Later the same day, he commented on presidential service, writing, “A discharge from the president’s service is in order. @PatrickByrne @GenFlynn”
On October 5, 2025, Finchem addressed what he described as issues of justice and retribution involving former President Trump: “But the left doesn’t understand this is not retribution, this is justice, it is the very justice that they themselves defined when they attempted to engage in a coup against president trump that has now been revealed. @DC_Draino @GenFlynn @Real_RobN @realLizUSA”
Finchem was elected to the Arizona State Senate in 2025 after replacing Ken Bennett as senator for the state’s 1st district.
