Elise Stefanik pulls endorsement of GOP candidate after anti-Trump comments leak
Just the News ^ | 1/4/24 | Ben Whedon

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., has withdrawn her endorsement of Ohio GOP House candidate Craig Riedel in the wake of leaked audio of him speaking poorly of former President Donald Trump.

"I think he is arrogant. I don’t like the way he calls people names. I just don’t think that’s very becoming of a president," he said, in the audio, which leaked in December, Politico reported. He also reportedly said he would not endorse Trump, but did so immediately following the leak.

"Earlier this week, I informed Craig Riedel (OH-09) that I will be withdrawing my endorsement. I was very disappointed in his inappropriate comments regarding President Trump. As we begin 2024, my focus is on ensuring we nominate the strongest candidates on the ballot who are committed to electing President Trump this November and expanding our House GOP Majority," Stefanik posted on X.

Ohio's 9th Congressional District includes Toledo and is currently represented by Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur.

The Senate tolerates and encourages anti-Trumpism (that is anti-conservatism).

The House doesn't.

Its an interesting situation

My leftist contacts all believe Obama is genteel, level-headed and responsible in his speech. Yes, he has made aggressive or harsh comments from time to time

BUT - being at the top of a HUGE woke, Neo-communist, aggressive, well-funded party and network, he can play the role of calm mediator. Obama and his people in government, academia and elsewhere literally started race-riots on the streets of America several times - and their comments continue to this day. tens of thousands of them speak in extreme, polarizing terms every day

Trump has not such network.

The Left has no monopoly on Cancel Culture. It’s alive and well right here.

Trump would do well with Stefanik as the VP candidate. That's a lot of pluses. I don't see many negatives.

In four years with Trump she'd make an outstanding and perhaps unbeatable candidate.

“I think he is arrogant. I don’t like the way he calls people names. I just don’t think that’s very becoming of a president,….”

Just another shallow spineless so called “Republican” who thinks he is so deep and thoughtful.

I read something about what Birdbrain brings to the tablr as VP. My understanding is that thos lady is also a pretty good fundraiseer. She’s technically on the inside. Not sure how she plays with the so called suburban moms though.

I couldn’t help but notice the hypocrisy of the lefties, libertarians and some so called conservatives in the way they complain about the aggressive demeanor of Donald Trump all the while they called him names, insulted everything about him, his family, friends, supporters and cabinet members, not to mention wishing for his imprisonment and death, with some even saying they hope he burns in hell.
