'Total Crackpot' Elise Stefanik Deletes Her Statement Condemning Jan. 6

One thing is certain (besides death and taxes) is that Elise Stefanik really, really wants to be Trump's running mate. And to do it she'll go to any lengths, such as calling January 6 offenders "hostages" and other inanities. When Liz Cheney pointed out her obvious hypocrisy, Stefanik did what all Republicans do who lack any semblance of self-respect: they delete the evidence.

Elise Stefanik of New York, a top House Republican and a leading contender to be Donald Trump’s presidential running mate, is “a total crackpot”, the former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney said.

Cheney threw the barb on Tuesday, in response to a statement in which Stefanik called the House January 6 committee on which Cheney was vice-chair “illegitimate and unconstitutional” and claimed it “illegally deleted records”.

Cheney said: “This is what Elise Stefanik⁩ said, in a rare moment of honesty, about the … attack on our Capitol.”

Cheney posted Stefanik’s statement from 6 January 2021, the day Trump supporters stormed Congress after he told them to “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden, a riot now linked to nine deaths.

Cheney added: “One day she will have to explain how and why she morphed into a total crackpot. History, and our children, deserve to know.”
