Elise Stefanik: The Trump Defender Who Wins

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

No President has faced more unfair attacks and smears from the Democrats and mainstream media than Donald J. Trump. Just a few minutes after he was inaugurated, The Washington Post published an article with the headline, “The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun.” The Clinton campaign colluded with discredited national security officials and their allies in the liberal press to smear President Trump as a Russian asset. Then came the Mueller probe, which was based on complete lies. Elise Stefanik, the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference has proven herself to be the strongest and most effective defender of President Trump. 

Elise Stefanik continues to be one of President Trump’s strongest allies on Capitol Hill. She has stood by him from the beginning, as one of the few female members of Congress to vote for Trump in 2016. In fact, she was viciously attacked for this in Democrat television ads. She served as co-chair of the Trump Campaign in New York State and spoke at the Republican National Convention in support of President Trump. Elise also defended President Trump during both sham impeachments and partnered with the President to raise millions of dollars for conservative members of Congress and first-time candidates, with the goal of taking back the House and firing Nancy Pelosi.

 

It was March 20th 2017 when Stefanik’s offensive against the fake Russia hoax began. On that day, Elise was the first Member of Congress to press F.B.I. Director James Comey on why he did not inform the intelligence committee about the counterintelligence investigation on then-candidate Donald Trump. This line of questioning opened up the inquiry with Devin Nunes and other House Republicans to expose the Russian hoax which was pushed by the Democrats and the corrupt media. Most impressively, Elise was tapped by President Trump to be on his impeachment team. Elise was a leader in the effort to expose Adam Schiff’s lies during hearings and successfully did multiple interviews defending Trump and prosecuting her case to the American People. She successfully destroyed Adam Schiff and worked with President Trump to defeat the first sham impeachment in 2019. 

As the newest sham against President Trump begins this week, the January 6th Committee public hearings, Stefanik is expected to play a huge role for President Trump once again. News reports claim that Stefanik was tapped by President Trump to lead the messaging for the Republican Conference, coordinating media hits and talking points, working closely with Leader McCarthy, Ranking Member Jim Jordan, and key allies on the outside. Breitbart’s Matt Boyle pointed out this weekend that, “Next week is Elise versus Nancy. I will take Elise every time in that fight.” Right after January 6th, Stefanik was the first member of Congress to rightfully point out how Speaker Pelosi is responsible for the security of the Capitol. She has also exposed how the only office that is off limits to the investigation into January 6th is that of Speaker Pelosi’s. Stefanik has also highlighted the main fact, which is that the committee is an illegitimate sham. Speaker Pelosi took the unprecedented step of not only going against the original outline for the commission, but unilaterally removing Republican members selected by Leader McCarthy off of the committee. This has become nothing more than a partisan witch hunt, with the sole purpose of destroying their political enemies and ultimately harming President Trump. The American public sees right through this scam. Stefanik has done a great job getting Republicans on message, exposing the Biden Administration for causing a baby formula crisis, inflation crisis, crime crisis, border crisis, and energy crisis. The American people are hurting right now, all Democrats want to do is talk about January 6th, instead of solving real issues that are affecting our citizens. 

As we head into the January 6th political theater hearings this week, Republicans will be ready to counter the Democrats lies. Elise Stefanik has a track record of defending President Trump, exposing the Democrats smears, and most importantly winning the support of the American people. From impeachment to January 6th, Stefanik has defended President Trump successfully. It is Elise versus Nancy this week, and my money is on Elise as well.
