'You sold us out': Elise Stefanik gets icy welcome at ceremony in her district

One of the most recognizable names in the MAGA world received a cold welcome during a renaming ceremony in Plattsburgh on Monday, according to reports.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who was Trump's initial pick for the UN ambassador job, attended a ceremony to rename the Clinton County Government Center after the late John Zurlo, who was a county clerk for more than 50 years. Attendees booed and jeered Stefanik at the event, reported local news station NBC 5.

"You sold us out!" the outlet reported some crowd members screaming at Stefanik.

Stefanik pushed back on the protesters who jeered her.

"Today's event was about honoring John Zurlo," Stefanik said. "It is a disgusting disgrace that this is what the far left does. Rather than understanding that his family has been through a tremendous amount. It was about honoring his legacy."

Stefanik has been a political lightning rod in New York since she was elected in 2021. Last week, Stefanik called on Clinton County Chairperson Jerika Manning to resign because Manning didn't nominate a Stefanik ally in a special election.

Stefanik has also talked about running against Gov. Kathy Hochul in the next gubernatorial election, although she has not made an official announcement.

NBC 5 reported that Stefanik may make an announcement closer to the November election.
