Elise Stefanik Elected House GOP Conference Chair!
Townhall ^ | 05/14/2021 | Reagan McCarthy

Posted on 05/14/2021 7:33:18 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

House Republicans voted to put Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in the number-three role in caucus leadership, after Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) was ousted from leadership for her criticism of former President Donald Trump.

Stefanik’s bid for Conference Chair was endorsed by Trump, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and GOP Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), in addition to other rank-and-file lawmakers. From the ultra-conservative wing of the party, Stefanik received criticism for a “liberal” voting record. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) launched a challenge to Stefanik, arguing that her record is not conservative enough and that there should not be an expedited “coronation” process to replace Cheney.

Stefanik won the support of the caucus with 134 votes in a secret ballot process that occurred with little delay on Friday morning.

The newly-elected House GOP Chair said that the American people are witnessing an "economic crisis, a border crisis, an energy crisis, and a national security crisis due to Far-Left radical policies," and vowed that House Republicans will push back on President Biden's agenda.

I’m fine with her...not with her record though.

By electing her, the GOP has said that TRUMP IS BOSS, first by throwing out the bitch, and then by replacing her, not with a conservative, but with Trump’s choice (and a good choice, given her defense of him).

It’s a message to the bitch, Romney, and every other RINO that TRUMP MATTERS and matters a lot to the GOP, whether they can deal with that, or not.

Stefanik is a NY RINO. Here’s hoping she is the one who gets chopped in redistricting instead of the far superior Lee Zeldin.

Apparently, “Lifetime Numbers Score,” “Conservative Review Score,” “Club For Growth Score,” and the “2020 Freedomworks Score” all required participants to say ‘President Trump most definitely deserved to be impeached, just not under the current wording.”

I have come to believe that the Trump was maybe just part of a “Long Con”. If he is happy about this then it further erodes my trust in him."

That doesn't even pass Occam's! They could have had Witchey-poo and been 4 years further down their progrom road against Conservatives. She would have won re-election in 2020 vs. Rubio in a cakewalk!

Schumer promised Trump he would be junta'd by the Deep State: “If you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”.

The Minority Leader of the Senate of the Free World promised Trump he would be junta'd. Does that sound anything like a "Long Con"? It was a freaking Bolshevik Coup, for ****'s sake.

He may have just fallen short of actually voting to impeach President Trump, but he campaigned for impeachment like a Democrat.

REPORTER: “Is President Trump the leader of the Republican Party?”

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY): “I believe that voters determine the leader of the Republican Party and President Trump is the leader that they look to. I support President Trump.”

Pardon my ignorance, but what does a “GOP Conference Chair” actually do?

Someone should ask her if she agrees with this.

Oh I guarantee that the media will ask her every chance they get.

Between the two, Chip Roy looks like the conservative. What happened?

Looks like she has a pretty lousy record, but probably the best you can do and live in NY.

“Looks like she has a pretty lousy record, but probably the best you can do and live in NY.”

I wonder if Stefanik’s recent votes are better then her early votes. She seems to have become more conservative lately, by far, (including her strong support for Trump), but I really don’t know her recent voting record.

Anybody know?

Thanks for the info.. Rep. Roy doesn’t seem much better than Cheney when it comes to impeachment.

Agreed.

Stefanik is a disaster.

I haven’t heard either. I’d have to research and who are we to believe? I just hope she works FOR us instead of against us like Cheney has.
