Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who serves on the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, joined Kimberly Guilfoyle to discuss her work to expose the political weaponization of the government against political opponents, including New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg carrying out the Democrats’ bidding against President Donald Trump.
Watch her full interview here.
Highlights of her interview are below:
On the Sham Indictment of Donald Trump by DA Alvin Bragg:
“Alvin Bragg has always sided pro-criminal where he's taking felonies and lowering them to misdemeanors. Now is using the power of his office to go after Joe Biden's political opponents to do the bidding of Joe Biden's Democrat Party, which can't beat President Trump at the ballot box, so they use the weaponization…whether it's the DA’s office, the federal government, or federal agencies to go after innocent Americans.”
“It is the epitome of the work that we're doing on this Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, because if they can go after President Trump, they can go after you, they can go after any American. It’s our job to bring accountability and transparency, which is why we have demanded and will continue to demand that Alvin Bragg testify before Congress under oath.”
“It's the epitome of the politicization, and really the breakdown of equal justice under the law. And fundamentally, when we lose equal justice under the law, we lose our country, we lose our values at what makes America so unique as the world watches us. So this is about saving our country. It is about no matter what your political beliefs, you should never be targeted by these federal agencies, by bureaucrats in these federal departments who want to politically punish you because of your beliefs.”
“We're going to use every tool available to make sure that it's transparent to the American people that includes subpoena power, that includes any type of oversight ability and responsibility that we have.”
On the Biden Crime Family:
“We also are pursuing full transparency when it comes to the corruption in the Biden Administration. Every American deserves to know that. There should be bipartisan interest in this unfortunately, there's not among Democrats on the Hill, because they have served as lap dogs for Joe Biden. They don't want the American people to know the truth, which is that Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family are compromised.”
On the Full Weaponization of the Federal Government Against Hardworking Americans:
“The breadth of this real corruption and weaponization of these federal agencies is so wide. It's not just the DOJ and FBI, you can look at the CDC, you can look at ATF, you can look at so many of these federal agencies where political persecution has unfortunately become part of what bureaucrats are focused on. They're not focused on serving the American people. They work for the American people, not the other way around.”
“The fact that [the FBI] used taxpayer dollars to silence the Hunter Biden laptop story, which we know is true. It was over $3 million that the FBI paid to Twitter to silence those stories. Essentially, that's taxpayer-funded suppression of our fundamental democratic rights to vote in this Constitutional Republic. That is the bombshell of all bombshells, and it's fundamentally unAmerican.”
“I've also been very focused on the Department of Justice targeting parents, and we would not have known that information were it not for Republicans asking tough questions and demanding transparency. It was my question actually, that led to the realization that it was the White House that solicited the letter that it used to target those parents as domestic terrorists.”
“The fact that House Republicans are this one branch of government, we are the last line of defense in terms of saving our country.”
On Advancing House Republicans’ Agenda:
“The media underestimated how much the House Republicans would drive this policy agenda. Already in three months, we've had Joe Biden change his position on the D.C. crime bill that he threatened to veto when we overrode. He had to change his position. We drove that message out of House Republicans.”
“We passed the pulling back of the ESG, the woke rule that Joe Biden wants to put into place, putting our seniors' retirement at risk. Not only did we pass it in the House, the Senate passed it as well, which means bipartisan support. We forced Joe Biden to veto it.”
“There is a list of results we have been able to deliver.”
“Next week, we will be bringing forth an energy package to lower the price of energy costs, which is crushing Americans not only in my district, but across the country as they see their utility bills, their gas bills, and home heating bills continue to go through the roof.”
