MSNBC panel laughs at Elise Stefanik's humiliating 'audition' to be Trump's running mate
Three former Republicans appearing on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon burst out laughing at a clip of a manic Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) rattling off reasons why she would consider being Donald Trump's running mate should he make it to the November ballot.
During an appearance on NBC's "Meet The Press," the New York Republican breathlessly ticked off how proud she would be to be a part of a second Trump administration before guaranteeing the four-time indicted ex-president would win as she beamed at host Kristen Welker.
"Stefanik hit almost all of the MAGA talking points," MSNBC host Alex Witt prompted. "Couple questions here: I'm curious, might they be coordinating? Do you think she reaches out and says, 'What kind of verbiage should I use?' Is she auditioning to be Trump's vice president? Can you see her appeal for Trump?"
"There is no one in America running harder for Trump's vice presidential slot than Elise Stefanik. That is it," former GOP Rep. Dave Jolly (FL) smirked causing co-panelists Kurt Bardella and GOP strategist Susan Del Percio to start laughing.

"You recognize even how she increases the pace of her words when she was asked to prove her loyalty to Donald Trump — you saw that?' he asked as the laughter grew.
"Look, there are far more deep disappointing, and far less humiliating cases in politics than at Elise Stefanik," he added. "You have to think of [South Carolina Sen.] Lindsey Graham as one. The Harvard alum [Stefanik] came to Congress, really in the image of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, if you will; actually, a Paul Ryan acolyte of some sort and then quickly devolved into a MAGA Trump Republican."
"I think we should prepare as a country, that if Donald Trump does indeed lose to Joe Biden — the presidential nominee himself — Donald Trump will not accept a defeat. Elise Stefanik and others may not either," he warned.
