Far-right
Republican MAGA
extremist member of
the U.S. House,
representing
Arizona's 2nd
Congressional
District. He assumed
office on January 3,
2023. His current
term ends on January
3, 2025. Crane ran
for election to the
U.S. House to
represent Arizona's
2nd Congressional
District. He won in
the general election
on November 8, 2022.
“Congressional
newbie
Rep.
Eli
Crane
(R-AZ)
got
called
out on
the
House
floor on
Thursday
for
using
the term
“colored
people”
during a
heated
debate
over his
proposed
amendment
to the
national
defense
bill.
A
member
of the
far-right
House
Freedom
Caucus,
Crane
had put
forward
an
amendment
that
would
prohibit
the
consideration
of
“race,
gender,
religion,
or
political
affiliations,
or any
other
ideological
concepts
as the
sole
basis
for
recruitment,
training
education,
promotion,
or
retention
decisions.”
“My
amendment
has
nothing
to do
with
whether
or not
colored
people,
or Black
people,
or
anyone
can
serve,
okay?”
Crane
said as
Rep.
Joyce
Beatty
(D-OH),
a Black
woman,
tried to
object.
“It has
nothing
to do
with
[the]
color of
your
skin,
any of
that
stuff.
What we
want to
preserve
and
maintain
is the
fact
that our
military
does not
become a
social
experiment.””
"A
special
committee
created
by the
Arizona
legislature
to
examine
the
state’s
response
to
COVID-19
will
feature
a litany
of
speakers
who have
spread
disinformation
about
the
pandemic,
vaccines,
spoken
at QAnon
events
and have
conspiratorial
beliefs
about
the
virus,
including
believing
it will
usher in
the
“mark of
the
beast.”"

"The
“Novel
Coronavirus
Southwestern
Intergovernmental
Committee”
will
hold two
days of
hearings
on May
25 and
May 26
at the
Arizona
Capitol,
during
which a
string
of
ostensible
experts
will
tell the
state
and
federal
Republican
lawmakers
on the
panel
their
opinions
on the
pandemic,
and
Arizona’s
response
to it.
The
Republican
elected
officials
on the
panel
include
state
Sens.
T.J.
Shope
and
Janae
Shamp,
the
chair
and
vice-chair,
respectively,
of the
state
Senate’s
Health
and
Human
Services
Committee;
state
Rep.
Steve
Montenegro,
who
chairs
the
state
House of
Representatives’
Health
and
Human
Services
Committee;
and U.S.
Reps.
Andy
Biggs,
Eli
Crane
and
Paul
Gosar."

"Extremist
researchers
on
Twitter
were
quick to
note
that the
various
groups
sponsoring
the
committee
had
begun
promoting
it by
the
acronym,
NCSWIC,
which is
commonly
used
within
the
QAnon
community
to stand
for
“Nothing
Can Stop
What Is
Coming.”
It most
often
refers
to an
unfounded
belief
that
“Deep
State”
collaborators
will
soon be
arrested."
The video posted
by Eli Crane (still frame above) was from
the southern Mexican border in 2022. NOT the
U.S. border in May 2023 as he implies.
"Rep. Eli Crane,
R-Ariz., announced
in a video released
last week he was a
cosponsor of the WHO
Withdrawal Act. The
bill, introduced by
fellow Rep.
Andy Biggs,
would compel
President Biden to
cut ties with the
World Health
Organization. [...]
"Rep.
Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.,
was one of the
original cosponsors
to the legislation
in 2022 when Biggs
sponsored the bill.
Beginning with his
opposition to the
speakership of Rep.
Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.,
Crane has joined
Biggs and Gosar to
form the far right
wing of Arizona's
congressional
delegation.
The three
representatives have
focused much of
their attention on
COVID-19, including
calling for
investigating the
U.S.'s response to
Coronavirus and
Anthony Fauci, the
former head of
director of the
National Institute
of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases
who coordinated the
country's COVID-19
efforts."

"In
February, the
freshman Rep. Eli
Crane of Arizona
sent out a
fundraising email
that highlighted the
vote and suggested
the Biden
administration’s
plans to beef up the
IRS were now on
hold. “We’ve already
accomplished so much
in this Congress,
including suspending
outlandish funding
for 87,000 IRS
agents,” Crane
said."

"Eli Crane, a
Republican candidate for Arizona's 2nd
Congressional District, posted on Instagram
in December 2020 that he opposed a
bipartisan pandemic relief compromise,
specifically noting some line items he did
not think should be included. He wrote: "27
Trillion in debt. This is the type of wreckless [sic] behavior that got us here in
the first place. Coming in dead last are the
American People. The collective sell out of
America continues... Best part is, who do
you think pays for this in the end? How long
will the dollar hold it's [sic] value as we
continue printing money we don't have?"

"Before former Navy
SEAL Eli Crane was
pushing Arizonans to
vote for Senator
Marthy McSally in a
new campaign ad,
he
was busy defending waterboarding and
veterans who commit
war crimes. [...]
What the ad doesn't
mention is the fact
that Crane, who
makes occasional
appearances on Fox

variety of
controversial
opinions, from
defending other
veterans accused of
heinous war crimes
to seemingly
dismissing the
public health threat
posed by the
