Elise Stefanik Has the ‘Worst Luck in American Politics’
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has the “worst luck in American retail politics ever,” declares host Molly Jong-Fast on this episode of The New Abnormal.
She’s referring to Stefanik’s past “replacement theory” rhetoric that resurfaced very quickly after the “screed” of the Tops shooter Payton Gendron had been reported to contain the same kind of views.
“People have died because an 18-year-old used those theories as the basis of his worldview,” adds co-host Andy Levy. “Look, if someone went out and killed a bunch of people because of stuff I’d been saying, I’d wanna run away from the stuff I said too, but that doesn’t change the fact that you said it.”
