MAGA Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who was running for governor of New York, has suddenly not just quit the governor's race, she has quit politics entirely. She's also resigning as a member of Congress, and she will no longer be involved in politics at all. Everything Donald Trump touches dies. She was once viewed as a rising star within the Republican Party.
She worked for George W. Bush in the 2000s. She went to Harvard. She was then a protege of Paul Ryan. and Mitt Romney. When Donald Trump came into office during the first regime, she started more closely being an ally of him. She went all in on Donald Trump and MAGA. She was an election denier when Donald Trump lost in 2020.
She started calling the January 6th insurrectionists hostages, and she went from being a moderate who was elected in New York's Upstate area to now being a MAGA radical who turned her entire New York constituency against her. She became a loathe political figure and she was even.
for all of her loyalty, utterly disrespected by Donald Trump and MAGA Mike, because that is what they do in the MAGA movement. They chew you up and they spit you out. You'll recall that she was appointed by Donald Trump to be the United States ambassador to the United Nations. And then she was pulled from that role.
and then you had the guy who was involved in signalgate replace her and get rewarded for leaking classified information on signal elise stefanik then pivoted back to congress where she then said that she would be running for governor of new york against kathy hochul all the polls had elise stefanik getting absolutely destroyed i mean new yorkers hate Elise Stefanik right now.
One of the things that Stefanik was trying to run on is Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani, and she would say Mamdani is this radical and extremist and anti-Semitic and all of that, just this defamation against Mamdani. And then Donald Trump was asked in the Oval Office when he was standing next to Mom Donnie, you know, do you think this guy is bad for New York?
Or do you think... And he'd go, Elise Stefanik has said all of these things about him. What do you make of that? And Trump's like, yeah, I don't think Elise Stefanik's right about this guy. And so at every step of the way, for all of her loyalty and for all of her just... totally throwing out any of like what she claimed her principles to be in college.

Chapter 2: Why did Elise Stefanik drop out of the New York Governor's race?
And see you later. Bye-bye. You played yourself. You destroyed your career by giving up any of your principles to just do whatever Donald Trump wanted. And Trump and MAGA chewed you up and spit you out and treated you like crap after all the loyalty you showed them. Your legacy is that of a disgrace. Your legacy is of a pathetic loser. That's what your life is now. That's what your legacy is.
You did that. Hold yourself accountable. You screwed up big time on what actually could have been a promising career. Horrible.
Chapter 3: What factors contributed to Elise Stefanik's resignation from Congress?
Every day look in the mirror and know how terrible of a life you've lived, Elise Stefanik. And I'm not trying to be harsh. She's just an awful human being, and I'll come with some receipts shortly. Governor Hochul's campaign spokesperson put out the following statement. Elise Stefanik has finally acknowledged the reality. If you run against Governor Hochul, you're going to lose.
As Donald Trump raises costs on New Yorkers and targets this state relentlessly, Governor Hochul has cut middle class taxes. put money back in New Yorkers pockets and fought this administration and won when New York has come under attack.
Chapter 4: How did Donald Trump impact Elise Stefanik's political career?
The fact is 100% MAGA Bruce Blakeman traveled all the way to DC to celebrate Trump's expensive tariffs. He ran Long Island safety and at hospital into the ground by appointing corrupt cronies to run it and let violent crime in Nassau County spike to its highest level in decades. Governor Hochul's message to him or whichever lackey Trump picks to run against her is simple, bring it on.
And Elise Stefanik

Chapter 5: What changes occurred in Elise Stefanik's political stance over time?
No, let me just bring you some receipts right here of Elise Stefanik. So you had Elise Stefanik in the past two weeks saying that Maga Mike Johnson needs to go, saying that Maga Mike Johnson would be voted out if there were to be a vote to remove him as the speaker. That's one of the things she came out with recently. Maga Mike was like, maybe she should just give me a call in a little bit.
Let me show you that in a moment. But first, let me show you over here. This is back on January 7th, 2024. Elise Stefanik referred to the January 6th insurrectionists. as the hostages. She called them the hostages. Here, play this clip.
On the issue of election integrity, though, as you know, Trump took his case to court more than 60 times that there was fraud. He didn't win. But I want to get back to this Key question, do you still think it was a tragic day? Do you think that the people who stormed the Capitol should be held responsible to the full extent of the law?
I have concerns about the treatment of January 6 hostages. I have concerns. We have a role in Congress of oversight over our treatments of prisoners. And I believe that we're seeing the weaponization of the federal government against not just President Trump, but we're seeing it against conservatives. We're seeing it against Catholics.
And that's one of the reasons why I'm so proud to serve on the select committee on the weaponization of the government, because the American people want answers. They want transparency. And they understand that as you look across this country, there seems to be two sets of rules.
If your last name is Clinton or it's Biden, you get to live by a different set of rules than if you're an everyday patriotic American.
Now, when Elise Stefanik was. Potentially going through that confirmation process to be the United States ambassador to the United Nations, which her nomination was withdrawn by Donald Trump. Senator Van Hollen asked her a question. Should Israel have a biblical right to take over all of the West Bank to just seize it? Here's what she said. Play this clip.
Rarely surprised by answers in my office, but I did ask you whether you subscribe to the views of Finance Minister Smotrich.

Chapter 6: What was Elise Stefanik's relationship with the MAGA movement?
I'm sorry, Smotrich.
This is the Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich and the former National Security Minister Ben-Gadir, who believe that Israel has a biblical right to the entire West Bank. And in that conversation, you told me that, yes, you shared that view. Is that your view today?
Yes.
Okay, I think when it comes to this very difficult issue, if the president is going to succeed at bringing peace and stability to the Middle East, we're gonna have to look at the UN Security Council resolutions, not just the ones on Lebanon, which we should enforce, but other UN Security Council resolutions.
And it's gonna be very difficult to achieve that if you continue to hold the view that you just expressed
when she was auditioning to be Donald Trump's VP and he ultimately passed her over to pick JD Vance. She was asked, had you been vice president on January 6th, what would you have done? Here, play this clip.
And let's talk about the vice presidency because you just said that you would be willing to serve in a Trump administration. Had you been vice president on January 6th, 2021, what would you have done? I stood up for the Constitution. What would you have done if you were vice president? I would not have done what Mike Pence did. I don't think that was the right approach.
I specifically stand by what I said on the House floor. And I stand by my statement, which was there was unconstitutional overreach. There was unconstitutional overreach in states like Pennsylvania. And I think it's very important that we continue to stand up for the Constitution and have legal and secure elections, which we did not have in 2020.
And the tens of millions of Americans agree with me, Caitlin. Well, I would say the Supreme Court in the state of Pennsylvania said that that Republican passed changes to their law was constitutional.
