Trump nomination of Stefanik to UN resurfaces ‘ultra MAGA’ transformation

Raw Story  

U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik has accepted Donald Trump’s nomination to serve as U.S. In 2021, Mother Jones reported that Stefanik had said Trump was soft on Russian President Vladimir Putin, and noted that her replacing Cheney "marks the triumph of Trump-uber-alles fealty within GOP circles. Before that, Stefanik had made decisively anti-Trump statements, like, “Russia meddled in our electoral process,” and, “We’ve seen evidence that Russia tried to hurt the Hillary Clinton campaign,” and, “I am concerned about some of the contacts between Russians and surrogates within the Trump Organization and the Trump campaign.” In December of 2022, The New York Times published a lengthy profile on Congresswoman Stefanik, detailing how she had "embarked on one of the most brazen political transformations of the Trump era. "Ms. Stefanik’s reinvention has made her a case study in the collapse of the old Republican establishment and its willing absorption into the new, Trump-dominated one." Former Republican Capitol Hill communications director Tara Setmayer blasted Stefanik for, among other things, calling those convicted of crimes surrounding the January 6 insurrection "hostages."
