ELISE STEFANIK's
TOP TEN LIES
ELISE STEFANIK's TOP TEN LIES
PROLOGUE
In the last year, she has called Democrats vicious, creepy, disgraceful, antisemitic, pro-communist, criminal, radical, pedo-grifters, immoral, unconstitutional, far-left, feckless, socialist, corrupt, criminal, and unAmerican. That’s for Democrats in general.
Elise didn’t start out in politics as a liar. At first, she rightly got kudos for being bipartisan and able to work with Democrats to get things done. Then, without any explanation to her constituents, she flipped and suddenly became Ultra-MAGA.
Now she spends her time looking for things to be outraged about that she can blame on Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Lie # 1
WHY ELISE MISSED VOTES IN THE HOUSE
While the House was in session, Elise went AWOL. She filed an official government document saying that it was because of the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency.
That wasn’t true. The truth is that she went to Mar-a-Lago for a high roller fundraiser.
Knowingly filing a false document is against the law. (18 U.S.Code, Part 1, chapter 47, Section 1001). That was not the crime of the century, but it does prove that Elise will lie when it is in her best interest.
Elise can go to Mar-a-lago as often as she wants, but she is not supposed to lie about it.
Lie # 2
The January 6 Rioters Were Just Sightseers.
Elise likes to say she always backs the blue. On January 6, she stood before the cameras and strongly condemned political violence. When she flipped to Ultra-MAGA, she totally reversed herself and openly agreed when Tucker Carlson said it was a mostly a peaceful gathering. Elise also agreed that the rioters were not insurrectionists, they were sightseers.
When the rioters entered the capital, Elise was on the House floor. She scurried out the back door to avoid the approaching “sightseers.” One hundred forty police officers were injured that day, some beaten with the poles of American flags. After her sudden conversion to MAGA, Elise no longer condemned the violence against the Capitol police. She sided with President Trump and the rioters. She certainly didn’t back the blue on January 6.
No, Elise, those were not sightseers.
Lie # 3
Elise Lied About What Is in the U.S. Constitution
Elise wrote an open letter to her constituents after the 2020 election and said:
"I will respectfully object to contested electors from the states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Article II and the Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution make clear that I have an obligation to act on this matter if I believe there are serious questions with respect to the Presidential election.”
That is false. Article II and the Twelfth Amendment say no such thing. Elise made it up.
There are only two possibilities: Either Elise doesn't know what is in the Constitution, or she knows and is lying about it.
Elise can have her own opinions, but she can't have her own Constitution.
Lie # 4
Elise said 40,000 votes in Georgia came from underage, deceased, and otherwise unauthorized voters
Elise is smart. She knows Trump lost the election. She knows she is lying.
This claim has been debunked again and again. The Presidential election in Georgia was overseen by long-time Georgia Republicans. The ballots were counted three times and President Biden won the state. Elise falsely claimed that in one county alone, 40,000 votes came from underage, deceased, and otherwise unauthorized voters. The truth is, after a full audit, MAGA Republicans’ hand-picked consultant agreed there were no 40,000 unauthorized votes. The 40,000 unauthorized voters Elise said were there do not exist. That truth hasn’t stopped Elise’s lying. When the president will hear her, she still says that the Georgia election was stolen from Trump.
Lie # 5
George santos
Elise was George Santos’s most significant endorser and supporter, including being his biggest congressional fundraiser.
Elise knew about Santos’s lies during the campaign. One of her close aides was advising him, including helping him find replacement staff after many quit the Santos campaign on learning of his many lies. Elise
knew she was supporting a liar for Congress.
She also endorsed Sandy Smith, a 2022 unsuccessful House candidate who called for the arrest and execution of those responsible for the "fraud" of Mr. Trumps loss.
“I am excited to endorse my friend George Santos for Congress. He has my full support!”
--Elise Stefanik
Elise was duped, because while she was raising money for George Santos, he was spending it on Botox for himself, trips to casinos, and shopping at high-end stores.
Santos played Elise and she fell for it.
Lie # 6
Elise flip-flops on Political Violence, and does a 180
Elise went all in, supporting the guy she once called “a whack job.”
She decided to pretend she believes everything Donald Trump says.
When Trump supporters tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power, Elise was initially outraged by their violence. She called it a tragic day for America. To quote her directly, “I have said repeatedly January 6 was wrong. It never should have happened. Those who stormed the Capitol and committed acts of violence, breaking into offices, including the Speaker's office should be held accountable…violence in any form is absolutely unacceptable…it is truly un-American. I hope the president, and I know the president will forcefully condemn these violent acts today.”
But then Elise had a problem.
Trump would not condemn the violence.
Which is the real Elise Stefanik?
Elise had to decide: should she continue to speak what she knew to be the truth and condemn the deadly violence, or should she buttter up Trump to satisfy her personal ambition and go ultra-MAGA).
On January 6, she called those who broke into the Capitol a mob of “violent criminals” who “should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Then, when Elise suddenly allied with Trump, she started saying the opposite. Now, she never says anything critical about the rioters, even those who beat up Capitol policemen. She doesn’t call them violent criminals any more. Now she calls them patriots.
Lie # 7
ELISE LIED AGAIN ABOUT WHAT IS IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
Elise lied about Donald Trump’s troubles with the law. Trump was tried and convicted of 34 felonies for falsifying business records to conceal his having sex with Stormy Daniels. He tried to buy her silence to affect the results of the 2016 Presidential election, which is against the law.
With no explanation and no evidence, Elise called the accusations. unconstitutional. This was the second time (see Lie # 3) she made reference to something allegedly in the Constitution that she made up to make herself look good.
Once again, Elise used a phony COMPLETELY made-up reference to something SUPPOSEDLY in the Constitution (THAT ISN'T ACTUALLY IN THERE) to make her lies sound more convincing
Elise lied again about what is in the Constitution to make her false arguments sound more convincing.
Lie # 8
Elise Deliberately Misled Her Constituents About Her Ambition
The Adirondack Daily Enterprise, a local upstate newspaper reported that Elise had reserved the website names EliseforPresident.com and StefanikforPresident.com.
The story was true.
When asked about it, Elise deliberately misled the press and her constituents. She had a member of her staff release a statement that no one in her office had anything to do with it. Strictly speaking, that is true.
Elise had someone not in her office do it.
The statement Elise released had no purpose other than to deliberately mislead her constituents, her outside-the-state donors, and the press.
Lie # 9
Elise Takes Credit For Things She Voted Against
Elise didn't vote to repair the bridge. She voted AGAINST it. She took credit anyway when the money showed up.
Elise has a pattern of deliberately misleading her constituents when it works to her advantage. More than once, she boasted about bringing federal funding back to the district, failing to reveal she voted against it.
For example, Elise said, "To help keep Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge in sustainable working order, I proudly delivered $3 million in funding to address the degrading conditions of the bridge."
She voted against the bill that awarded $3 million to repair the bridge.
Lie # 10
ELISE SPREADS RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION
First, Elise was duped by George Santos into raising money for him while he was spending it on fancy clothing, trips to casinos, and Botox.
Then, she was duped again. This time, she was tricked into spreading Russian disinformation around the country.
Elise said, “Biden is the most corrupt President in our nation’s history.” The source of the information that convinced Elise to make that false accusation was a man named Alexander Smirnov. He told the FBI that President Biden and his son Hunter had each received a $5 million bribe from the head of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. It wasn’t true.
When Elise heard about it, she quickly moved to weaponize it. The press was called in to see her say “A highly credible FBI source alleges that Joe Biden received a five million dollar bribe.”
Elise didn’t know it at the time, but the man she called a highly credible FBI source was a secret Russian intelligence agent. Elise broadcast the Russian disinformation to a national audience as if it were true. She is what the Russians call a useful idiot. The Russians tricked Elise into spreading their disinformation.
