Senator Aric Nesbitt has been vocal on social media, addressing several political issues and expressing his stance on various matters. Through a series of tweets, Nesbitt criticizes certain policies and positions taken by political figures and parties.

On June 9, 2025, Senator Nesbitt tweeted "While Gretchen Whitmer and Jocelyn Benson stand with illegals and rioters, I'll be standing with ICE and the rule of law." This statement highlights his opposition to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's approach to immigration and law enforcement.

In another tweet posted later that day at 14:33 UTC, he criticized the state's Democratic leadership. He stated "Lansing Democrats are currently trying to copy and paste the same far left policies that destroyed California into our next budget. We aren't going along with it." This reflects his disapproval of the proposed state budget changes which he associates with failed policies from California.

Further expressing his views on national security, Senator Nesbitt questioned the student visa program in a tweet at 17:11 UTC. He wrote "How many of these 'students' do we need to catch working against our country for Democrats to admit we need to end the student visas?" Here, he calls into question the effectiveness of current student visa regulations amid concerns over national security.

These statements from Senator Nesbitt come amidst broader discussions regarding immigration policy, state budget allocations, and national security measures within Michigan's political landscape.
