ABC chief political analyst Matthew Dowd on Wednesday tweeted, then deleted an attack at Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) after she questioned witnesses during the House impeachment hearing.
"Elise stefanik is a perfect example of why just electing someone because they are a woman or a millennial doesn't necessarily get you the leaders we need," Dowd wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
Dowd's attack came minutes after Stefanik pointed out during a House Intelligence Committee hearing that although President Donald Trump threatened to remove aid from Ukraine, and asked Ukrainian officials to investigate the Biden family, neither of these things ever occurred.
Stefanik responded to the tweet, saying that she does not measure her "self-worth or professional work based on tweets from self-important @MSNBC commentators," and asking of Dowd, "Who is he again?"
Thx @RepMarkMeadows ! Its a good thing I wasnt raised to measure my self-worth or professional work based on tweets from self-important @MSNBC commentators like Dowd (who is he again?)! I earn support from #NY21 voters bc of my focus on keeping my promises & delivering #Results

Elise did a great job laying out the facts. And, not least of all, this comment is reprehensible.
After much criticism, Dowd tweeted an apology to Stefanik, claiming that his first tweet had been "misinterpreted."
Matthew Dowd
Hey @EliseStefanik I just want to apologize for a tweet that is being misinterpreted. I didnt mean to suggest you were elected only because you were a woman or a millennial. I deleted the tweet.
Dowd added that he will be "more careful in how I phrase my thoughts. Lesson learned."
Stefanik was also attacked earlier in the day by MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who wrote on Twitter that she is "drinking the same loony tune juice with her breakfast" as former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
"I am flattered that you are comparing me to NikkiHaley!" Stefanik wrote. "HUGE compliment! Instead of ever standing in front of voters as a candidate or putting your name on the ballot, you just keep attacking @gop women who have. Sad. Get outside of the @MSNBC bubble!"
This well known Trump nutter knows it .
Good work .
MATTHEW DOWD
Obviously he hates women.
NICOLLE WALLACE
ABCDisneyNews faggotry.
Walt would be rotating in his grave see what his empire funds.
ELISE STEFANIK
Media bias much(?) is not even any degree of sarcasm anymore!
Yet micro Matt would loudly complain if anybody dared to correctly note the puny obamas prime credential was his skin color.
I believe that we will be hearing her name a lot more in the coming future.
Bravo, Rep. Elise Stefanik!
And beautiful too .
No wonder that evil faggy brother of Maureen Dowd is jealous .
Poor Walt Disney must be turning in his grave.
Nicole Wallace sounds a little bit jealous
brother of Maureen Dowd.
Didn’t know that.
He’s not the brother of Maureen ...
but has/had been in a long-term relationship with Maria Shriver.
Sounds like he was talking about Hillary.
These “journalists” are nothing more than Democratic partisans and propagandists. They can’t even pretend to hide it anymore.

Misinterpreted by no one, but nice try.
AND see her pic!
Smart, pretty, conservative young lady.
>>> Elise Stefanik is a perfect example why just electing someone because they are a woman or a millennial doesnt necessarily get you the leaders we need,
his words exactly reflect on the Dem rising star socialist, AOC.
What Does said was true. It doesn’t apply in Stefanik’s case but, overall, it’s true.
