This is the gravity of the facts @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik has yet to address in a substantive interview, laid out by presidential historian Michael Beschloss (link at end of thread). “This is the only president in American history who incited an insurrection..." #ny21 /1

Trump "incited an insurrection against Congress that could have resulted in assassinations and hostage-taking and, conceivably, the cancellation of a free presidential election and the fracturing of a democracy." #ny21 /2

"It’s very hard to think of a scenario under which someone might imagine some wonderful thing that Donald Trump did that will outshine that. He did, literally, the worst thing that an American president could ever do.” #ny21 /3

.@EliseStefanik @RepStefanik played a significant historic role embracing, advancing and amplifying Trump's false election claims, voting to halt the process toward a peaceful transfer of power even after the deadly riot. #ny21 /4

It may well be Stefanik has arguments and ideas that explain her continued embrace of Trumpism and her own role in the dangerous weeks that followed the election. She has yet to give a substantive interview where she offers any of that. /5 #ny21

Here's the article where the Beschloss quote is found. Journalists in #ny21 should continue to press @EliseStefanik @RepStefanik to explain and take serious questions about her role in Trump's dangerous effort to overturn the election /End #ny21 theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
