I hate the thought of Kevin McCarthy being Speaker. He's another do-nothing grifter wuss.
MTG for Speaker!
But I also like Elise Stefanik - she'd be a great choice.
This Stefanik?
As CBS reported, Stefanik issued a statement condemning Trump's remarks.
“Donald Trump’s inappropriate, offensive comments are just wrong,” she said. “No matter when he said them or whatever the context. I hope his apology is sincere.”
His statements regarding NATO, his statements regarding Putin,” Stefanik told NCPR, “regarding some of the positions in regards to Iraq that he made, regarding the oil fields — I absolutely oppose those.
Stefanik was quoted by Albany's CBS 6 as saying she would support “my party’s nominee." Stefanik would not mention Trump by name, however.
“I oppose President Trump's rushed and overly broad Executive Order,” Stefanik said on Twitter.
“I don’t think that’s realistic,” Stefanik said. “I don’t think the president’s plan is exactly right on that.”
(Stefanik later opposed Trump’s suggestion that he might fund the border wall using Department of Defense funding. At an editorial board meeting with the Watertown Daily Times in March 2018, Stefanik said it was "not gonna happen.")
“Congresswoman Stefanik strongly believes the President's comments were wrong and contrary to our American ideals,” the spokesman said.
“Congresswoman Stefanik continues to be an outspoken supporter of the Mueller investigation and believes it would be a serious mistake for the president to fire Mueller,” Flanagin said. “It is important to let the Mueller investigation proceed so we can get to the apolitical truth of Russian meddling in our 2016 election.”
