Cowardly Kristen Welker Needs To Step Up Or Get Off The Stage
Earlier today, Kristen Welker sat idly by as Elise Stefanik, the third highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, blithely referred to the criminals who overran the Capitol building on January 6th as "hostages."
In the course of that interview, Stefanik made herself the martyr. "And I believe that we're seeing the weaponization of the federal government against not just President Trump, but we're seeing it against conservatives, we're seeing it against Catholics," she told Welker. "And that's one of the reasons why I'm so proud to serve on the select committee on the weaponization of the government."
REALLY? When is the last time you heard of any persecution of Catholics in this country? Their child-molesting priests got off with no prison time, instead being permitted to fade into retirement. No one is outside Catholic churches claiming they're being replaced, unlike the antisemitism Jews routinely experience. The antisemitism, by the way, that Elise Stefanik claimed to care about. Calling those people "hostages" is an invention out of whole cloth and cynical Stefanik knows it.
Indeed, Stefanik is simply echoing the sentiments of her Lord and Savior Trump, who just last night called for Joe Biden to "release the J6 hostages" during a rally speech in Iowa. Her ache for the VP slot is obvious, and her heartbreak will be complete when it goes to Kristi Noem.
