Later that same day, Mastriano used his platform to honor victims of religious violence. He wrote: “Today, February 15, we remember the 21 Coptic Martyrs who lost their lives in Libya in 2015. These men—20 Egyptian Coptic Christians and one Ghanaian Christian—were taken because of their faith. In their final moments, they stood firm, praying and proclaiming their belief. https://t.co/kUc5lXYawE” (posted on February 15, 2026).
