Malliotakis Supporter Rep. Stefanik Echoed Racist “Replacement Theory” in Buffalo Shooter’s Manifesto

Will Malliotakis condemn Stefanik’s racism and return her donations?

The Buffalo mass shooter, who targeted Black people, listed the “great replacement theory” in his disturbing and racist manifesto.

The great replacement conspiracy theory, which has inspired white nationalists and Neo-Nazis in America and around the world, has also been promoted by Malliotakis supporter and top House Republican Elise Stefanik, who has gone as far as paying for ads parroting it.

Nicole Malliotakis has praised Stefanik’s messaging, claiming Stefanik is “a great conference chair, and it’s good for New York to have her in leadership” – does she still believe that? 

Don’t forget: Rep. Stefanik has donated $20,000 to Rep. Malliotakis’ campaign.

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre
“Nicole Malliotakis has a shameful history of remaining silent while her friends and supporters espouse racist and dangerous conspiracy theories. New Yorkers deserve better, and if Malliotakis has any integrity left, she will disavow Stefanik.”
