Today was one of those days, sigh, when we couldn't escape Elise "Elsie" Stefanik on our Twitter feed. Talk about a reason to cut back on social media! But Elsie swung by Meet the Press this morning, and proceeded to debase herself by A) refusing to say she'd certify the 2024 election, and B) calling the convicted and imprisoned January 6 insurrectionists "hostages."
And what did MTP host Kristen Welker do? Stop Elsie in her tracks and ask her to explain? Circle back to it later, pointing out the many judges and juries who have found the Proud Boys and other miscreants worthy of decades in the hoosegow? Terminate the interview? Nope, none of those things. Welker is working very hard at making people miss Chuck Todd, something that once seemed impossible.
Congressman Jamie Raskin took Elsie to task on Twitter, calling on her to apologize to families of actual hostages, and hammering out questions that we wish journalists would ask. "Stefanik must explain herself," Raskin said. "Who's holding the J6 insurrectionists 'hostage'? Does she no longer believe violence is 'unacceptable' and 'must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law'? Does her change of heart have anything to do with wanting to be Trump’s running mate?"
We have news for Elsie and her false-eyelash, Ivanka-hair makeover: Trump will never pick you as his running mate. You can't deliver New York for him, and frankly, you'll never be good-looking enough for him. But to Kristen Welker and other so-called journalists who keep turning in these weak, embarrassing performances, we recommend the shining example by Symone Sanders of what you do when a MAGA nutjob comes on your show. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
