Rep. Frank Pallone, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 6th district, has recently shared several statements on social media addressing political and international issues. His posts reflect his ongoing commitment to accountability and human rights.

On November 20, 2024, Rep. Pallone paid tribute to his late colleague Bill Pascrell via social media. In his post, he acknowledged Pascrell's efforts as a member of the Ways and Means Committee, stating: "Tonight, the @WaysMeansCmte paid tribute to my late friend @BillPascrell. As a member of the committee, he championed the fight to obtain Trump’s tax returns and ensured the Oversight Subcommittee was a force for accountability. His fiery spirit is profoundly missed."

The following day, on November 21, 2024, Pallone posted a brief comment in response to an unspecified topic or event: "Of course he won't." The context of this statement remains unclear from the tweet alone.

Later that same day, Pallone addressed international human rights concerns involving Armenia and Artsakh. He responded to criticism from an Azerbaijani official with a firm stance on defending human rights: "The Azerbaijani 'Ombudsperson' is upset because I stood up for Armenia and the people of Artsakh. Let me be clear: defending human rights & peace isn’t 'meddling'—it’s doing what’s right. Respecting international law means calling out ethnic cleansing."
