Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 2nd district since 2019, shared his thoughts on recent international and domestic issues through a series of tweets. Crenshaw, who was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1984 and currently resides in Humble, Texas, addressed concerns ranging from false alarms about explosives to the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
On September 18, 2024, Crenshaw posted that “Looks like claims of explosives were unfounded. Thank God.” He emphasized that despite the lack of actual explosives, the underlying message remains important.
Later that day, at 20:49 UTC, he tweeted about an unusual incident involving Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon. He noted that “hundreds of pagers and over 30 hand-held radios belonging to Hezbollah operatives have mysteriously exploded over the past few days in Lebanon.” He described Hezbollah as an “Iran-backed terrorist organization” with significant political influence in Lebanon.
In another tweet on the same day at 23:05 UTC, Crenshaw highlighted the issue of Mexican cartels profiting from the fentanyl crisis. He stated that “The Mexican cartels are cashing in on the deadly fentanyl crisis” and called for action against them by targeting their financial resources and armories.
