Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, shared several opinions on his X (formerly Twitter) account in mid-August 2025, focusing on government spending and cultural issues.
On August 15, 2025, Maddock expressed criticism of government grants, stating: "Same thing with “grants”. Every Grant is tax dollars. The left is genius at changing names of our Tax Dollars."
Later that day, he commented on the use of public funds for art projects associated with progressive activism. In his post, Maddock wrote: "These are leftist with ugly ideas making ugly art and BTW radical left activism is not art and taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for it." The message included a link to an external site.
On August 16, 2025, Maddock offered a critical perspective on attitudes toward the United States: "And America is the only nation that ppl hate and won’t leave."
Maddock has been known for voicing strong opinions regarding government expenditures and social issues. As a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives, he frequently addresses topics such as taxation and the role of public funding in culture and activism.
