On November 25, at 14:00 UTC, Gooden criticized President Joe Biden's leadership by stating that "America already has a leader who targeted political opponents."

Later that day at 17:55 UTC, Gooden addressed immigration concerns by noting that "1.4 million illegal aliens currently have deportation orders" with only "13,000 of them remain behind bars." He alleged that "The Biden Administration is willfully harboring illegal aliens and putting the safety of every American at risk!" This statement is available here.

At 21:25 UTC, Gooden suggested that for every liberal leaving the United States following President Trump's election victory, they should take an illegal alien with them. The original post can be viewed here.
