As the nightmarish scenario of running alongside Donald Trump becomes real, Evasive Elise Stefanik is resting her case for re-election on her so-called record.
Asked recently about her thoughts of running with Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik pivoted to: “I am focused on doing my job and I’m hearing very positive feedback throughout the district, and like my first run, people are looking for a new generational approach. They’re also looking for results.” [TWC News, 4/11/16]
What “results,” Congresswoman?
There hasn’t been a whole lot happening in the Republican-led Congress. But don’t just ask us:
- AP: “Bold promises, but thin agenda so far for Ryan-led House.”[AP, 3/3/16]
- FOX News: “Congressional agenda for 2016 has basically disappeared.” [FOX News, 2/25/16]
- Politico: “Congress setting new bar for doing nothing.” [Politico, 3/21/16]
- Bloomberg: “Paul Ryan’s House Agenda Upended by Trump, Cruz Dominance.”[Bloomberg, 3/8/16]
- Huffington Post: “Will This Be The Most Do-Nothing Year Of A Staunchly Unproductive Congress?” [Huffington Post, 4/29/16]
“The question is simple: in the face of the nightmarish scenario of running alongside Donald Trump and his reckless views that insult women and make our country less safe, what legislative record – exactly – is Evasive Elise Stefanik planning to use as her shield?” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “It’s clear that Evasive Elise is stuck between defending Donald Trump and the House Republicans’ do-nothing record in Congress. Good luck.”
