Rep. Stefanik claps back after Biden questions what GOP 'is for': Republicans are 'for the Constitution'
Republican conference chair argues Biden has allowed his agenda to be yanked left
Republican Conference chair Rep. Elise Stefanik , R-N.Y., hit back at President Biden on " Fox & Friends ," providing an answer to his question during Wednesday night’s news conference where he asked, "What are Republicans for?"
"Let me tell you what we are for," she said. "We are for the Constitution. We are for lower taxes. We are for balanced budgets. We are for peace through strength and a strong military, not this weakness that Joe Biden has shown and is showing now."
BIDEN'S PRESS CONFEREENCE GETS PANNED BY CRITICS: ‘TOTAL DISASTER’
The president claimed that five GOP senators have admitted to being in support of his agenda but refuse to back it to avoid defeat in their primary elections. Stefanik argued that this is plainly untrue since even members of his own party oppose some of his policies.

"Republicans across the country oppose Joe Biden’s agenda," she said. "But what’s more telling is the reason why his agenda has been torpedoed this past week is because Democrats in his own party oppose his agenda which has moved so far to the left."
Stefanik listed how not only did the president give a green light for Russia to attack Ukraine, which she considered an "attack on an ally" no matter the scale, but it’s also become "clear" that the Democrat agenda is "out of touch" with hardworking Americans.
"We have crisis after crisis one year into Joe Biden’s presidency," she said. "And there is a reason why his approval rating has fallen farther and faster than any other president in our nation’s history."

The American people have grown more and more frustrated with Biden’s plan to deploy massive spending and higher taxes, Stefanik explained, as the country still struggles to escape the coronavirus pandemic.
The president has also been scorned for leaning left of center after campaigning as a moderate and a unifier.
"The reality is the far left has control of the agenda and he has allowed that to happen," she said. "He has allowed the AOC’s, the Bernie Sanders’ to pull his agenda so far to the left. Again, the proof is in the polling."

Stefanik said the GOP will work hard to earn the support of the American people moving into November in order to be a "check on this reckless, reckless administration."

What was legal and constitutional about Trump trying to steal the election ?
The same thing as when the Democrats tried it.
Please tell us when the democrats tried to do what Trump has been doing for the past 14 1/2 months .
How quickly you forgot about the Democrat ran Meuller "Investigation". 4 years of digging looking for something, ANYTHING a duly elected president did wrong based on falsified documents (sorry "opposition research").
All that to come up empty.
First of all, the democrats didnt run the Mueller investigation. Secondly, the mueller investigation was not connected to any stealing of an election, and thirdly, the US Senate (Republican led) said Trumps campaign had inappropriate interactions with Russians.
Keep telling yourself that. Remember it was based on the babbleing of Clinton when she lost then the "Steele Dossier" was used as justification.
And exactly were these "inappropriate interactions"? Wasn't collusion. That's not even a crime under USC. It's also ironic that Meuller come up empty with any chargeable offenses.
This coming from the most intolerant people on the planet...
Ahh, my one person fan club.... A perfect example of trying to tell a lie over and over hoping someone will believe it... {chuckle}
(psst: It's also a perfect example of intolerance)
Like all fans, eventually she will start throwing panties, that's when I will have a real problem... {chuckle}
The funniest thing is, you keep posting demonstrations of intolerance trying to insist you aren't... the original claim was intolerance demonstrates lack of education... you are really trying to cement that notion as fact aren't you...
Nothing.
Elise Stefanik is a proud trumpster. Her credibility is zero.
She's got more credibility than all 7 of those dopey Dems put together.
That's something we see under EVERY Democrat run administration. More and more people are starting to realize it.
Republicans will disregard any issue that is current and negatively impacting a family’s ability to stay afloat financially in order to pretend to concentrate on the issues that impacted their great great great great great ancestors.
Right, because they spent months hysterically screaming about how elections are not legitimate immediately after claiming the last election was the most legitimate in history.
I'm sure fighting to make sure that people don't have to show identification to vote will really help a family's ability to stay afloat. Way to focus on what matters.
P.S. You should take this messaging up with your fellow travelers, who claim everyone is doing great under Biden and the economy is perfect.
fighting to make sure that people don't have to show identification to vote
If Republicans would stop trying to vote more than once just to use their own criminality to paint a picture of a flawed voting system then Democrats wouldn’t have to go down the road that Republicans paved. Forgive me - I shouldn’t have put it that way, since the last thing a Republican would support is paving a road.
It is odd that the democrats suddenly want to change the rules after they won with the old rules. I guess they know they don't stand a chance at mid-terms and a very slim chance the next presidential election. So, changing the rules is the only way they can remotely attempt get an advantage.
It doesn't help their case when the DC Mayor mandated that everybody must show ID and Vax cards to do anything.
Yep you have to show your papers on demand to do everything a normal citizen does going about their life, EXCEPT vote...
It's not jut in DC...
