Former No. 3 House Republican Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) recirculated Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) statement on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack after the current House GOP Conference Chair reportedly deleted it off her website.

On Saturday morning, Cheney posted on X that she was informed that Stefanik deleted her statement about Jan. 6 where she called for the Jan. 6 perpetrators to be prosecuted “to the fullest extent of the law.” Cheney also shared the screenshot of Stefanik’s statement.

In her statement on the Capitol riot, Stefanik characterized the violence as “anti-American” and called it a “tragic.”

Stefanik has since changed the way she describes those who stormed the Capitol.

During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in early January, she stated she had “concerns about the treatment of Jan. 6 hostages.”

      Or his reputation will fade and get rehabbed like Reagan and Dubya, especially when the next Republican administration is monstrous in new and terrible ways.
