Liz Cheney spoke on the House floor tonight, on the eve of her defenestration from leadership by the Party of Trump. And hmmm, it sounds like she's just getting cranked up. "I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former President's crusade to undermine our democracy," she said. As the old saying goes, film at eleven.
Meanwhile, intriguing details about NY-21's own Trumpette Congresswoman, Elise Stefanik, are emerging as the news media take a closer look. Did you know she was BFFs with Melissa DeRosa?
(In case you don't know who DeRosa is, check out video from any one of Governor Andrew Cuomo's COVID briefings last year. She'll be sitting next to him or just a couple of seats over. Yes, at least when it came to personal friendships that went back to middle school, Elise definitely reached across the aisle.)
But Elise and Melissa are no longer best buds. They broke up over Benedict Donald's first impeachment trial, when Stefanik went completely MAGA — and no doubt Melissa was ticked by Elise's constant criticism of the Governor she called "the worst in America." (Gee, Andrew has his problems, but we can think of lots of govs who are worse.) "By 2021, they were in open war," observes a reporter from TIME who is speaking to others from Stefanik's past, and who promises more revelations soon.
The question in our minds is, which is the real Elise? The press has portrayed her as a reasonable, problem-solving moderate gone astray, seduced by the notion that future paths to power go through Trump. But what if in reality, she was always a Trumpster and a hater at heart? What if the "moderate" Elise was the fake one?
Since Stefanik is as much of a liar as Trump, we may never know. But it's interesting to note that Elise vs. Liz is not the only cat fight in town. We cats PURR with anticipation.
