Rep. James Thibault, a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, posted a series of tweets on December 17, 2025, addressing recent legislative events and expressing criticism toward Democratic colleagues.
In his first tweet at 15:30 UTC, Thibault commented on the opening prayer of the House session: “For the opening prayer of House session today, Minority Leader Alexis Simpson invoked the winter solstice more than Christmas! Dems prefer paganism to Christianity and they aren’t hiding it”.
Later that day at 16:22 UTC, he voiced concerns regarding policies affecting women and girls’ safety: “An absolute disgrace. Democrats don’t care about the safety of women and girls, but we will continue to fight to protect these spaces!”.
At 17:36 UTC, Thibault expressed support for legislation aimed at college students: “Happy to stand alongside my colleagues today to support the Protecting College Students Act!”.
Thibault’s remarks reflect ongoing debates in state legislatures over religious references in government proceedings and policies concerning gendered spaces. Disputes over prayer content during legislative sessions have periodically arisen in various states as lawmakers balance religious diversity with traditional practices. The “Protecting College Students Act,” which Thibault referenced, is part of broader efforts by some legislators to address campus safety and student welfare through new legal measures.
