The No. 3 House Republican says Democrats are so obsessed with using the Jan. 6 investigation to settle scores with former President Donald Trump that they are “missing a huge chance” to address the crime, inflation, drug scourge and supply chain shortages that most trouble Americans.
“I think this is the Democrats, you know, really desperate attempt to try to change the narrative away from all these crises that the American people know their policies have created, Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N..Y, told the Just the News, Not Noise television show on Friday night.
Stefanik, the House Republican Conference chairwoman, said the Democrats’ first prime-time hearing on the Jan. 6 riots Thursday night was an “abject failure” and a “partisan political circus” that signaled to America they’d rather obsess over Trump than tackle the country’s most pressing needs like soaring gas and food prices and the fentanyl crisis that is the single leading cause of death of adults between 18 and 45.
“They’re missing a huge chance,” she said in a wide-ranging interview. “Wouldn’t that be nice to have a primetime hearing on any of those crises? That’s what the American people are yearning for. …. That’s how out of touch Democrats are with what’s actually happening across this country.”
Stefanik said Republicans won’t let the Jan. 6 hearings distract them from staying focused on the issues of the present, saying they have created a comprehensive agenda for the fall election modeled after Newt Gingrich’s famous 1994 Contract with America.
“You will see our Commitment with America that House Republicans have been hard at work writing,” she said. “We will be unveiling that in the coming weeks. And this is really important.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
