Elise Stefanik expertly debunks Democrats’ ‘insurrection’ falsehoods
Elise Stefanik Expertly Handles False Claims About Jan. 6 “Insurrection”
In a captivating NBC interview on Sunday, Representative Elise Stefanik showcased her adeptness in countering Democrats’ baseless accusations regarding the January 6, 2021 “insurrection.” These claims are being used to criminalize the speech of those who oppose the Democrats’ policies.
At the start of the interview with “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker, a deceptively edited clip from January 6, 2021 was played. Stefanik, however, skillfully addressed the events of that day as “tragic” and emphasized the need to prosecute violent individuals to the fullest extent of the law.
If NBC had presented an honest portrayal of the clip, it would have included the main point of Stefanik’s speech. She called out Democrats for undermining election integrity laws in crucial swing states before the 2020 election. Watch Stefanik’s full remarks here.
Welker attempted to trap Stefanik by asking if she still believed that January 6 was a tragic day and if those responsible should be held accountable. This was an effort to push the false narrative that January 6 was an “insurrection” and justify the ongoing investigation and prosecution of nonviolent protesters by the Biden Department of Justice.
Refusing to take the bait, Stefanik responded by calling out NBC and the biased media for playing only a selective excerpt of her speech. She condemned the violence of both the January 6 protest and the Black Lives Matter riots, while also emphasizing the importance of election integrity and the security of our democracy.

Stefanik also expressed her concerns about the treatment of January 6 detainees and the weaponization of the federal government against conservatives, including President Trump. Peaceful protesters, traditional Catholics, pro-lifers, and Trump supporters have all become targets of the Biden DOJ for exercising their First Amendment rights.
“That’s why I’m proud to serve on the Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Government,” Stefanik stated. “The American people want answers and transparency. They see the double standards in this country, where the rules are different for the Clintons, Bidens, and everyday patriotic Americans.”
Stefanik added, “The real threat to our democracy is these baseless witch hunt investigations and lawsuits against President Trump. It’s undemocratic and it’s shredding our Constitution. And you know who agrees with me, Kristen? The American people. That’s why President Trump is winning in poll after poll against Joe Biden.”
Welker also tried to corner Stefanik by asking if she would vote to certify the results of the 2024 election no matter what they show. Stefanik, once again, refused to fall into the trap and simply stated, “We will see if this is a legal and valid election.”
This response has been twisted by the corporate media to falsely portray Stefanik as anti-democratic. It seems that Welker and her media colleagues fail to understand the purpose of certifying a presidential election, which is to ensure the integrity of the electoral process. Representatives should not commit to certifying or not certifying an election until it has taken place and been conducted lawfully.
Importantly, Stefanik highlighted the fact that Democrats are already interfering in the 2024 election through various means. “So far, we’re seeing Democrats so desperate that they’re trying to remove President Trump from the ballot. That is a suppression of the American people,” Stefanik emphasized.
