Trump-supporting Elise Stefanik buried by Jamie Raskin for grandstanding on antisemitism
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) dropped the hammer on Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Sunday morning for her hypocrisy in using a House hearing on antisemitism on college campuses to grandstand on the topic while supporting Donald Trump who has a history of catering to white supremacists.
Speaking with MSNBC host Ali Velshi, Raskin, who is Jewish, said the Catholic Stefanik needs to get down off her "high horse."
The controversial Stefanik launched into furious tirades aimed at the presidents of Harvard, Penn and MIT last week over their equivocations on whether calling for the genocide of Jews constitutes bullying and harassment on their respective campuses.
Video of her grilling of the academics quickly went viral — in large part because the New York Republican flooded social media with clips of herself — and Raskin pounced on MSNBC.

"Where does Elise Stefanik get off lecturing anybody about antisemitism when she's a huge supporter of Donald Trump who traffics in antisemitism all the time?" Raskin exclaimed.
"She didn't utter a peep of protest when he had Kanye West and Nick Fuentes over for dinner — Nick Fuentes, who doubts whether October 7th even took place because he thinks it was some kind of suspicious propaganda move by the Israelis," he pointed out.
"The Republican party is filled with people who are entangled with antisemitism like that and yet, somehow, she gets on her high horse and lectures a Jewish college president from MIT," he added.
