Rep. Eli Crane, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona’s 2nd district since 2023, posted several statements on his social media account over the weekend, addressing topics including Antifa and participation in women’s sports.
On March 14, 2026, Crane questioned the existence of Antifa with the statement: “But the left says Antifa isn’t real?!?”
The following day, March 15, he commented on gender and athletic competition: “Men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports. This is not complicated. Unless you’re an elected democrat, I guess.”
Later that same day, Crane posted another message: “Rules for thee but not for me”
Crane has represented Arizona’s 2nd District in Congress since replacing Tom O’Halleran in 2023. Born in Tucson in 1980, Crane currently resides in Oro Valley.
