Rep. Bob Donovan, a public figure known for his engagement on social media, recently shared a series of tweets covering topics from criminal behavior to legislative efforts and historical reflections.

On June 4, 2025, Rep. Donovan expressed skepticism about the intelligence of criminals with a rhetorical question: "Can criminals get any dumber?" The tweet did not provide further context or examples.

The following day, June 5, 2025, he addressed issues facing law enforcement agencies. He stated his commitment to supporting police departments by ensuring they have necessary resources: "I will always fight for law enforcement to have the resources they need." He acknowledged staffing challenges in small police departments and mentioned authoring legislation aimed at assisting these departments in recruiting and training officers.

On June 6, 2025, Rep. Donovan shared a quote from General Dwight D. Eisenhower as part of a historical reflection: "'You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade... The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.'" This quote is famously associated with Eisenhower's address to Allied forces prior to the D-Day invasion during World War II.
