Arizona Rep. Crane says Walz, Harris are the opposite of 'peace through strength' in foreign policy

Congressman Eli Crane, R-Ariz., said Thursday that Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are the opposite of peace through strength when it comes to the military. 

"They're the exact opposite of peace through strength," he said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. 

From the failed Afghanistan withdrawal to flip-flopping on support for Israel amid its war with Hamas and leaving embassies under duress, many have criticized the administration for decisions that don't just impact Americans, but other countries. 

On Thursday, the Taliban reportedly held a military parade in Afghanistan, marking the three year anniversary of America's withdrawal. U.S. military equipment was left behind and could be seen in the parade.

"When we're leaving that type of equipment overseas in the hands of al Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban and all of these terrorist organizations that are bartering and selling amongst each other, all of us know that it's just going to be that much more dangerous for ourselves or our allies the next time we go back in there and have to do work in those regions," Crane said. 

He also discussed the controversy around CNN reporting that Walz allegedly lied about a DUI.

"I think it was CNN talking about how he lied about the DUI that he received, I think it was back in 2005," Crane said. His campaign said he hadn't been drinking when in fact, he admitted in the courtroom that he had been drinking and he blew way over the legal limit there."
