Trump-loving Elise Stefanik buried for double standard on crime: 'Unfit for public office'

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), a key architect of a symbolic resolution to "expunge" the two impeachments of former President Donald Trump, is being called out by conservatives and liberals alike for her quick judgment on the Democratic lawmaker accused of pulling a House fire alarm.

Stefanik, who has consistently stood behind Trump despite his 91 felony charges in various districts, is also known for standing by George Santos. Santos has also been indicted for alleged felonies, and is accused of fraud and of lying about his entire background.

Despite her stance on Trump and Santos, Stefanik was quick to condemn Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), who has been accused of pulling the fire alarm in order to delay a key funding vote. For his part, Bowman has claimed he didn't know that he would trigger the alarm when he pressed the door.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

"A Democrat Member of Congress just committed a felony by pulling the fire alarm to try to delay and stop a Congressional vote to fund the government," Stefanik said.

Political onlookers were quick to point out the double standard.

George Conway, a conservative attorney and frequent critic of Trump, said the act was "outrageous."

"He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I can’t imagine how livid you’re going to be when you hear about this other guy who’s been charged with committing **91** felonies," the lawyer added.

Donald Trump biographer Tim O'Brien also called out the lawmaker.

"I can’t remember what [Stefanik] posted about the former Republican president who bought a gun on the campaign trail while under multiple indictments," the Bloomberg Opinion editor said.

Former Associate White House Counsel Ian Bassin also chimed in.

"I have no problem with an investigation into what reportedly was Rep. Bowman pulling a fire alarm, and with him facing appropriate accountability if it’s true," he said. "But if you’re focused on that while whitewashing a violent attack on the Capitol, you’re unfit for public office."

Stephen Bainbridge, a Professor of Law at UCLA, had this to say:

"Were you this upset when a defeated President tried to incite an assault on the Capitol to overturn the election?" he asked Stefanik.

National security attorney Bradley Moss also piled on.

"Oh, so efforts to delay and stop a Congressional proceeding do constitute felonies? Wonderful. Thank you to [Stefanik] for conceding that Donald Trump committed a felony."

Andy Roddick, a former American tennis player, even joined in.

"And he should be prosecuted for it. See how easy that is?" he asked Stefanik.
