WOW! Notorious sycophant GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik, desperate to be Donaldās VP pick, humiliates herself by accidentally attacking Donaldās own legal team. And thatās just the start. Read on š
Iām calling it: Apart from Donald, New York Republican Elise Stefanik wins the prize as their partyās top gaslighter. Quite an accomplishment, considering the competition.
Every lie is an audition to be Donaldās Vice President pick. But today she gave us a true gift ā a lie that backfired spectacularly. As she tried to kiss Donaldās ring, she slipped in the worst way.
Here are the details of this humiliating blunder, plus two more you need to know about:
Stefanikās first mistake
Hearing news that E. Jeanās trial will be delayed until tomorrow, Stefanik quoted this tweet:
Running with the conspiracy theory, Stefanik double-downed on the comment and tweeted, āThis is blatant election interference! Joe Biden and his Democrat cronies are the true threats to democracy! TRUMP 2024!ā
The only problem? Not only does Joe Biden and the Democratic party have NOTHING to do with E. Jean Carrollās civil case, but Donaldās own legal team asked for the delay. š
Also, itās āDemocratic,ā you immature twit.
Hereās the truthā¦ because truth still matters: One juror reported to the judge that they were feeling ill. The judge then gave Donaldās team the choice to continue one juror short, or wait.
It was at that point that Donaldās attorney, Alina Habba disclosed that she too had a fever, after spending time with her parents, who both tested positive for COVID-19ā¦ and, yes, she still showed up to court knowing all of this and sat next to her client without wearing a mask.
Habba herself asked for the adjournment.
But Elisa didnāt back down. Twitter promptly roasted her for accidentally attacking Donaldās own team. It even mercilessly fact-checked by Paula Reid on CNN.
Knowing Donald, he will not be happy that Stefanik embarrassed herselfā¦ or his legal team.
Stefanikās second mistake
Stefanikās failed attempt to suck-up to Donald this morning was only the latest example of her desperation.
A few days ago, Donald made headlines for repeatedly mixing up the names of Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley on the campaign trial. Even Nikki Haley, notoriously reluctant to criticize Donald for anything, called him out.
But Stefanik saw an opportunity.
During an interview in New Hampshire where sheās campaigning for Donald, she effectively told the entire country not to believe what they heard with their own ears. In Stefanikās view, Donaldās gaffe was actually a brilliant political attack:
Stefanik: āThat isnāt a mix-up. The reality isā¦ā
Reporter: ā[Haley] wasnāt Speakerā¦ā
Stefanik: āNikki Haley is relying on Democrats just like Nancy Pelosi to try to have a desperate showing in New Hampshire.ā
I doubt this will help Stefanik get in back in Donaldās good graces ā there are few things he likes less than having his mistakes pointed out.
By highlighting his gaffe, she gave it more oxygen, focusing attention on it after people had nearly forgotten about it. Strike two.
Stefanikās biggest mistake
Elise Stefanik remains an unrepentant liar and continues to be willing to do whatever she can to achieve her own political ambitions, regardless of the consequences to others, or herself. For instance, few people know that she was removed from the senior advisory committee at Harvardās school of government because of her perpetuation of Donaldās 2020 election lies.
In my view, her biggest mistake is the extent to which she underestimates voters ā including you.
I understand the skepticismāeven though Iām coming at it from a completely different direction. I often wonder how the hell itās even possible that so many voters are willing to give Donald the Republican nomination, putting him dangerously close to occupying the White House.
But in 2020, when we mobilized and got the word out, enough people listened, and together we kept Donald from getting a second term. This time, weāll need an even bigger push.
Thatās why, this month, I have officially announced that Iām launching a nationwide tour against Donaldās campaign, and and all of his enablers.
If you support me, please help me reach voters with the truth about Stefanik, Donald, and ALL of the lying anti-democratic GOP, by becoming a paying supporter now. The more support I have, the more people I can reach with the truth. š
Thank you for those who upgrade to support my efforts, it means the world to me.

Unfortunately Trump and his followers are not th best and brightest. Vote Democrat!!!
How did Stefanik get thru Harvard? More and more Harvard grads are not representing the Law school and other disciplines very well are they. It is sad and disgusting.
