Thanks for stating what I have always been saying: Stefanik takes credit for money she brings to our district after voting against the bills that awarded the funds. It's like taking credit for baking from scratch a Betty Crocker cake. But her lies are bigger than that and more dangerous.

The minimum efforts required by any representative in Congress is to have her staff assisting in the paperwork for service grants. Effective congressmen have competent staffs who can answer questions or state the congressman's leanings on the issues before them in the House. This is not the case with Stefanik's interns. And, by the way, when she touts the huge number of responses to individual outreach by her constituents it includes every phone call and visit to her office urging her to support a bill or to voice complaints about her votes or outrageous statements. Her response is the sending of a form letter stating she is "happy to serve you," and to tick-up the number of her responses. I've stopped calling.

Stefanik doesn't do much of anything for the money these folks have gotten. They write and submit the grants themselves. She decides who is worthy of a letter from her to support that grant. It's very strategic based on the votes she will acquire and how useful it would be to her personally. All very similar to other MAGA politicians. The world is made of givers and takers. We all know which category Elise is in.

DeSantis voted against hurricane relief for Sandy but of course expects help now so he can brag about how nicely he worked with Biden to save his state. Gaetz voted against relief for his own state. Rubio doesn't even bother to show up so he doesn't have to take responsibility for voting against a bill. Yet people continue to vote for these jokers.
