Texas State Representative Tom Oliverson, M.D., shared a series of posts on his social media account in early August 2025, addressing both legislative matters and making remarks about an unnamed individual’s behavior.
On August 5, Oliverson posted: “I appreciate the @WillCainShow_ for having me on today! While our work in the Texas House is on hold, I remain hopeful that Texas Democrats will do right by their constituents and return to the Capitol. @FoxNews https://t.co/DFINuSaJy9” The statement referenced ongoing delays in legislative activity due to absent Democratic lawmakers.
Later that week, Oliverson published two additional comments regarding another person’s conduct. On August 8 he wrote: “Wow. What ever meds she is taking need to be increased. This is embarrassing y’all. #txlege https://t.co/RaaghZnF3a” Minutes later he added: “This is a classic example of “pressured speech”. She is clearly bipolar and under medicated.”
Tom Oliverson has served as a Republican member of the Texas State House since his election in 2017, representing District 130 after succeeding Allen Fletcher.
