I must apologize because this only tangentially concerns Stefanik, although I presume she was in the room where this happened. But this little snippet was in the Post Star today, and it just describes in a nutshell what is wrong with the Republican party:

“WASHINGTON — Republican leaders warned party members against using overtly racist and sexist attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, as they and former President Donald Trump's campaign adjust to the reality of a new Democratic rival just months before Election Day.

At a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Tuesday, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson, R-N.C., urged lawmakers to stick to criticizing Harris for her role in Biden-Harris administration policies.

The admonitions came after some members and Trump allies cast Harris as a "DEI" hire — a reference to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Trump, in particular, has a history of racist and misogynistic attacks that could turn off key groups of swing voters.”

So this is who they are. They needed to call a closed door meeting to tell each other to not “overtly” use racist and misogynistic attacks (dog whistles are acceptable, I guess) because if voters knew how they really feel, they wouldn’t vote for them. They need to be dishonest in order to fake having some integrity. They are rotten through and through.

And now, like Biden, she should bow out and allow someone who is much more mature and really cares about upstate N.Y. and it's constituents.
