Rep. Marlin Stutzman, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Indiana, posted a series of statements on his X (formerly Twitter) account addressing recent events in Israel and ongoing issues in Congress.
On October 7, 2025, Stutzman referenced the anniversary of the Hamas attack in Israel, stating, "Two years ago today, Hamas horrifically attacked and murdered over a thousand people in Israel, the most deadly attack against the Jewish people since the holocaust. America stands firmly with Israel, mourning the lives lost and urgently demanding the immediate safe return of https://t.co/luCLYKtcjF".
Later that day, he commented on the status of a government shutdown with, "Today marks day 6 7? Of the shutdown. My social media team is ready for this to be over… https://t.co/voYOnrs20n".
On October 8, 2025, Stutzman expressed support for Speaker Mike Johnson and military personnel, writing, "I stand with @SpeakerJohnson. Our troops never take a day off from defending our freedoms. There is ZERO reasoning behind not paying them during a shutdown. https://t.co/iVbNwn9SoL".
Stutzman's remarks about the Hamas attack reference the events of October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants launched a large-scale assault on Israel, resulting in significant casualties and drawing international condemnation. The attack has been widely reported as the deadliest single-day attack against Jews since the Holocaust. The ongoing government shutdown mentioned by Stutzman reflects a recurring challenge in U.S. politics, where disagreements over federal funding can lead to temporary halts in government operations, including potential impacts on military pay and federal services.
