Rep. Scott Peters, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 50th district, has shared his thoughts on recent developments through a series of tweets. His comments touch upon issues ranging from allegations against public figures to international diplomacy.

On November 25, 2024, Rep. Peters reacted to a report by NPR concerning sex abuse allegations against Pete Hegseth. He expressed concern over the matter and criticized Republican Congress members for their perceived indifference, referencing their support for Donald Trump as their nominee who eventually won the election. "Just heard an @NPR report about sex abuse allegations against Pete Hegseth. It was deeply troubling, but we’ve learned Republican Congressmembers don’t care. They “grabbed” Trump to be their nominee, and he won the election."

In another tweet dated November 26, 2024, Rep. Peters acknowledged President Trump's role in the success of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). He warned that any changes could lead to economic challenges and increased prices for Americans. "To President Trump’s credit, USMCA has been a great success. This would be an economic disaster and raise prices for Americans bigly!"

Later on November 26, 2024, Rep. Peters commented on a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel brokered by the Biden Administration. He emphasized the significance of diplomatic efforts in achieving regional stability and hoped it would pave the way for further peace initiatives and the return of hostages."Today's announced ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, which was negotiated by the Biden Admin, is a testament to the importance of the diplomatic process."
