If Stefanik is the only person interested in replacing Cheney, so be it.

But don’t tell us she’s some solid MAGA Republican, she’s not.

She’s got a terrible America Last voting record and we haven’t seen anything to suggest that’s going to change any time soon.

Moreover, don’t claim that this is a transparent or fair process to replace Cheney. About a day after McCarthy reversed his position on keeping Cheney (after saving her from Gaetz in early February), Leadership rushed out endorsements to scare away contenders. A bad faith move.

And finally, don’t claim this is a win before seeing who eventually replaces Cheney. If McCarthy is allowed to hand pick his #3, they will be loyal to Kevin and not the voters or the cause of #AmericaFirst. Allowing Kevin to replace an old RINO with a young RINO is not a victory.
