John,

I’m sad and I’m angry. Here’s why:

On Thursday, Stefanik said she is “ultra-MAGA” and “proud of it.”

On Friday, Stefanik advocated that babies who are in US custody at the border be denied baby formula, effectively starving them–in violation of basic morality and US law.

Later that day, she blamed Democrats and “pedo grifters” for the nationwide baby formula shortage–in a dog-whistle to QAnon conspiracy theorists.

On Saturday, a white nationalist targeted a Black community and murdered ten people. He was radicalized and motivated by the “great replacement theory,” the heinous theory that says that immigrants and people of color are going to “replace” white Americans. Earlier this fall, Stefanik promoted replacement theory in a fundraising ad.

Today, she double-downed on replacement theory.

Stefanik, the elected official who represents my home and who is the chief communicator of the House Republican conference, said these things.

Stefanik has always been unfit to hold elected office, but her behavior over the past 96 hours totally disqualifies her. She is one of the most dangerous Republicans in the country. She knows exactly what she is doing, and is doing it only to benefit herself.

Let us turn our sadness and righteous anger into action. Let us, together, work to remove Stefanik from office to protect our country and our neighbors.
