Elise demands Joe Biden, Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer condemn NY Democrat congressional candidate's call to force Trump voters into re-education camps

Elise’s Far Left Democrat opponent, who has admitted to never living or voting in the district, was caught on an audio recording supporting sending MAGA supporters to re-education camps then doubled down to Fox News when asked about the incident. Elise is calling on Joe Biden, Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer to unequivocally and immediately condemn this statement.

Elise stated –

"Joe Biden and Democrats up and down the ballot are attacking democracy by weaponizing lawfare against President Trump and now threatening 're-education camps' for Trump voters. Joe Biden, Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer must immediately condemn this statement."

THE RIGGED BIDEN TRIAL VERDICT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP

After last week’s sham conviction of President Trump by Soros-funded Far Left Democrat District Attorney Alvin Bragg in Manhattan, President Trump raised $53 Million in 24 hours from online digital fundraising platforms, signaling the strength of his campaign to save America!

Elise posted about this incredible feat on X, saying:

“The historic surge of support for President Donald Trump, totaling nearly $53 million in donations, shows the American people taking action against the unAmerican weaponization of our justice system and illegal election interference. Yesterday’s rigged verdict exposed the deep-rooted rot within Joe Biden’s corrupt Justice Department, which is an arm of the failing Democrat Party. The American people know that the only verdict that matters comes on Election Day, when the people will elect President Trump in November to save America.”

Elise also released a statement regarding her work to hold Joe Biden’s political henchmen accountable, saying:

“As a senior Member of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, I will be working with Rep. Jim Jordan and my House Republican colleagues to hold Joe Biden’s corrupt political henchmen accountable.”

ICYMI: Last week, following the announcement of the rigged verdict in the New York City Biden Trial against President Donald J. Trump, Elise released the following statement –

“Today’s verdict shows how corrupt, rigged, and unAmerican the weaponized justice system has become under Joe Biden and Democrats. I fully support President Trump appealing this decision and look forward to a higher New York Court to deliver justice and overturn this verdict. The facts are clear: this was a zombie case illegally brought forward by a corrupt prosecutor doing Joe Biden’s political bidding in a desperate attempt to save Joe Biden’s failing campaign. The case hinged on the testimony of a convicted felon who was disbarred for lying and perjured himself when he lied to Congress. This sham trial was overseen by a corrupt and highly unethical Judge who is a Biden donor and whose own family has directly profited from this case. This corrupt Democrat Judge imposed a clearly unconstitutional gag order on President Trump and his team. This corrupt Democrat Judge routinely sided with the prosecution and prevented President Trump’s defense from calling a critical witness to the stand. The prosecution team that brought forward this case consisted of a Soros-funded Far Left Democrat District Attorney on a vendetta, Democrat political operatives, and Democrat donors. From the start, the weaponized scales of justice were stacked against President Trump. Joe Biden, Far Left Democrats, and their stenographers in the mainstream media have made it clear they will stop at nothing to prevent President Trump from returning to the White House. We must work around the clock to ensure President Trump is victorious this November to save America from Biden’s failed Far Left Democrat agenda and the illegal weaponization of the justice system against the American people.”

Elise Highlights Her Work With E-PAC

On Thursday, the National Journal covered Elise's historic efforts to support and elect Republican women through E-PAC.

In 2019, only 13 Republican women served in the House of Representatives, but as of December 2023, with Congresswoman Celeste Maloy's swearing-in, there are now a historic 36!

In 2022, E-PAC-endorsed candidates flipped critical House Republican majority-making seats, including Jen Kiggans in VA-02, Lori Chavez De Remer in OR-05, Anna Paulina Luna in FL-13, and Monica De La Cruz in TX-15. Read an excerpt from the article below:

“House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik’s PAC, once an insurgent organization dedicated to electing conservative women and bucking party leadership, has transformed into a de facto leadership campaign arm as the New York Republican climbs the ranks.

“We’re working as one team with the NRCC and our colleagues in leadership,” Stefanik told National Journal in an interview. “We think that’s a strength, because they know that E-PAC has been an incredibly strong pillar and driver of building this majority.”

The 2018 midterms decimated the House majority for Republicans, as voters around the country delivered a scathing referendum on Donald Trump’s first two years in office. Democrats flipped 41 seats, elevating Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the first female speaker, back to the top perch of the House. In that same election, 107 women won election or reelection to the House. Almost all of them were Democrats.

Facing this disparity, Stefanik, at the time recruitment chair for the National Republican Congressional Committee and one of 13 GOP women in the House, decided she needed to spearhead the movement to elect more conservative women—with or without leadership’s permission. She formed E-PAC in 2018 to give Republican women the resources they needed to win competitive GOP primaries.”

Elise and GOP Leadership Slam Biden on Amnesty Executive Order

This week Joe Biden rolled out his most recent executive order, which he presented as a ‘border solution’ – this executive order is nothing more than a desperate political stunt to try and stabilize his plummeting poll numbers.

Elise slammed Biden’s failure to secure our borders, saying:

“Your “part” was opening our borders to allow over 9.5 million illegal crossings into our country. Now Americans are going to elect President Trump to fix your mess.

Everyone can see right through your hollow election year charade”

The Truth About Biden's Amnesty Order:

Enshrines “Catch-and-Release” into Federal Law.
Allows at least 5,000 illegal entries per day—over 1.8 million per year.
New authority for Biden to grant asylum to unlimited numbers of illegals—path to making Biden migrants into voting citizens.
Grants millions of work permits for Biden illegals stealing jobs & wages from American workers.
Provides taxpayer funds to fly & house illegal aliens.
Replaces immigration judges with “asylum officers” to rubberstamp fake asylum claims.
Provides taxpayer-funded attorneys to illegal aliens.

Elise released a joint statement with Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Majority Whip Tom Emmer:

“President Biden's Executive Order is nothing more than a desperate political stunt to try and stabilize his plummeting poll numbers.

“From his first day in office, Biden has worked to implement a failed open border agenda which created this historic humanitarian and national security catastrophe. He has turned every American community into a border community and opened our country to violent criminals, terrorists, cartels, and poisonous drugs.

“This Executive action does nothing to end parole abuses or catch-and-release. It continues the administration’s abuse of the CBP One app. It does not reimplement President Trump’s successful Remain in Mexico policy. It provides no new resources for border patrol. It does nothing to deport the millions who have poured over our open border every year since Biden took office. And it will still allow scores of additional illegal immigrants to flood into our country before any so-called shutdown authority kicks in.

“Over a year ago, House Republicans passed the Secure the Border Act, which would actually fix the problem, but Joe Biden and Senate Democrats continue to drag their feet on taking meaningful action, sacrificing the safety and security of our communities.

“Americans can see right through Biden’s election-year stunt.”

Elise Celebrates Bill Providing Additional Funding for an East Coast Missile Defense Site

This week Elise celebrated the passage of an appropriations bill that provides additional funding for an East Coast Missile Defense Site. In a statement, Elise said:

"Building upon my successful efforts to secure Fort Drum as the location for a third missile defense site on the East Coast, I am proud to deliver an additional $10 million for the planning and design of this third site through the passage of this appropriations bill. Fort Drum is uniquely positioned to house our nation’s third missile defense interceptor site and first on the East Coast which will improve the U.S. homeland missile defense architecture to better protect against adversaries’ increasing and evolving ballistic missile capabilities."

Elise Commemorates the 80th Anniversary of D-Day

Thursday marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The extraordinarily brave heroes of this mission helped free a continent and end a devastating war. Elise commemorated the 80th anniversary of D-Day on X posting this statement:

“Today, we remember and honor the Greatest Generation who faced and overcame the unimaginable on D-Day June 6, 1944 to save the world from tyranny.

We proudly honor these heroes who bravely secured our freedom at home and liberated Europe.”
