Eli Crane, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona’s 2nd district since 2023, has been vocal on social media regarding recent events and issues. Born in Tucson, Arizona in 1980 and currently residing in Oro Valley, Crane shared his thoughts through a series of tweets.
On February 21, 2025, Rep. Eli Crane expressed gratitude towards law enforcement officials for their efforts in an operation. He described the situation as "sickening." "Grateful to all of the law enforcement officials that made this operation happen."
Later that day, he commented on the ongoing conflict involving Hamas. Crane emphasized a strong moral stance against the group’s actions, stating: "If you woke up today, or really any day, unwilling to condemn Hamas for their barbaric actions…there might be something wrong with you." He framed it as a battle between good and evil.
In another tweet on the same day, Crane criticized previous bipartisan efforts regarding border security. He referred to these efforts as unnecessary and suggested that past crises were deliberate. He expressed relief at current progress: "So to summarize, we didn’t need a 'bipartisan border deal.' It was all fake."
