Ben Davis, a Minnesota state legislator, posted a series of tweets in early October 2025 expressing criticism of Democratic policy proposals and concerns over legislative actions.

On October 1, 2025, Davis wrote, "The DEMOcrat solution is to take away law-abiding citizens unalienable rights for the actions done by sick criminals. I won't have it. Neither will my colleagues. We have ACTUAL solutions. They have their political agenda." In this statement, Davis argued that Democratic lawmakers were targeting constitutional rights in response to criminal acts, asserting his opposition and that of his colleagues.

Later the same day, he added another comment on the legislative process: "They don't have the votes (even amongst Democrats in the Senate) but yes, let's pretend. What would they do?" This tweet suggested skepticism about whether proposed legislation had sufficient support to advance within the Senate.

On October 3, 2025, Davis commented on media coverage related to fraud: "Please watch. They didn't even get to the fraud. That would need a documentary on its own." He implied that fraudulent activity was not fully addressed in available coverage and warranted further investigation.

As a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, Ben Davis has frequently voiced positions opposing gun control measures and other policies he perceives as infringing upon constitutional rights. His statements reflect ongoing debates within state legislatures about balancing public safety with individual freedoms.
