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.

Externally, the House Republican Conference coordinates media availability for leadership events, schedules GOP Members to participate in TV and radio interviews, and generally communicates the House Republican message to the public.
“Of course they did... The GOP is worse than useless.”
Blame Trump. He was pushing her.
Face palm of embarrassment. Keep going after those local elections, build a power base. Washington is a long, uphill slog that will take 50 years or more, notwithstanding the prospects for 2022.
This was funny:
It's only true insofar as RINOs are not really Republicans.
Elise Stephanic was only 29 when elected rep. and hopefully, she has matured somewhat by now. Elise did go from complaining that Trump tweeted too much to defending Trump profusely.
However, as a strong pro-lifer, I’m disappointed that she has exceptions for abortion rape, etc.). All my pro0life heroes are 100% pro-life. Of course, I’m sure she’s far more pro-life than just about any Dem politician.
Your statements are reassuring. I hope she lives up to the hype!

@BitChute
Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t Stefanik one of President Trump’s most vocal defenders during Schiff’s 2nd impeachment and in calling out the vote fraud?
Yes, one of the few vocal defenders.
WTF??? Where do you come up with that???
Yes, she will!!!
Voted against the wall three times.
Voted to stay in the Paris accord.
Voted against the border emergency declaration.
Liz Cheney still has her committee positions, this is all fakery by the GOPe. Only a harsh body blow by the base by rejecting RINO's is going to change the leadership behavior..
all three house leaders are stinkin RINo’s.
i have no use for them
