Morgan Griffith, a U.S. Congressman representing Virginia's 9th district since 2011, shared his views on several issues via social media on February 6, 2025. The congressman addressed topics related to the fentanyl crisis and border policies.

On February 6, 2025, Griffith referred to the DEA’s 2024 National Drug Threat Assessment in a post stating that "fentanyl remains the primary cause of the ongoing epidemic of drug poisoning deaths in the United States." He emphasized that HALT Fentanyl aids the DEA in targeting traffickers and protecting communities.

Later that day, at 19:29 UTC, Griffith expressed gratitude towards GOP Majority Whip for their support. He remarked that "the American people deserve nothing less than safe neighborhoods and safe streets."

In another post made at 21:11 UTC on the same day, Griffith criticized current border policies by asserting that "every community in America is a border community because of Biden open border policies." He mentioned President Trump’s efforts to reverse these policies and advocated for passing HALT Fentanyl to combat fentanyl proliferation.
