Stefanik Deletes 2021 Statement Condemning Rioters

Politico reports:

Former GOP House chair Liz Cheney on Saturday accused her successor Elise Stefanik of deleting a press release from 2021 condemning protesters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

In Stefanik’s 2021 press release, she condemned the “violence and destruction” of Jan. 6 and called for the perpetrators to be prosecuted.

Stefanik has since downplayed the significance of the attack on the Capitol and cast doubt on the legitimacy of legal action against the attack’s participants. She is reportedly under consideration to be Trump’s VP pick should he win his bid for the presidency.

This is what ⁦⁦@EliseStefanik⁩ said, in a rare moment of honesty, about the January 6 attack on our Capitol. One day she will have to explain how and why she morphed into a total crackpot. History, and our children, deserve to know. https://t.co/rSvPe8PDzC

I’m told that, in response to my prior tweet, @EliseStefanik deleted her 1/6/21 statement — that those who stormed the Capitol “must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Here is Elise’s statement again. Feel free to share. #nomorecrackpots pic.twitter.com/ChVaKPdrCg

In case anyone forgot, here’s a pic of Rep. Elise Stefanik hiding for dear life from those peaceful January 6th “hostages” who were carrying zip ties, busting windows, and shouting “hang Mike Pence.”

Violent attackers, Elise.

Amazing side effect of @EliseStefanik claiming 1/6 criminals are political “hostages”.

Federal judge cites Stefanik “trying to rewrite” history as he sentences inmate to extra time in jail:

“It’s up to the court to tell the truth. I hope a little truth will go a long way.” https://t.co/02yHa2PRFb
