Rep. James Thibault, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Hampshire, posted a series of critical remarks on social media on August 5, 2025, addressing topics ranging from film criticism to international governance and social media policies.
In one post dated August 5, 2025, Thibault commented on the South Korean film Parasite and its inclusion in a list by The New York Times: “Parasite’s a mediocre movie on a good day and it promotes terrible values. In other words, perfect topper to a list from the New York Times https://t.co/vEiBeBu4hv”.
Later that morning, Thibault questioned his inability to follow the official ABC account on X (formerly Twitter), referencing Representative Jasmine Crockett: “Apparently I’m not old enough to follow @ABC? @X @Support what’s up with that? If it’s about that Jasmine Crockett story right, I agree she’s inappropriate for Congress but this is a little ridiculous https://t.co/5VUHGox1Cg” (August 5, 2025).
Thibault also criticized international organizations in another post made the same day: “Shockingly, most people don’t care what a bunch of corrupt international bureaucrats have to say about how they should live their lives https://t.co/WwaT7nZyx0” (August 5, 2025).
Rep. James Thibault has previously voiced skepticism toward major news outlets and global institutions. His comments reflect ongoing debates over cultural representation in media—such as controversy around films like Parasite—and broader public distrust in international bodies among some U.S. political figures.
