Republican mocked for attacking MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace amid impeachment hearing: ‘Shouldn’t you be paying attention?’
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was ridiculed online for attacking MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace during the impeachment hearings.
Stefanik, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, attacked the MSNBC host during her committee’s hearing.
Wallace, a former top Republican strategist, has been a harsh critic of the administration. After Stefanik interrupted the hearing, Wallace blasted her.
“It would appear Elise Stefanik is drinking the same loony tune juice with her breakfast as Nikki Haley – going from occasionally reasonable Republicans to Trump shills,” Wallace tweeted, adding the hashtag #pathetic.
Stefanik replied to Wallace less than a half an hour later, while the hearing was underway.
“I am flattered that you are comparing me to Nikki Haley,” Stefanik tweeted, claiming it was a “HUGE compliment.”
Stefanik then attacked Wallace for not running for office as a Republican — even though Wallace left the party in the age of Trump.
“Instead of ever standing in front of voters as a candidate or putting your name on the ballot, you just keep attacking GOP women who have. Sad,” Stefanik claimed. “Get outside of the MSNBC bubble!”
The Republican congresswoman was quickly ridiculed for tweeting about a TV anchor during the impeachment hearing. Here’s some of what people said:
You are one of the few Republicans I had hoped would put country over party. Huge disappointment.

You might want to pay attention to the hearing, Stefanik. Your party is being destroyed, as will your reelection.

Thank you for clearly demonstrating how little you value our election security, foreign standing and constitutional order, Elise! Enjoy your new Fox News street cred! It’s almost as valuable as integrity.

Omg! You should be listening to the testimony. Do your job!!!!!

She’s worse than @nikkihaley, she swore an oath to the Constitution which she spits on with this sycopanthic behavior.

Apparently, Stefanik was designated to be the female version of Gym Jordan.

It is FAR from a compliment. You should resign- now.

Chris Collins is indicted. Pete King’s retiring. Lee Zeldin is embarrassing himself. You’re not paying attention to the hearing. Are the New York Republicans trying to engineer a complete House shutout?

Don't you have a job to do, like, right now?
— RicSilvestre (@ricsilvestre) November 13, 2019
Absolutely shocked at your behavior, Rep. Stefanik. Grab a seat in a lifeboat.

Shouldn’t you be paying attention to the testimony and not on twitter? Quit complaining about wanting to ask questions when you don’t really want to hear the answers.

Pay attention, child. Important things are happening.

Hey Elise,
You work for the people. Not #criminaltrump pic.twitter.com/G6IhkgYzWO— Susan Henry (@SusanToups1) November 13, 2019
You've been elected to listen to this testimony. Do your job.

THIS…..shows the lack of substance in any GOP arguments.
— Michael Petty (@5MilesHigher) November 13, 2019
Isn't there something important you should be doing right now? Like… Listening to testimony!? The public kind. That you wanted?
— Tammy Colson (@TLColson) November 13, 2019
@EliseStefanik partisan warrior is a bizarre look and wildly, wildly out of step with her district
— Jon Reinish (@JonReinish) November 13, 2019
@elisestephanik If you don't want to listen to the truth, give this position to someone that will.
— Mary Lou Mintz (@MaryLouMintz) November 13, 2019
Shouldn't you be listening to the absolutely devastating testimony two witnesses before your committee are currently giving about egregious presidential abuse of power instead of tweeting insults at television hosts? https://t.co/NfN1OpYFlL

Mitch McConnell says he’s in ‘total coordination with the White House’ on Trump’s impeachment
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said clearly on Thursday what many have assumed: When articles of impeachment come over from the House of Representatives, as is expected, to his chamber, he will be acting virtually as President Donald Trump’s defense attorney.
“Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with White House counsel,” he said on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show. “There will be no difference between the President’s position and our position as to how to handle this.”
He noted that, unlike the many other issues that come to his chamber, he’s unable to block impeachment. If it comes, he has to hold a trial, he admitted somewhat ruefully.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's ruling party appeared on course for a sweeping victory in Thursday's snap election, an exit poll showed, paving the way for Britain to leave the EU next month after years of political deadlock.
The Conservatives were forecast to win a thumping 368 out of 650 seats in parliament -- which if confirmed would be the party's biggest majority in three decades -- according to the survey published as polls closed.
The pound jumped by about two percent against the dollar on the projected results of what all sides had painted as the most momentous election in Britain in a generation.

Trump administration heavily redacted documents concerning their withholding of Ukraine aid
The Trump administration has refused to disclose how key officials at the Department of Defense and the White House Office of Management and Budget reacted to President Trump’s decision to halt military aid to Ukraine.
On Nov. 25, federal district court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the administration to produce records reflecting what these officials said to one another about the legality and appropriateness of Trump’s order. The Center for Public Integrity sought the information in Freedom of Information Act requests filed in late September.
