Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 5th District, has recently shared a series of tweets addressing various national issues. Born in Waxahachie, Texas in 1944 and now residing in Kansas City, Cleaver has been an active voice since his election to Congress in 2005.
On May 15, 2025, Cleaver highlighted the historical significance of the Quindaro Townsite by stating that it is "a vital piece of U.S. history that demonstrates our national commitment to liberty and self-determination," emphasizing its importance for future generations. He mentioned his collaboration with other representatives like Derek Schmidt and Davids in calling upon the National Park Service to take action on this matter ("The Quindaro Townsite is a vital piece...").
In another tweet on May 16, 2025, Cleaver addressed a personal tragedy involving Adriana Smith, who is brain dead while her family endures watching her body being kept alive due to Georgia's abortion laws. He stated that "Adriana deserves dignity and her family deserves compassion," critiquing what he described as state-mandated torment ("Adriana Smith is brain dead...").
Later that same day, Cleaver criticized Secretary Noem's proposal regarding border management. He accused her of attempting to turn the situation into a reality show and labeled it a "disgraceful stunt" that demeans both her office and the nation itself ("Secretary Noem wants to turn the border...").
Emanuel Cleaver graduated from Prairie View A&M University in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science degree.
