Rep. Elise Stefanik: The East Coast needs a missile defense post
by Rep. Elise Stefanik | Jan 25, 2018, 12:01 AM
North Korea's rapidly improving missile technology capabilities have alarmed Americans. As Kim Jong Un continues to demonstrate his dangerous commitment to advancing his nuclear weapons capabilities and missile program, U.S. policymakers must ensure that our entire nation is protected – including the tens of millions of Americans living along the East Coast.
In November, North Korea launched the Hwasong-15 ICBM over the Sea of Japan. The missile reached the highest altitude ever recorded by a North Korean missile, flying 2,800 miles into the sky before landing off the coast of Japan. The test proves North Korea's ability to successfully target the whole of the continental U.S., and according to Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, its ability to hit "everywhere in the world, basically."

Rep. Elise Stefanik is bringing this topic up for discussion, when no others are talking about it.
She is best remembered for the following: (catching Comey in a lie)
It Took a Freshman GOP Congresswoman To Pull The Mask From FBI Director Comey…
With the statement that such counter-intel notifications happen “generally quarterly”, and against the backdrop that Comey stated in July of 2016 a counter-intel investigation began, Stefanik asks:
…”when did you notify the White House, the DNI and congressional leadership”?
BOOM! Watch an extremely uncomfortable Director James Comey outright LIE… by claiming there was no active DNI -which is entirely false- James Clapper was Obama’s DNI.

Watch it again.
Watch that first 3:00 minutes again. Ending with:
…”Because of the sensitivity of the matter” ~ James Comey
Director Comey intentionally obfuscates knowledge of the question from Rep Stefanik; using parseltongue verbiage to get himself away from the sunlit timeline.
The counter-intel investigation, by his own admission, began in July 2016. Congress was not notified until March 2017. That’s an eight month period – Obviously obfuscating the quarterly claim moments earlier.
Well you’d be damned wrong.
She’s a 33 year-old Harvard grad, Republican, and the only one in the Comey hearing to ask the right frickin’ question!
Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlXXZQgh72Y
She nails Comey’s balls to the floor, now he’s confirmed that he failed to do his job and rather than own up to it, he blamed “he who must not be named” aka Bill Preistap.
They’re all going to prison and Rep. Stefanik is one reason why.
She deserved a whole damn airforce base for her district, not just some measly rockets.
Great minds ;-)
Why are FReepers so uninformed?
Huh?
Democrats don’t believe in Missile Defense.
They think it’s a waste of money that upsets our Enemies.
Rep. Elise Stefanik is definitely one to watch in the future!
North Korea is the least of the exposure to the East.
A couple of sub launched cruise missiles would ruin the day in most east coast cities.
If you’ve ever been up by Fort Drum (near Watertown NY), you’d realize there isn’t much else there at all. NY already lost some bases, and the economic impact was tangible: Plattsburgh in particular was hurt by the closing of the Air Force base there.
On a related note, one of the Woodstock anniversary concerts that descended into mayhem was held on a former base (Griffiss?) in NY; people were being gouged for water and there was little shade (because it had been an air force base - lots of open space).
She voted against the tax cuts. All you need to know.
I corrected myself. Thanks.
Elise is top shelf. I wish there were more like her.
Where are all of the “Starwars” naysayers now?
