Burlington Standard

Representative Becca Balint, currently serving as the U.S. Congress member for Vermont's at-large district, has used the platform X to express her views on various issues. Serving since 2023, Balint has a background in the Vermont Senate and brings her experience to national discussions. Born in Heidelberg, West Germany, and currently residing in Brattleboro, Balint's journey has included an education from Smith College.

On March 26, 2025, Becca Balint called for the resignation of Pete Hegseth. "Pete Hegseth must resign."

A subsequent post on March 27, 2025, reflected Balint's thoughts on national values, drawing a distinction between action and submission. "To take a knee is to say, I love my country and we have much more work to do. To bend the knee is to capitulate, to cower, and to give in. There are no kings in America."

Later that day on March 27, 2025, Balint addressed the Democratic Party, urging a departure from adherence to outdated protocols in favor of vigorous advocacy for their policies. "Democrats, we are in a wake-up call moment. We can’t keep clinging to arbitrary rules that only we follow. Americans are begging us to take off the gloves, throw some elbows, and fight for our ideas and policies that we know are more popular and actually alleviate suffering."
