A Congressional Rep is going to a foreign country to denounce the President of the United States.

She should renounce her American citizenship.





Rehttps://nypost.com/2024/05/18/us-news/rep-stefanik-slaps-dithering-biden-in-knesset-speech/p. Elise Stefanik to address Israeli Knesset in Jerusalem, slam ‘dithering’ Biden


Published May 18, 2024, 6:54 p.m. ET

New York Rep. Elise Stefanik will address members of Israel’s Knesset in Jerusalem Hall Sunday, slamming President Biden for his “dithering” on American military aid, The Post has learned.

The speech was part of a trip to visit sites where Hamas terrorists slaughtered Israeli civilians on October 7.

In remarks released to The Post, Stefanik, who chairs the House Republican Conference, described herself as “a lifelong admirer, supporter, and friend of Israel and the Jewish people” and denounced the Biden administration for withholding military aid that Congress has authorized.


“There is no excuse for an American president to block aid to Israel — aid that was duly passed by the Congress … or to dither and hide while our friends fight for their lives,” her speech reads.
.......................
Stefanik’s trip makes her the highest-ranking member of the House to visit Israel since the cowardly attack by Hamas, her office said.

She sucks for New York. She is against everything forward. Another educated judgmental ass.

Edited to add: Why do we let her get away with this? I have rarely, if at all, heard Democratic surrogates slapping her down with this rejoinder that clearly exposes her as a hypocrite to anyone who had not already figured that out. If the parties were reversed in this scenario, a Democrat who would have slung such vile rhetoric would have been slapped down a long time ago.

Why do we let her get away with smearing Democrats as antisemitic when she is a key figure of a party whose standard bearer hangs out with Jew-hating Nazis and white nationalists like Fuentes and Bannon? She just keeps on doing this stuff. When do we put a stop to this hypocritical garbage?

Criticizing a President overseas use to be one of those 'you just don't do it' GOP mantras.
