Maybe families that lost people or were harmed in the insurrection should file lawsuits against Carlson and Stefanik. Seems today nothing talks like money. Something needs to stop this mischaracterization of reality.
"This is an endorsement of propaganda by a sitting member of Congress who we support."
I want to meet "we". Who are "we"? Chocolate milk activists? Anti-vaxxing school board terrorists? Xenophobes who cheer a governor trafficking and abandoning legally processed asylees in Martha's Vineyard on Christmas Eve to own the libs? Sympathizers who believe domestic terrorists and radical right wing extremists were treated unfairly during incarceration? The gullible who believe an empty suit's false claims of "delivering results" after executive branch grant monies (which she voted against) are awarded to applicants within the district?
Producing "alternative facts" is a process performed in order to hide the truth. By selecting specific events and omitting others, crimes disappear. This is called propaganda, popular in government destabilization movements. The seditious traitor currently occupying the office of NY21's rep wholeheartedly supports this to help cover her own tracks after conspiring with 146 other congressional co-conspirators to defraud the Unites States (18 USC 371) on January 6, vaguely citing "some people have questions". Elies is no better and in many ways worse than George Santos ever dreamt.
Our protest is at the ballot box. The red ripple was a testament to that. Some of we, like Kari Lake's buddy and VP choice rival still carry the lie for the minority that cling to it. It would be mean to protest so many victims.
And yet she claims to "back the blue". When I saw those campaign signs leading up to her re-election, it made me gag. Her and Carlson's claims are not falsehoods, they are outright lies.
When I think of Carlson and Stefanik, my mind wanders to Groucho Marx at his mustachiod sleaziest as Rufus T. Firefly in "Duck Soup," trying to sell a screamer to Margaret Rutherford with the line: "Who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?" In the movies it's funny. In real life, not so much.
I truly think that E'lies' Stefanik should have a mental competency exam. I think we should demand it. Anyone who believes the crap that Carlson is trying to deliver should have an exam by a competent psychiatrist or psychologist. Seriously!! She was THERE, and maybe the 'trauma' was so great that her little brain couldn't accept it. I think I might even write a letter to the editor putting the suggestion out there.
There must be a few members of Congress who witnessed Ms. Stefanik on that horrific and historic day and can attest that she was giving tours of the Capitol building to all the nice well-behaved peaceful visitors! God help us all, the road ahead is littered with minefields.
Thank you for calling a spade a spade. Stefanik will, we hope, get what she deserves in the end. Until then we can only hope that you continue to publish what needs to be said.
Paper delivery is very frustrating. Our mail may come in the morning, sometimes at 9 pm and sometimes not at all. Has just paid for 13 weeks. Carrier delivery stopped March 5 and for last week we only received a Wed paper on Thurs and Thurs came on Sat. Is there any refund policy?
OMG, Mr Tingley This has to be one of your easiest claims regarding Ms Stefanik antics, as I call her work in Congress - How much longer does the charade go on, c'mon Elise, please will you please get hep with the TRUE FACTS & PHOTOS regarding the Jan 6 RIOT.
That’s a question I’ve had all along is what did Elise Stefanik do during the attack. There were at least 3 of the Fox people contacting Meadows to get Trump to tell his army to stand down. Trump’s kids were doing likewise and so were a number of Stefanik’s colleagues.
It’s not like she was a nobody. She made her MAGA bones by defending Trump in the first impeachment. So, why not add her voice to try to stop the attack? I’m not such a partisan that I’d suggest she wanted the attack to continue. It seems really that she remained quiet. I will say she was likely in no danger. Pence, Romney and any Democrat were the ones in danger. The Capitol police cannot be praised highly enough.
Which leads to another relevant question. Does Stefanik back the blue, as in Tom Manger’s version of events or the admitted liar and disinformation artist Tucker Carlson’s version?
I can’t help but wonder now and then where Jerry Solomon would be in today’s Republican Party. Would he be with go along to get along McCarthy/Stefanik crowd or stand with the principled Cheney/Kinzinger wing and be out of Congress like John Katko? Profile in cowardice or courage?
I doubt if you watched Tucker's show where he showed video from what he now has access to. As a journalist you should be in favor of the press having access. As for the Josh Hawley running, Tucker showed the preceding seconds of video which shows a group of senators jogging being led by Capital Police in an evacuation. He appears to have been the last of the group and he was attempting to catch up to them. And for who the media called the 'QAnon Shaman' the video shows him not leading anyone but being escorted by Capital Police through the building. His attorney that had him plead out was on Tucker's show saying he had not been given access to the videos to defend his client which as a newsman should concern you. Yes, there were many people that stormed the building, many however were just people who attended the legal rally who then went to the Capitol building and entered peacefully and walked around. Tucker also showed video proving that Ray Eps lied to the Jan 6 committee. He has been seen many videos encouraging people to storm the Capitol building. He is in one video talking to an individual close to his ear just seconds before the person advances on a barricade forcing it down. The other video Tucker showed was video of Capital officer Brian Sicknick walking in the capital with a riot helmet and face shield after the time he was supposedly hit with a fire extinguisher. The media pushed the false narrative that he was bludgeoned to death. He died the next day of natural causes from a stroke, not bear spray. What Tucker has done is shed some light that was hidden by a partisan committee that was only interested on getting Trump. Instead of why Senate and Congressional leadership failed by not allowing the National Guard to help when it had been requested. The people who attacked the police that day deserve what they get, so should all the BLM and Antifa rioters who have destroyed property, attacked police and were responsible for deaths across the country. Btw no one has actually been charged or found guilty of 'insurrection' because it wasn't. It was a riot. No one has been charged with sedition, treason or insurrection. Finally did Elise perform her legal right to object during the count, yes which has been done by many democrats in all of the most recent presidential elections where a republican won. To this day many democrats including Hilary Clinton claim falsely that Trump was illegitimately elected president in 2016. When will you admit Russia collusion was a hoax perpetrated by the Clinton campaign. The collusion was between democrats and the FBI and Justice department against Trump.
Elise must be comfortable in her own skin and some of that is the support she gets from a lot of our neighbors. I wonder how many others in Congress are as comfortable as she is? At the end of the day, we have to wonder what or who will finally tarnish Elise in the eyes of her supporters here in the 21st.
I think you would have to ask Maury.

Something needs to be done.

“We” is all around us. I don’t see many protesting in the streets so aren’t we all responsible?

My apologies to Margaret Dumont. It was she who played Mrs. Teasdale in "Duck Soup."

I like the idea.

I agree with Barbara Sealy. Wonderful article Ken. I don’t think EEAAO should have won either from what I’ve heard.
So who’s spouting “Fake News”?…Fox News? At least the prior VP finally found his back bone.
It took years so I’m not impressed.

But local leaders let her get away with it.

Maybe he’d be a Democrat…
humpty stefanik wants you to believe
she calculates and deceives
she is the irony of lies
a thin shell rotten egg
that wants to enjoy her size
but ignore her ham-hock legs
the capitol police are bad
which is ever so sad
when she says she supports the blue
but only if they are part of her crew
she is a liar she is treason
her army are the policemen
and she is the reason
democracy will come to an end

I believe the videos should be available to all news organizations.
I agree
