Later, at 2:47 PM UTC, Babin posted a more politically charged message regarding education policy. He remarked, "This is the line in the sand. Protect students or lose your funding." This statement underscored his position on the prioritization of student safety in schools.

Another tweet at 4:55 PM UTC reflected Babin’s political views on national issues. He asserted, "DEMOCRATS’ AMERICA: •MS-13 thugs over American families •Ivy League elites over working-class patriots •Men in women’s sports ignoring basic biology. It’s not compassion. It’s chaos. And it’s why we’re fighting like heck to regain sanity and take our country back." This statement reveals his criticism of current policies and intentions of pursuing change.
