Elise Stefanik’s Press Release Archive Vanishes After Liz Cheney Jab

New York Rep. Elise Stefanik’s full archive of press releases has vanished from her congressional web site, apparently after former GOP colleague Liz Cheney accused her of morphing “into a total crackpot.”

Like lots of her Republican colleagues during the last three years, Stefanik has eased up on the mob that stormed the Capitol in assist of former President Donald Trump; she referred to as Jan. 6 defendants “hostages” earlier this month.

Earlier this week, Cheney, a former House member from Wyoming, dug up the assertion Stefanik put out on Jan. 6, 2021, through which Stefanik condemns the riot’s “dangerous violence and destruction” and requires the perpetrators to be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Cheney referred to as that assertion a “rare moment of honesty” from the diehard Trump ally.

“One day she will have to explain how and why she morphed into a total crackpot. History, and our children, deserve to know,” Cheney stated of Stefanik on X, the platform previously generally known as Twitter.

According to the Wayback Machine, a website that crawls the net to archive content material, Stefanik up to date the part of her website dedicated to press releases on Saturday. Whereas earlier within the month, a customer was capable of view Stefanik’s press statements from way back to 2015, now solely press releases from 2023 and 2024 can be found. (Stefanik turned a congresswoman in 2015.)

Stefanik has defended Trump — arguably the final word “perpetrator” of the violence she’d condemned — and is campaigning on behalf of Trump for the GOP presidential nomination.

Her identify has even been floated as a possible operating mate. Trump reportedly nodded when her identify got here up at a Mar-a-Lago occasion, saying: “She’s a killer.”

HuffPost reached out to Stefanik’s workplace for a remark however didn’t obtain a direct reply.
