Congressman Mike Lawler has voiced his concerns through social media regarding recent events and celebrations in his district. Lawler, who represents New York’s 17th district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of tweets addressing a local film center's programming decisions and community events.
On March 31, 2025, Congressman Lawler criticized the Jacob Burns Film Center's decision not to screen a documentary. He expressed that "I’m holding the Jacob Burns Film Center accountable for refusing to screen October 8th – a critical documentary exposing the rise of antisemitism after Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel. The Hudson Valley deserves balanced programming, not biased curation driven by anti-Israel."
