NY POST ^

New York Rep. Elise Stefanik has accepted President-elect Donald Trump’s offer to be his enforcer as United Nations ambassador, The Post can reveal.

The 40-year-old upstate Republican, who helped force out two Ivy League presidents with her sharp questioning on campus antisemitism, will the lead Trump’s “America first” and pro-Israel message in Turtle Bay.

“I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump, 78, said in a statement to The Post Sunday night.

**I mean I really don’t care that much who we send to the UN. It’s a worthless organization full of snakes and enemies. Find some pit bull who can follow instructions and be done with it.**

Daniel P. Moynahan. Remember him? He was on the world stage every time he spoke. Took on our enemies. A democrat who worked for Ford. This position is a stepping stone to a bright future for her. Teach all the US women about all of the excrement going on in the world by societies that are worse than us-all of them run by men. They just may end up being as thankful as Brittney Greiner.

It’s not just her seat. She’s the 3rd or 4th ranking Republican in the House. This makes no sense.

I just got her as my Congresswoman because they’d recently assigned my city to her district. I voted for her for the first time last week, and she’s already moving on. I don’t want some weak-kneed Rino replacing her. She has a big district and received 62% of the vote last week, but it will need a strong MAGA candidate to get me to vote for whoever takes her place. I won’t vote for a Rino.

"Too bad that the democrats will effectively control congress."

They do that anyway even when Republicans have the majority. That's because most Congressional Republicans are gutless wonders.

Why not just get the hell out of the UN...that corrupt organization has cost us blood and treasure for too long.

I WOULD PREFER THAT SHE GOES TO THE UN & GIVES THEM AN EVICTION NOTICE FOR THE PROPERTY IN NYC. 30 DAYS-—and OUT.

AS a FAVOR to TRUMP and that she KEEPS HER CONGRESSIONAL SET.

I think that as well.

What would it entail though? How would it look? Hypothetically?

It would be done on the international stage I imagine. Might need an ambassador.

Would allies help? Same requirement.

I don't know, I don't think we can serve the world eviction notice without arguing in front of them why we believe it to be antiquated. Same can be said for other entangling alliances that made need revisiting.

You don't just plan on taking the keys I hope.

On the positive side, if she could do that quickly we could make her ambassador to Russia. Once the war is over of course.

“UN. It’s a worthless organization full of snakes and enemies.”

Yes. Elise’s talents will be wasted there.

“Reading FR, you’d come away convinced Trump is the biggest idiot on the planet and has not even considered replacements for people he appoints who presently are in Congress.”

Third, behind Biden and Harris, but looking to beat one of them yet again.

This country is about two seats in the House away from circling the drain.

And Trump wants to risk one seat?

Elsie’s had the seat for 10 years. Pretty solid gop so hopefully we’ll keep it. Green Party got 10% one year. I still say we should give more support to the greens. It’s bang for the buck.

Seems a waste of a good congress critter. All we need in a UN Ambassador is someone with a closed checkbook and an eviction notice.

“Elon Musk is assisting Trump, trust me they would NOT have gone with picking someone in congress unless they were sure her district will not go blue”

Elise won her district 62% to 38%

I just voted for her too, well I suppose it’s an honor knowing that she’s going to serve the big guy.
