Her comments reflect her stance on maintaining pressure in the political arena, defending social security recipients, and critiquing influential figures in government spending.
On February 13, 2025, Rep. Balint tweeted: "Litigate. Legislate. Agitate. Activate. Let’s keep the pressure on." This tweet emphasizes her commitment to active engagement in legislative processes and political activism.
Later that day, she addressed perceptions surrounding Social Security and Medicaid recipients by stating: "I don't think that my parents, because they're on Social Security, are parasites. I don't think my neighbor who is on Medicaid is a parasite." She further urged Republicans to reconsider their stance with the remark: "I need Republicans to get right with themselves."
On February 14, 2025, Rep. Balint expressed concerns about Elon Musk's involvement in government financial matters with the statement: "Elon Musk is not a disinterested actor when it comes to our nation’s budget. He has tens of billions of dollars wrapped up in contracts and subsidies." She questioned his motives by declaring that any notion of altruism in his actions was "pure fantasy."
