Later that day, at a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, he criticized Secretary of State Antony Blinken's tenure. In his tweet from December 11, 2024, he stated: "Antony Blinken’s legacy as Secretary of State is one of dysfunction, weakness, and death. He has made the world a more dangerous place, and at today’s Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, I urged him to reflect on those failures."
In another tweet posted on December 12, 2024, Congressman Lawler addressed local economic issues faced by New Yorkers. He remarked: "Giving New Yorkers $500 back while taking thousands more from them in new tolls and taxes isn't relief; it's a slap in the face to those barely getting by. New Yorkers need real relief, and I'm going to keep fighting to deliver it."
