Carlos A. Gimenez, a U.S. Congressman representing Florida's 28th district, has recently expressed strong opinions on social media regarding the political situation in Colombia. On January 26, 2025, he posted a series of tweets criticizing Colombian President Gustavo Petro and advocating for alternative leadership.

In his first tweet at 21:10 UTC, Gimenez criticized President Gustavo Petro by stating that "President Gustavo Petro has made an absolute FOOL of himself on the international stage." He further added that "The people of #Colombia deserve way better than the Marxist guerrilla terrorist who is leading their country into the abyss!" and suggested that Colombia needs someone like @JMilei or a new Uribe.

Four minutes later, at 21:14 UTC, Gimenez reiterated his stance in Spanish. He stated that "Petro ha hecho el ridículo a nivel internacional y su patético accionar le ha salido bien caro." He continued to argue that "El pueblo de #Colombia merece mucha mejor representación que la que les da el marxista Petro," emphasizing the need for leaders like @JMilei and @AlvaroUribeVel.

Later at 21:49 UTC, Gimenez tweeted about recent developments in Colombia. He claimed that "Following today’s pathetic decision by socialist President @petrogustavo, the Colombian people are organizing massive protests demanding his ouster!"
