Congressman Pat Harrigan has recently shared his perspectives on national security, resource independence, and media developments through a series of posts on social media. His statements address classified military operations, U.S. reliance on foreign resources, and the advancement of conservative voices in mainstream media.
On July 14, 2025, Congressman Harrigan commented on a recent classified briefing regarding Operation Midnight Hammer in Iran. He stated: “After receiving the classified briefing on Operation Midnight Hammer in Iran, I left with one clear thought: I am proud to be an American. Our operators executed with precision, and @POTUS’s strategy ensured Iran felt the consequences.”
The following day, July 15, 2025, Harrigan addressed concerns about rare earth mineral supply chains and their implications for U.S. security. He wrote: “China controls 8 of the 9 rare earth refineries on Earth—a direct threat to American security and sovereignty. I’ve cosponsored @USRepGaryPalmer’s SAMS Act to break that dependence and secure the minerals we need to power @POTUS’s America First agenda.”
Later that same day, Harrigan congratulated members of a conservative podcast for advancing their platform within major news media. He posted: “Congrats to the @RuthlessPodcast fellas on signing with @FoxNews. After years of driving the conservative conversation from behind the scenes, they’re now front and center with one of the biggest platforms in media. Well deserved—and a smart move by Fox.”
Operation Midnight Hammer was a covert U.S.-led mission targeting Iranian military infrastructure as part of ongoing efforts to deter regional threats.
