Matt Maddock, Michigan State Representative for 51st District | Michigan House Republicans
Matt Maddock, a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives, posted a series of tweets on July 20, 2025, criticizing Democratic policies and motives. In his posts, Maddock accused Democrats of targeting farmers and manipulating welfare systems.
In one tweet from July 20, 2025, Maddock wrote: "Democrats hate farmers. They even want to stop farmers from using 100% organic manure on their crops. All in the name of their green scam religion."
Shortly after, he added another post stating: "Communist Dems are using Cloward-Piven to give welfare to illegals to crash the entire system for the ppl who need it most." The Cloward-Piven strategy refers to a political theory developed in the 1960s that proposed overloading public welfare systems as a means to bring about policy change.
A third tweet followed on the same day: "Another Democrat scam to funnel money to their Democrat scammers."
Maddock has been known for making strong statements regarding Democratic policies and often uses social media platforms to express his views. As a state legislator representing Michigan's 51st district, he has focused on issues related to agriculture and government spending.
