Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is defending her controversial vote to provide $40 billion in military aid to Ukraine — while Americans continue to reel from inflation and the nation faces historic deficits.

Speaking exclusively to Breitbart News, Stefanik stood by her decision to vote for the package, despite calling herself “ultra-MAGA,” as the Senate sends the legislation to the President’s desk.

“That’s disappointingThat’s disappointing”

Agree, I really liked her. I doubt she gets away with giving Brandon a Blank Check with NO OVERSIGHT for $40B, and that’s before considering what’s happening on the ground (i.e., Ukraine getting their butts kicked).

Bush Leaguer, you can’t get into leadership without being one.

“Who paid off this whore?”

Probably no one. She just chose to believe the media, rather than find out the history there as well as the facts on the ground. Does not bode well for her...

Game over for her, politically.

“I know there is frustration. I share the frustration that there needs to be significant investment in our infrastructure at home and our border security, and that’s what we need to win back the House to stop these imperfect bills from being forced onto the floor,”

Talk is cheap, but talk is all we will ever get from the current crop of Republicans.

She is #3 in the House leadership.
Eyepatch McCain was renominated by Texans.
The only ones sure to be gone are Cheney and Kinzinger.
The rest of the 145 Bush League Republicans that voted for Liz in Feb 2021 will probably be re-elected.

There’s a big military base in her district (Fort Drum) and she spent six years on the Armed Services committee.

She voted the way her donors wanted her to.

Disgraceful. This nation is doomed. Globalism and foreign intervention is a religion in this country.

I’ll take her over my Congressman any day (Ted Lieu). Besides, she earned my respect in the impeachment hearings. She did a good job despite being a newcomer. I’m not going to write a person off for this vote.

The continuing easy corruption of those who run for office claiming to be for “We The People” and “MAGA” once they get to DC is quite disappointing. Human Weakness and personal greed are quite Biblical and, Quite Real.

If we supply them with weapons, we are getting involved. I’m on Ukraine side from a distance. I’ll root for them, but that is all
