According to the Associated Press, “Republicans vaulted Rep. Elise Stefanik into the ranks of House leadership Friday, electing an ardent Donald Trump defender in hopes of calming their searing civil war over the deposed Rep. Liz Cheney’s unremitting combat” with President Donald J. Trump.
Trump endorsed Stefanik for the post writing the following:
Liz Cheney is a warmongering fool who has no business in Republican Party Leadership. We want leaders who believe in the Make America Great Again movement, and prioritize the values of America First. Elise Stefanik is a far superior choice, and she has my COMPLETE and TOTAL endorsement for GOP Conference Chair. Elise is a tough and smart communicator!
While Stefanik defended President Trump, Cheney bashed him and voted to impeach him during the Democrats’ partisan phony impeachment witch hunt.
