On September 8, Maddock criticized certain members of the judiciary in a post stating: "NOTHING is more dangerous to the general welfare and safety of a community than leftist bleeding heart communist judges."

Later that day, he responded to claims regarding law enforcement funding. On September 9, Maddock wrote: "Don’t believe the lies from the left they say we want to cut Troopers. We even give them a 20% pay raise." This statement comes amid ongoing debates about police budgets at both state and national levels.

In another post on September 9, Maddock commented on government support for the arts: "Real art does not need tax dollars to survive." The role of public funding in supporting cultural initiatives has been a recurring issue in legislative discussions across various states.
