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."

At what point do far right wing fascists stop telling lies about rational liberals?
You speak of a non existent group of people. It’s impossible to lie about a group of people that don’t and never have existed.
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.
I told you that certain members just make shit up as they go along.
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.
Nowhere man failed to point out any actual instances of me being intolerant
He didn’t fail at making his point. It’s all mentioned in the locked 2.2 thread. It was locked 4 hours before you came back for more here.
Yes, he failed miserably, as usual.
I came back later because I have a life outside of NT - to comment on the FACT that nowhere man did not point out any actual instances of me being intolerant. I didn't want him to believe, or you, that you can say whatever you want, when it's not true, and I refuse to let anyone have the last word when they lie.
I HAVE NOT SHOWN INTOLERANCE.
PERIOD.
END OF STORY.
This coming from the most intolerant people on the planet...
There is no more intolerant collection of people than bi coastal secular progressive urban elites and their limousine liberal friends.
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...
We should feel so proud to share this person as part of our fan clubs here
The election was in fact stolen. It was the attempt to stop the steal that unfortunately for we the people was not successful. Now we have let’s go Brandon effing everything up for us all.
PROVE IT.
You can't.
I just posted a seed that goes into great deal about TRUMPS attempts to steal the election. Go educate yourself so you dont sound so phenomenally ignorant.
The evidence is slowly trickling in and when it’s all put together it will be a very solid case
You know what they call a supposed "fact" that not only has zero corroborating evidence but mountains of evidence to the contrary right? It's called a lie. And those who keep repeating the lie are called liars. Dirty, vile, disgusting, deplorable, pond scum liars.
That is what patriotic Americans would call seditionist sympathizing.
Isn't that what you've been praying for since Biden won? All the right wing conservatives have been begging for since January has been for Biden to fail, for a crippled economy, for broken promises, and they've done everything they can to make sure that happens because that's what seditionist sympathizers do when their initial plan to overthrow the actual elected constitutional government of the United States fails. They cheered when things went off the rails as Biden followed through on Trumps Afghanistan withdrawal plan. They danced in the streets when Russia started massing troops at the Ukrainian border.
They celebrated as the supply chain backups started to effect American consumers. Right wing conservatives are gleefully celebrating every possible failure as a conservative success because they are counting on that to get them back in power. Of course they did nothing but fuck up, start unnecessary wars, crash the housing market, pass tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations and get us even deeper in debt when they were in power over the last six Republican Presidents but they seem certain that the American people will blame Democrats just enough this time to get them back in power and they are giddy.
It is the Sanders/AOC wing of the democrat party that is intolerant here. Their intolerance over a Republican expressing solidarity with the United States Constitution that has the LWNJ democrat establishment so completely unhinged.
Then why are you guys so damned intolerant? you complaining about the quality of your education now?
[deleted]
That's clearly not the case considering the right wing conservative attempt to stop the constitutional duty of elected congressmen and Senators from certifying a free and fair election result.
For the wealthy and corporations. The little tax cut "carrot" for low and middle income earners expires in 2025 while the cuts for corporations and the rich keep on indefinitely.
Which is why Trump added over $8 trillion to the national debt in only 4 years?
Oh, so our military somehow just becomes "weak" as soon as a Democrat is elected? What kind of nonsense is that. Our military has been the strongest on the planet for the last several decades regardless of what party the President happens to be. The men and women in our armed forces who keep us safe are of every political stripe and do not shift allegiance or willingness to sacrifice just because of the Presidents political party affiliation. It's shameful that such sad bitter right wing conservative losers angry that they lost an election would mock and deride our military simply because the President is not of the political party they prefer.
What evidence?
How am I intolerant?
You need to read it again and comprehend it.
{chuckle}
They wipe their corrupt asses with the Constitution.
They are for themselves only, no one else.
Oh lets see...
There's more but I would have to go to other threads in other articles, which I think is considered a CoC violation of some type....
I'm talking about the obvious lack of education of certain folks - and their intolerance. If you comprehended the quote you might realize that, you being such a humble guy and all that.
{chuckle}
I comprehended the quote quite well and accurately, and I think you applied it effectively, but since you obviously didn't comprehend the irony I was just surprised you would post it.. one of those pot vs kettle things you know...
That's ignorant. My comments regarding public figures does not demonstrate intolerance. So buzz off.
Thank you for the acknowledgement... {chuckle}
[✘]
That's your usual agnorance shining through. Such ignorance. Such arrogance.
It's not a case of pot vs kettle but I know that's all you alleged conservatives have is projection, deflection and denial.
You may have the last word, for now.
From comment 2.1.4
Who's that public figure your talking about?
well thank you for all your tolerance demonstrated here, I'll sleep better at night knowing you allowed me such.. /NOT!
{chuckle} have you ever written comedy before? you could make a good career at it...
Can't believe you typed that with a straight face.
Have you ever read some of the PNs you send to some of us conservatives?
What's intolerant about pointing out ignorance?
I'm intolerant of ignorance - so you're right about one thing.
That comment is not intolerant. It's just pointing out ignorance.
It never hurts to question the quality of bi coastal secular progressive urban elites education….
Why'd you delete your comment calling a member a cockroach?
Nah, never mind. Too numerous to go into detail here.
Damn I thought she used that word exclusively only to me. Now I'm jealous.
Ya got nothing. As usual.
Comment section 2.2 is locked, charger
Nothing.
Elise Stefanik is a proud trumpster. Her credibility is zero.
trumpturd ass kisser/dick ...... Stefanik. No trumpturd supporter has any credibility.
It seems that many progressives are just as misogynistic regarding conservative women as they are racist toward conservative POC.
She's got more credibility than all 7 of those dopey Dems put together.
Nope. No trump dick ....... has any credibility.
That’s for sure!
It is Let’s go Brandon’s credibility that is zero.
Full of Bull
See more Ramirez toons HERE.

That's something we see under EVERY Democrat run administration. More and more people are starting to realize it.
Every time a democrat won the presidency and both houses of congress they went for broke and made us broke instead. They got a shellacking in 1994, 2010, 2014, and learned nothing. Shellacking 2022 will commence.
And the Democrats are trying to change to election laws / rules. Not like it's going to help.
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.
It is Biden and his energy starving, supply chain breaking, tax and spend inflationary policies that are negatives on our families abilities to stay afloat financially
... conservatives say while stuffing as much of the Covid relief funds as they can into their pockets...
Then they say “my great great great great great grandfather didn’t get educated on the history of slavery and racism and neither should our kids”.
Really, said while Governuer Inslee redirects 800 million in federal covid relief funding to other purposes in the state of Washington...
Some blue states spent pandemic money meant to reopen the schools on CRT training for their staff to teach it by any other name
That's not true.
You really expect us to give up whatever stimulus we received while everyone else keeps theirs?
It most certainly is true.
No, it's not.
Actually it is true…
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.
without a doubt.
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...
[removed]
True. When Fox Prime Time talked about this they mentioned several other big blue cities doing the same thing.
Again, not true.
Actually it is true. Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles at Least so far are copying Washington DC. In my state we vary from inland rural and small city/county places with no restrictions at all like where I live which are like Florida/S.D. to LA/SF which are close to what DC is doing.
