Because most of America is tired of funding Ukraine when our own country is under invasion. That might be why she changed her mind. Her constituents don’t want Ukraine to be funded anymore.
One does not have to be a rocket scientist to understand Sedition Stefanik’s motivation. As I have expressed before, for Miss Harvard it’s all about self interest. Her behavior is simple. Whatever will enable her to achieve those goals, that is what she will do. If voting against Ukrainian people will ingratiate herself with Trump, she’ll do that and if touting a new and improved missile defense system will make her look good she’ll do that too. Make no mistake about it, this person has no allegiance to the people of NY 21.
It makes sense to defund NPR and later have the FCC pull the licenses of all the stations. If one is establishing a totalitarian regime allowing factual information in the public forum is a bad idea. The words under the Washington Post Logo are "Democracy dies in darkness"
Ken, can you get any information about Paula Collins, a democrat who has qualified to run against Stefanik??? Perhaps this challenger can shake loose some common sense in the residents of the far North Country. I'm sick of her obvious disregard for the media and the voters up here...all to garner favor with the "Orange" monster. Actually, maybe it would be a good thing is she's tapped as his running mate...then, when he loses, we're rid of her...not a bad thought, right???
Regarding the article on Stefanik voting "No" on Ukraine funding, I agree that she should explain why she voted that way, and that may be forthcoming. I note that over $80 billion in aid, mostly military, has been authorized to date. Now another $60 billion. But yet Ukraine is pretty much losing. Maybe there needs to be a new strategy, like diplomacy, a favorite of the current administration.
Thanks for the information on how Stefanik voted on the aid, Ken. I knew there were 90 some Republicans who had voted against it. I didn’t realize she had become such a hollow person in her drive to become veep that she’d sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainians and their sovereignty.
The GOP no longer has any principles and deserves the collapse that’s coming for it. Any Republican leader of the past must be spinning in their graves to see the party in hock to a shallow group of amoral strivers whose only concern is their own fame and fortune.
Here’s a clip of Tim Snyder responding to the lunatic ramblings of Marge Greene who is arguably less despicable than Stefanik who has the advantage of the very best educational opportunities.
As usual Ken, trying to keep Stefanik's feet to the fire seems to be a lost cause. She takes her constituents for granted and does what she wants to do. This no vote on Ukraine ,however, goes over the top and you would think create some questions in the minds of her supporters here in the 21st.
Given our Congresswoman Stefanik's support for whom she falsely termed "hostages" of the Jan. 6 insurrection, and given their violent actions and intentions, I find it hard to believe she has suddenly become a pacifist relative to our country's overseas interventions.
I think we, as her constituents, must be given an explanation for Stefanik’s vote. She has been very busy haranguing leaders of higher education . She fails to represent us.
And as for NPR, it is and always has been an excellent source of information AND entertainment. Radio Deluxe is a national treasure.
Ken-Important good interpretation of Stefanik's self serving disregard of her constituents and countries best wishes and intentions for support of Ukraine.
Support for more aid to Ukraine does not enjoy a majority of the public's support.
I am thankful she did not vote for more. That does not make me, or others of like mind, a supporter of Putin. It does make us fiscally responsible. It also means we are cognizant of the fact Ukraine is of no actual strategic interest to the USA, nor does it have a defense treaty with us.
The biggest justification I here strategically is just a rehash of the old SE Asian domino theory. That theory was trashed by actual events.
I am certain Europe has a security interest but frankly I see no need to engage in yet another European war adventure.
Thanks for bringing this up. I feel a great need to help Ukraine. Supposedly we have hurt them a LOT already by our negligence. I don’t understand her at all. She’s just a MAGA supporter.

I think she actually voted "Nyet".

I hadn't heard one thing about a lockdown....usually that would garner a story on local news stations. Dint understand that at all.
As for NPR there are people within our government who would see free thinking shut down.

There is no excuse for Elise, except for “us.” We promote that which we permit. Vote her out. Hard…but simple.
