Rep. Marlin Stutzman, a political figure known for his vocal opinions on international relations and domestic policies, shared several statements on social media on June 17, 2025. These posts addressed topics ranging from Middle Eastern geopolitics to U.S. legislative developments in digital currency.
In one post made at 18:38 UTC, Rep. Stutzman expressed frustration with journalists who criticize Israel's actions against Iran's nuclear program. He stated, "I get tired of these journalists saying ‘it is just unnecessary for Israel to be attacking Iran.’ If they had a nuclear bomb, that would be a disaster." He further suggested that not only Israel but also Saudi Arabia should actively oppose Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Later that day at 21:27 UTC, Rep. Stutzman commented on the recent passage of the GENIUS Act by the Senate. He noted, "With the passing of the GENIUS Act today, the Senate has put our nation in the driver’s seat when it comes to payment stablecoin." The representative expressed eagerness to continue working on this legislation as part of efforts to establish U.S. leadership in digital finance.
In another statement posted at 21:52 UTC, he criticized what he described as failed leftist policies while advocating for strong national borders and favorable trade deals. His remarks included, "If being the worst in the world means strong borders, peace through strength, and not getting ripped off on trade deals--sign me up!" He concluded by asserting that Americans are weary of policies he considers detrimental.
The GENIUS Act mentioned by Rep. Stutzman is an initiative aimed at advancing regulatory frameworks around stablecoins in order to maintain U.S.'s competitive edge in global digital economies.
