New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has now deleted a statement condemning Jan. 6 rioters.
Following Liz Cheney’s post on X (formerly known as Twitter) calling out Stefanik’s flip-flopping on the issue, the statement has since vanished from Stefanik’s official website.
Cheney added the hashtag “#nomorecrackpots” to her post as well.
Stefanik, who took over Cheney’s position as House Republican Conference chair after the riots, has recently called the DOJ probe into those involved “baseless witch hunt investigations.” Stefanik has also called those convicted and jailed for their actions “hostages.”
On Tuesday, Cheney shared the link to Stefanik’s original statement.
“I fully condemn the dangerous violence and destruction that occurred today at the United States Capitol,” Stefanik’s post reads. “Americans have a constitutional right to protest and freedom of speech, but violence in any form is absolutely unacceptable and anti-American. The perpetrators of this un-American violence and destruction must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
