Matt Maddock, a Republican state representative from Michigan, made several statements on his Twitter account in mid-February 2026 criticizing Democrats and universities.
On February 16, 2026, Maddock posted: “Just so everyone knows, the democrats are all in for foreign land ownership. They refuse to move our bills. They hate Michigan.”
The following day, on February 17, he wrote: “Most universities are socialist states today.”
Later that same day, Maddock tweeted: “These communists are brutal and will do anything to create chaos.”
Maddock is known for his outspoken conservative views and frequent criticism of Democratic lawmakers. He has previously sponsored legislation aimed at restricting foreign ownership of agricultural land in Michigan and has been vocal about his opposition to what he describes as left-leaning policies in higher education institutions.
