WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik joined ‘The Bo Snerdley Show’ on WABC to talk about the left-wing media’s unhinged attacks against her for fighting to secure America’s southern border and secure our elections, how Republicans will earn back the House this November, and House Republicans efforts to address Biden’s baby formula shortage.

Rep. Stefanik On The Media’s Unhinged Attacks Against Her: 

“The fact that the mainstream media is trying to connect my support for securing the border and my opposition to allowing illegal immigrants to vote is somehow related to the mass shooting. It is dangerous, it is disgusting, and it is just not true, and the American people can see through it. But what is most outrageous is it’s Democrats themselves, it’s left-leaning groups, and groups affiliated with the Democratic Party, they have been making the case that demographics are destiny, which is why they want mass amnesty. I’m going to quote the Center for American Progress. They put out a paper in 2013, and it says, ‘Supporting real immigration reform that contains a pathway to citizenship for our nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants is the only way to maintain electoral strength in the future.’…There is nothing racist about wanting a secure border, and in fact, people of all backgrounds agree with that position.”

Rep. Stefanik On How E-PAC Will Help Republicans Win Back The House:

“I take nothing for granted. My constituents will tell you that we run hard on my record of results in my district and we encourage all candidates and my incumbent colleagues to do that. But the fact of the matter is that we are going to see a red wave and Democrats know that. They’re running for the hills, that’s why you see such a high number of Democrat House Members retiring…So I think we’re going to have a great opportunity to win back the House, to flip the Senate, to save this country.” 

Rep. Stefanik On Biden’s Baby Formula Crisis:

“I was proud to lead the effort of speaking out against Joe Biden and the fact that have mishandled and absolutely tried to brush this crisis under the rug. And you want to know why I care so much about it? Not only because I’m hearing directly from constituents, but I’m a new mom. I am a proud mom of my nine-month-old son Sam, and he is formula feed, and I started noticing that the shelves became more and more bare, and when there was the announcement in February of the closure of the Sturgis, Michigan plant I reached out to the FDA, wrote a letter saying what is the plan for making sure we have safe access to formula, and also what is the plan to make sure we have appropriate supplies. We got no response until just last week Bo. So, think about how incompetent Joe Biden’s FDA is. Last week I was proud to lead the House Republicans in blasting this administration for their failure to address this crisis and it was effective because Joe Biden the President of the United States, had to scramble to change his schedule and get on the phone with the formula manufacturers. They should have done that months ago, and we’re are working on making sure we will have a bill that I will be proud to lead to make sure that we are addressing all the mishandling from FDA so this never happens again.”
