Stefanik would be good.... but on her merits, not her sex. And it could only help with NY.

Stefanik gained national attention during the 2023 United States Congress hearing on antisemitism by the House Education and Workforce Committee, in which she asked pointed questions to the presidents of three major universities: Liz Magill of the University of Pennsylvania, Claudine Gay of Harvard University, and Sally Kornbluth of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In a viral line of questioning, Stefanik asked UPenn’s Magill, whether “calling for the genocide of Jewish people” constituted bullying or harassment. Magill responded that it was “context-dependent”, which drew criticism from Congressmen & UPenn donors; and eventually led to her resignation as UPenn’s president. Following the announcement, Stefanik tweeted “One down. Two to go.” During the hearing, when MIT president denied hearing any calls for genocide, Stefanik claimed that chants of “Intifada” (Arabic) are often considered as a “call for the genocide” by the Jewish people.

The hearings were held in the wake of several anti-Israel protests at university campuses following the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, and the presidents were criticized for failing to adequately condemn those attacks. In the hearing, Stefanik also had a tense exchange with Harvard’s president Gay over allegations of antisemitism at Harvard’s campus, asking her, “At Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules of bullying and harassment, yes or no?”, and Gay answered, “It can be, depending on the context.”

Stefanik criticized Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, saying it was “misguided” and “harms the ongoing effort to fight climate change, while also isolating us from our allies”.

Stefanik opposed Trump’s 2017 executive order imposing a temporary ban on travel and immigration to the United States by nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries.

On December 19, 2017, Stefanik voted against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. In a December 18 Facebook post, she wrote, “The final bill does not adequately protect the state and local tax deduction that so many in our district and across New York rely on ... New York is one of the highest taxed states in the country, and families here rely on this important deduction to make ends meet.”
