On January 6, anchor Kristen Welker said, “Do you still feel as though that day was tragic and that those who were responsible should be held responsible to the fullest extent of the law?”
Stefanik replied, “First of all, Kristen, as typical for NBC and the biased media, you played one excerpt of my speech. I stand by my comments that I made on the House floor, and I stand for integrity and I challenged the certification of the state of Pennsylvania because of the unconstitutional overreach. I stand by my floor speech. I am proud to support President Trump.”
She continued, “I have concerns about the treatment of January 6 hostages. I have concerns. We have concerns of oversight and over our treatment of prisoners. I believe we’re seeing the weaponization of the federal government not just against Trump, but we are seeing it against conservatives. We are seeing it against Catholics. That’s one of the reasons why I am proud to serve on the Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Government because the American people want answers and they want transparency, and they understand that as you look across this country, there seems to be two sets of rules your last name is Clinton or Biden, you get to live by another set of rule.”
Noooooo.....really?
They’re not “hostages”. Some of them have even been allowed to stand trial as long as they agreed to plead “guilty”.
Of course she has concerns. It’s an election year.
She’s just coming to this conclusion?
We’ve known about their abuse for years.
I like Stefanik, and can see her as a viable VP pick, but why did she wait for years before mentioning this?
It is a shame that the Democrats have set the standards for justice in this country. Of course this could come back to bite them!
republicans should of been protesting the arrest and treatment of these political arrests for years now.
Gulag America
She left out Obama, and he is the one BIG player in DC at this point in time...
I have *never* associated the word “tragic” with J6. Words like “coup, “corruption,” and “gaslight” come to mind, but hardly begin to address the abject state of affairs in Washington, DC and wherever leftists lurk.
The only Congress Critters I have seen try to call attention to what has happened to the J6 Political Prisoners was Louie Gohmert, MTG and Matt Gaetz.
Louie is now out of Congress and MTG and Matt have grown silent.
Political Prisoners AND Hostages.
Both relevant, and cruel and unusual.
Waiting years for justice
Isn’t there a speedy trial provision in the Constitution?
Love Elise…but, she only now has concerns??
About time.
GOVERNMENT v citizen
Stefanik may be the one we have been waiting for. A qualified, conservative female that can connect with brain dead soccer moms.
Meanwhile, those blm, occupy, dems who bombed, burned, destroyed, killed and assaulted were given settlements, an apology and martyr status.
From what little I’ve seen of Elise, I don’t see why any conservative would have a problem supporting her for VP.
As for President, I don’t know. That job requires a titanium backbone and I’m not sure Elise has one.
“the republicans are the party of NO ACTION”
A truism if there ever was one.
You’re aware of this Babylon Bee actor being arrested in recent days. A couple of hours after the riot ended he wandered over to take a look.

I like what I’m hearing from her.
