Rep. Eli Crane, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 2nd district since 2023, shared a series of tweets on December 6, 2024, addressing issues ranging from government efficiency to military reform. Crane's statements reflect his perspectives on federal governance and national security.
On December 6, 2024, Rep. Eli Crane expressed his views about discussions on reducing fraud, waste, and abuse within the federal government. He remarked that many individuals present at the meeting could become significant barriers to the success of DOGE but found hope in the involvement of "the richest man in the world." "Got to listen to these guys talk about their plans to slash fraud, waste and abuse from the federal government yesterday."
In another tweet posted later that day, Crane highlighted what he perceives as a lack of moral courage in Washington D.C., advocating for individuals like Kash Patel who possess the qualities needed to challenge established norms and reform organizations such as the FBI. He also extended gratitude towards Chanel Rion for featuring him. "The number one missing ingredient in Washington, D.C. is moral courage."
Further discussing military matters on December 6, 2024, Crane endorsed Pete Hegseth's potential role in eliminating what he terms a "woke agenda" within the military while focusing on enhancing its lethality. He noted Hegseth’s status as both a combat veteran and an outsider as factors unsettling to the Military Industrial Complex and urged Senate Republicans to acknowledge former President Donald Trump's mandate from America. ".@PeteHegseth will rid our military of the woke agenda."
