Senator Mike Crapo, a Republican representing Idaho in the U.S. Senate, posted several statements on his official Twitter account on September 10, 2025. The tweets addressed topics ranging from an endorsement of a prominent tax lawyer to a condemnation of political violence.
In a tweet published at 17:15 UTC, Senator Crapo expressed support for Mr. Korb’s professional qualifications and integrity: “Mr. Korb is among the most highly respected tax lawyers in the country and most suited for this role, having served as Chief Counsel from 2004 to 2008.
I trust that his integrity and judgment will lead him to focus on how best to serve the American taxpayer, fairly enforce the https://t.co/3EMgsPr1bQ“.
Later that day, at 19:10 UTC, Senator Crapo commented on recent events involving Charlie Kirk by stating: “I’m praying for Charlie Kirk. Political violence is vile and reprehensible and has no place in our society.”
A subsequent post at 21:20 UTC contained only a link: “https://t.co/KCOkjBIKaW”.
Senator Crapo has served Idaho in the U.S. Senate since 1999 and currently holds significant influence over financial legislation as Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee. His comments regarding Mr. Korb refer to Donald L. Korb, who previously served as Chief Counsel for the Internal Revenue Service between 2004 and 2008—a period marked by efforts to modernize IRS operations and enhance enforcement strategies.
The senator’s remarks about political violence come amid ongoing national discussions about civility in public discourse following high-profile incidents involving political figures such as Charlie Kirk.
