one day will explain
how and why she morphed into
a total crackpot

Cheney recently took to social media to share a statement made by Stefanik on January 6, 2021, condemning the Capitol rioters, a statement which has since been scrubbed from Stefanik’s official website. “I’m told that, in response to my prior tweet, @EliseStefanik deleted her 1/6/21 statement,” Cheney wrote, “that those who stormed the Capitol ‘must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’”
In her original condemnation, Stefanik said, “I fully condemn the dangerous violence and destruction that occurred today at the United States Capitol,” further stating that “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.”
Cheney continued by questioning Stefanik’s integrity, “One day [Stefanik] will have to explain how and why she morphed into a total crackpot. History, and our children, deserve to know.” The tension between Cheney and Stefanik encapsulates the Republican Party’s struggle with the legacy of January 6. While Cheney has committed herself to preventing Trump’s return to power, Stefanik has embraced the former president’s narrative, describing the Department of Justice’s probe into the riot as “baseless witch hunt investigations.” Stefanik’s defense of those convicted in relation to the riot, including referring to them as “hostages,” stands in stark contrast to her earlier stance.
