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

Trump’s damage to the federal government is driving voters to turn to more liberal candidates: report
According to a report from Politico, Donald Trump's tenure has not resulted in voters becoming more conservative, and instead, he is driving them into the arms of more liberal and progressive candidates at the local level who are then using their newfound power to change Democratic policies at the national level.
Trump's negative influence is turning into a positive for those candidates -- particularly in the big cities.
"From New York City to Los Angeles, many of the nation’s biggest cities have turned even harder to the left under President Donald Trump, putting pressure on local officials to embrace the leading progressive presidential candidates — or withhold their endorsements entirely for fear of antagonizing newly energized activists," the report states. "It’s a drastic political shift in some places, where for decades entrenched party bosses crushed any signs of life on the left or tended to put the weight of big-city institutional support behind Democratic establishment-oriented candidates."

GOP’s Collins demands delay in impeachment hearing after being overwhelmed with Dem’s massive case against Trump
Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) has demanded that Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) postpone a scheduled House Judiciary Committee hearing slated for Monday after being blindsided by a massive report from the Democrats on the committee making the case for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
According to Newsmax, Collins -- who has become one of the president's main surrogates opposing ouster of the president -- fired back at the Democrats over their Saturday release of thousands of pages of documents to be considered from the House impeachment investigation.

Trump revealed his impeachment strategy 21 years ago — when he defended Bill Clinton
Digging back into the archives, Politico reveals that President Donald Trump appears to be re-purposing the advice he suggested to Bill Clinton when the embattled Democratic president faced impeachment 21 years ago.
According to the report, Trump made an appearance on NBC's Hardball during the Clinton impeachment saga, where he told host Chris Matthews that Clinton needed to "go after his enemies," which has, to date, been Trump's main response to his own impeachment.
