I think this looks so good on Stefanik. She is one of the worst of the worst of the current crop of cynical grifters and hate merchants vying for PAC money to make herself rich.
The turning point for me was watching Stefanik go after the women university presidents in a hearing last year. A Congresswoman, who graduated from Harvard, harassing Ivy League university presidents for their "elitism"? Really? If those university presidents would have been politically savvy, hey would have asked Stefanik about the Republican's repeated and valid complaints about conservative free speech being suppressed on college campuses over the past couple of decades. Stefanik is the ultimate hypocrite because the minute that there was campus speech that she didn't like, she got on the bandwagon claiming that universities needed to crack down on free speech.
Stefanik is a few fish short of looking like a seal barking and clapping her flippers for a meal.
Pat Schroeder and Dianne Feinstein must be rolling over in their grave.
After the spectacle of the Clarence Thomas hearings in 1991, where a committee of old white guys accused a woman who had been sexually harassed of being a slut or a liar or someone with a personal vendetta, a group of women were elected to Congress in the next election cycle. These were serious women who went on to have distinguished careers in Congress.
Then came Virginia Foxx. Then Marsha Blackburn. And then came the MAGA and America First women. At least Joni Ernst has the dignity to pack up her hog castrating tools and go back to Iowa.
I'm not sure what to think of these women.
Is this like the Log Cabin Republicans, where the party has searched for a few tokens whose elevators fall a few floors short of the penthouse so that they can claim that they are a "diverse party"?
Or is this just another way to make us all more cynical? These women who fall in line, whether they are true believers or sycophants like Stefanik: are they intended to taint the reputation of all women in political office? Are they supposed to make use think that women can't be serious legislators?
