Senator Aric Nesbitt, a Republican member of the Michigan State Senate, made several statements on October 14, 2025, via his official social media account, addressing actions by Senate Democrats and issues at the U.S. border.

In a post published at 16:25 UTC, Nesbitt wrote, "Make no mistake, Senate Democrats are endorsing political violence and domestic terrorism."

Later that day at 17:52 UTC, he commented on border security, stating, "The days of narcoterrorists running our border are OVER. If you try to smuggle poison into our country, don’t be surprised when you get blown out of the water."

At 20:52 UTC on the same day, Nesbitt compared actions by President Trump and Democratic lawmakers in Lansing regarding Charlie Kirk, saying, "While President Trump is honoring Charlie Kirk today, Democrats in Lansing were busy blocking a resolution to honor him and condemn political violence. They’ve abandoned all basic decency."

Nesbitt's statements reference ongoing partisan disputes in Michigan's state legislature and national debates over border policy. The comments about narcoterrorists and smuggling reflect persistent concerns about drug trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border and efforts by lawmakers to address these issues. Additionally, debates around honoring political figures like Charlie Kirk have been contentious in several state legislatures.

Senator Aric Nesbitt has served in various leadership roles within the Michigan Senate and is known for his vocal positions on public safety and legislative matters.
