Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is an enigma in the GOP.
She had long been considered anti-Trump and RINO until she had a change of heart on Trump, and now the party loves her.
But the fact is she said some very negative things about Trump in the past, and when she was reminded of them, she went ballistic.
But You Said It
One of the reasons I was against Senator JD Vance (R-OH) being put on the ticket was because of all the negative things he said about Trump during the 2016 cycle.
Well, Stefanik has a similar past, and I can remember conservatives being outraged when she was promoted to her current leadership position in the House.
Now Stefanik is all-in on Trump, but that was not always the case.
A New York Times piece that was published quoting friends of Stefanik who gave up the tapes on comments she made in private about Trump, such as calling him a “whack job.”
Shannon Bream brought this up during their interview, and Stefanik went ballistic, stating, “It’s a disgrace you would quote the New York Times with nameless, faceless false sources.”
When Bream stated that the piece was quoting her friends, Stefanik fired back, “No no no… Shannon, Shannon, they’re not quoting my friends. Those names are not included because they are false smears.”
When Bream asked her if she was misquoted, Stefanik started to spin, stating, “I said the statements that that Democrats leaked out in 2016 that that was insulting, Shannon.
“However, I stood by and supported him, and I strongly support him.”
Here is the back and forth, and Stefanik is clearly losing it toward the end of this interview…

Notice she did not deny having said those insults.
Stefanik, to me, is part of the problem in the GOP. She is part of this failed leadership team that has been in place that has cost Republicans in 2020, 2022, and 2023.
Stefanik is just another grifter attaching herself to Trump for one reason and one reason only… she needs to go.
