Rep. Eli Crane, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 2nd district since 2023, recently shared his views on several pressing issues through social media posts. His statements address topics ranging from legal matters involving Mexico and Smith & Wesson to immigration policies and political strategies within the GOP.

On November 19, 2024, Rep. Crane expressed his opinion regarding a legal case involving Mexico and Smith & Wesson. He stated that "SCOTUS must dismiss Mexico v Smith & Wesson." He accused Mexico of attempting to "gaslight US businesses instead of taking responsibility for groveling to the cartels." Additionally, he appreciated what he described as a heckler for highlighting ignorance surrounding the Constitution, often used to target Second Amendment rights.

Later that day, at 20:41 UTC, Rep. Crane commented on state governance in relation to deportations. He remarked that "Blue state governors & mayors don’t have to collaborate with upcoming deportations, but they CANNOT obstruct." Specifically criticizing Governor Katie Hobbs, he claimed she was ignoring both the harms of an open border and Arizonans' demands for security.

In another post on November 19 at 21:37 UTC, Rep. Crane addressed fellow GOP Senators about political dynamics following Donald Trump's presidency. He asserted that "The game has changed, the landscape has changed, and the American people gave @realDonaldTrump a massive mandate." Warning against blocking President Trump’s agenda, he noted support from influential figures like Elon Musk willing to participate in primaries.
