GOP Women Stand With Our Greatest Ally – Israel

This week, Joe Biden’s catastrophic weakness on the world stage and his failure to support Israel, our most precious ally, emboldened Iran to launch a direct attack on Israel. Read what Republican Women had to say on the matter below:

Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21) released the following statement –

“As soon as Joe Biden took office, he reversed President Trump’s Maximum Pressure Campaign on Iran and less than six months ago he allowed critical international sanctions on Iran’s missile and drone programs to expire, empowering Iran to launch this massive strike. The United States must stand with Israel and offer our unwavering support.”

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) joined ‘Wake Up America’ on NEWSMAX to discuss Iran’s attack on Israel and the Biden administration’s lack of action. Nicole stated –

“The USA and Israel were able to stop 99% of Iran’s drones and missiles thanks to our intelligence, security and military partnership and amazing technology of the Iron Dome, Patriot and other defense systems. Joe Biden must reinstate sanctions he waived, add new sanctions that target Iran oil sales & stop releasing billions that have helped fund Iran and its proxies.”

Chairwoman Elise Stefanik Puts Columbia University’s Antisemitism on Blast

Last December, the world watched as Elise took on the presidents of co-called ‘Elite Universities’ Harvard, Penn, and MIT. No one would’ve expected the hearing to go viral – but it did. No one thought it would be the most viewed congressional testimony in history – but it was and it reached over a billion views across all platforms. Elise didn't expect it would be so difficult for these Ivy League presidents to answer ‘Yes’ on such a simple moral question.

Elise’s questioning of these universities focused a lens on academic institutions as a whole – as well as the people who run them and the people who fund them.

READ: New York Post – Stefanik: The House will hold Columbia accountable for its campus antisemitism

On Tuesday, Elise penned a scathing op-ed in the New York Post about Columbia University’s lack of action regarding antisemitism on campus.

On Wednesday, Elise and her colleagues on the House Education and Workforce Committee held another hearing on antisemitism on college campuses, this time focusing on Columbia University. Columbia recently received a ‘D’ on the ADL’s Campus Antisemitism Report Card.

WATCH: Fox News Coverage of Elise at the Columbia University Antisemitism Hearing

Following the hearing, Elise released the following statement –

“Today's hearing of Columbia University president and board members epitomizes the failed leadership on "elite" college campuses to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students. From the university president's moral equivocation on antisemitism, to glaringly inconsistent testimony regarding disciplinary action and lack thereof taken against antisemitic students and pro-terrorist faculty, to astonishingly stating that there has been no "anti-Jewish" protests on campus only to then acknowledge that "F-- the Jews" & "Death to the Jews" is in-fact anti-Jewish when she was further pressed.

Interestingly, during a break, the witnesses were overheard discussing how well they thought their testimony was going for Columbia. This arrogance is eerily reminiscent to the previous three university presidents who believed walking out of the hearing that their testimony was acceptable. Columbia is in for a reckoning of accountability.

If it takes a member of Congress to force a university president to fire a pro-terrorist, antisemitic faculty chair, then Columbia University leadership is failing Jewish students and its academic mission. No amount of over lawyered, over prepped, and over-consulted testimony is going to cover up for failure to act.”

2024 ELECTION INTERFERENCE UPDATE

This week, President Trump was in NYC to sit in for the witchhunt trial led by corrupt Democrats. This lawfare against President Trump is clear election interference! Republican women stand with President Trump and posted messages of support for him as Democrats continue interfering in the election at Joe Biden’s bidding.

Chairwoman Elise Stefanik stated –

“BREAKING: Corrupt Judge Merchan, a Biden donor whose family member has profited off this case & who illegally gagged President Trump just said "If you do not show up, there will be an arrest." A 6-8 week show trial... Total election interference.”

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) stated –

“Give me a break! Do you not see what is happening in your own state? In New York, EVERYONE from career criminals to repeat offenders to illegal immigrants are above the law. Donald Trump is the only one treated below the law & the world sees right through it.”

Chairwoman Elise Stefanik Honored in TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People

On Wednesday, TIME Magazine named Elise to the 2024 TIME100 Most Influential People list. TIME releases this list annually to highlight the most prominent figures of the year. Read Elise’s statement on the distinction –

“I’m honored to be featured in TIME’s 100 Most Influential People. Giving Upstate NY and the North Country a voice at the highest levels of government is the most humbling privilege of my career. I am committed to saving our great nation and will never stop fighting for YOU.”

The full list and related tributes will appear in the April 29, 2024, issue of TIME, available on newsstands now.

Describing Elise, journalist Charlotte Alter wrote –

“Stefanik has become a leading force in the conservative push to investigate DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and antisemitism on college campuses; her pointed questioning of university presidents at a congressional hearing contributed to the resignation of the president of the University of Pennsylvania, and kick-started a pressure campaign that resulted in the resignation of the president of Harvard University, her alma mater.”
