Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, posted a series of tweets on August 5 and 6, 2025, expressing strong opinions about political opponents, air quality debates, and the role of major banks.
On August 5, Maddock commented on former President Donald Trump’s approach to criticism: "Trump hits back 100 times harder."
The following day, Maddock addressed discussions around air quality and environmental policy. In his post from August 6 he stated: "The kommies and dems are silent on Canadian air because their entire air quality scam is about shutting down industry not forest fires."
Later that same day, Maddock wrote about financial institutions: "Big banks are all Democrat and communist governent agent spies."
Maddock has previously been known for his outspoken views as a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives. His social media activity often draws attention due to its confrontational tone and focus on issues such as government regulation and environmental policy. Debates over North American air quality have intensified in recent years following large-scale wildfires in Canada that affected much of the Midwest and Northeast United States; these events have sparked disputes between those emphasizing industrial regulation versus natural causes for pollution.
