I have no congresswoman. I'm ashamed of who others have chosen for fear she does represent who they really are and that means we are surrounded by dishonest, power hungry, angry people. I drove down Quaker yesterday and there was a big (not red this time but black) truck in front of me with a giant sticker of Trump giving everyone the double middle finger. How delightful! It gave me a clear indication of who was inside and I didn't want to be anywhere near him.
Sadly, that middle finger represents what Trump and Stefanik have done, and continue to do to this country. The person driving that truck as well, because they have been taken for a fool.
Stefanik’s is a Red district. Hopefully the upstate Republican Party is searching out a new standard bearer to replace her when the inevitable happens. Trump is going down in flames and she will be caught in the backdraft.
Sedition Stefanik isn’t as smart as she think she is. Her support of the diabolical sociopathic narcissist is her attempt to secure a place with Trump possibly for a VP pick. What Miss Harvard doesn’t get is that anyone who hitches his/her wagon the the Trump train dies and be way or another. She is an embarrassment !
She boasts about working diligently for our district. She has a more than adequate war-chest. Yet, her actions are morally bankrupt. Funny, she hasn't commented on Santos (fellow GOP member). Her alt Right actions and narrative are not lost on this voter. And she's proud of her fight for chocolate milk in schools, therefore in her mind, supporting local dairy farmers...oh Please!
She is awful. The problem is those who are her constituents who are Trump supporters believe this nonsense so she echoes their beliefs to stay in office.
ken, excellent. i implore you to dig into her fund-raising program. i get multiple, frantic pleas every day urging me to support tfg. my understanding is that most of the money she raises from these appeals stays within her own campaign’s coffers. she is truly execrable.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of her abominable behavior. As an Extreme Maga supporter, she encourages hatred and lies among her supporters. We've seen that in past local elections and it's evident in the current election. One can only hope a majority of the electorate will see beyond the horrific behavior.
Trump is very effective at releasing the moral rot that is in people around him if it’s there. I hear people say they don’t know what happened to Elise, but it’s obviously what she was to begin with.
Rick Wilson’s rule that everything Trump touches dies still holds. Those 18 indicted along with him in Georgia along with the 30, so far, unindicted are learning that. The J6 mob is learning the price of loyalty to him. Ashlii Babbitt and Craig Robertson paid the ultimate price.
At some point Trump karma will come for Stefanik, too. Maybe we should root for her to get that Veep spot, not that she’s going to. His last one ended up running from a mob that was going to hang him. That’s not a job I would aspire to.
What’s really amazing is the damage Trump has done to the Republican Party in a number of states. The party has been trashed by allegiance to him, at the very least, in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia. Michigan has become probably the bluest state in the country since Trump entered politics.
I may be overly optimistic, but if Trump flipped WI, AZ and GA from 2020 it’d only bring him to a tie. I don’t see him winning any of them. He’s turned purple states blue.
What an empty 2 years this is going to be for Republicans in the House majority. There won’t be a blue tsunami but our Elise will be back in the minority in a year and a half with nothing to show for it except 2 years of chasing Hunter Biden conspiracy theories. 😢
I feel like she’s about to be announced as Trump’s VP pick any day now. She seems to be doing very little locally of late. That said, she helps her ticket more than Kamala Harris does Biden’s. Sad that we get such lousy choices all around — good people just can’t win anymore.
Trump’s not going to choose her for Veep. I wish he would. We’d get rid of her and he isn’t going to win, so it’s all good. She’d be a lock for a cabinet position if he did, tho.
If he does somehow win, I’ll see you in the gulag. 🍻
How people can still support both trump and Stefanik is beyond my comprehension. These indictments keep coming and from various parts of the country. The old saying “ where there’s smoke there’s fire”seems appropriate in his case. As for Stefanik, the voters of the North country need to vote her out!
unfortunately, she has the blind support of the "money" republicans in the North Country, and they keep her in office. If every democrat and independent in "21" voted against her, then there might be a chance to unseat her. Our only hope is for trump to get the nomination and choose her as his running mate, then we're rid of her. Of course, tRump will lose, and she is "history"...
I agree completely and am appreciative that you continue to try to expose this woman's (and one of our leaders) errant behavior, misguided principles and lack of integrity. It is truly astonishing. I just hope that the people can digest this and can begin to greater understand this ego/money driven politician.
Several columns back you recommended people read "The January 6th Report"
I did, everyone should.
And everyone should think about how, while doing their job.. they were wrongly branded as election cheaters by hmpy trmpy. Think about it in a way where they would have people coming to their house, calling them, threatening them, their their family.
This was orchestrated by hmpy trmpy like a mob boss.
Think about the next phone call you get would be a threat to you and your family with heinous, sexual attacks. For doing your job... CORRECTLY.
You say, "It’s long past time for the Republican leaders across the district to denounce Stefanik’s politics that put regular working class people in danger."
There in lies the real problem, the Republican Party has no qualms about nominating and supporting lying, cheating, fraudulent, indeed criminal, candidates for political office, from Donald Trump on down to Elise Steffanik. If this corruption of our democracy and our republic is to be removed, it has to start at the source.

Stefanik and her maggats. They are an embarrassment to our community, state, country and soldiers who fought for our country.

one only needs to look at the top 30 posts on her social media
she is NOT working for ny21
she is working for criminal ex-president #45
She is awful. The problem is those who are her constituents who are Trump supporters believe this nonsense so she echoes their beliefs to stay in office.
she validates the lies
though, sadly, in their ignorance they believe the lies
ken, excellent. i implore you to dig into her fund-raising program. i get multiple, frantic pleas every day urging me to support tfg. my understanding is that most of the money she raises from these appeals stays within her own campaign’s coffers. she is truly execrable.
That is correct. I have written about that before, but it apparently works.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of her abominable behavior. As an Extreme Maga supporter, she encourages hatred and lies among her supporters.

five stars
I used to hate Hitler comparisons with anyone, in hmpy trmpy case, it is clear. he is not running for president, he is running for dictatory.
He didn't start an insurrection as political discourse, it was a coup attempt
Dictator? Heavens no! He’s only running to be your retribution. 😅
and how would he seek retribution, without being a dictator?
It's why #pos_tefanik supports him. If he becomes dictator, she will be a SS agent
If he loses, how did it hurt her?

Perhaps Putin is behind her? I cannot believe her moral corruption is due to anything but bribes!
Elise has the farming community in CD 21 totally hoodwinked. They mistakenly think she cares. Don’t forget her chocolate milk campaign!
Stefanik is simply a morally corrupt person. NY21 citizens must vote for a new congressional representative.
Ken-

Now look at #pos_tefanik endorsing that behavior, even going to far as to stand in front of a sign that said FJB (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FfShR2SXwAUplkP.jpg_

#pos_tefanik isn't just endorsing lies, she isn't just repeating lies, she is issuing her own lies.
Please, start calling her what she is : a liar.
If you have read the Jan. 6 report, none of the indictments come as a surprise. They have been reported on repeatedly.
I had to read this story to make myself feel better.
https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/1193783789/a-mother-of-3-was-struggling-at-the-airport-then-the-mom-tribe-swung-into-action
but all I could think is: this something posTRMPoline would never do
she would NEVER help anyone
It's why she flies on her private jet, so she can avoid peole
Thank you for sharing that uplifting story. Good break.
