Cheney Accuses Stefanik of Deleting Condemnation of Jan. 6 Rioters
Stefanik, now referring to Jan. 6 defendants as 'hostages', is under consideration as Trump's potential VP pick.
- Former GOP House chair Liz Cheney accused Elise Stefanik of deleting a 2021 press release condemning the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters.
- Stefanik, who replaced Cheney as House Republican Conference chair, has recently referred to those convicted and jailed for their actions on Jan. 6 as 'hostages'.
- Cheney highlighted Stefanik's change in stance, calling her a 'total crackpot' and questioning her integrity.
- Stefanik's press release archive on her official website now only shows releases from 2023 and 2024, with older statements, including her Jan. 6 condemnation, removed.
- Stefanik is reportedly under consideration to be Trump’s VP pick should he win his bid for the presidency.
