trump Administration through a series of tweets. These comments reflect her stance on various policies and their impacts.

On March 18, 2025, McClellan criticized the Trump Administration's approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. She stated that this approach is aimed at erasing historically significant narratives. Specifically, she highlighted the Department of Defense's actions as dishonoring "the memory of the Navajo Code Talkers who were instrumental to every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific Theater."
