House Republican Conference chair Elise Stefanik wouldnt dare call out Jan. 6 insurrectionists and their failed attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, won fair and square by President Joe Biden. Thats how she got her current gig, after all. So shes instead stooping to calling undocumented immigrants the actual insurrectionistsand echoing a white supremacist conspiracy theory in the process.
Radical Democrats are planning their most aggressive move yet: a PERMANENT ELECTION INSURRECTION, Elise for Congress claimed in one Facebook ad last week, according to Zachary Mueller of Americas Voice. Their plan to grant amnesty to 11 MILLION illegal immigrants will overthrow our current electorate and create a permanent liberal majority in Washington. Just days later, Stefanik doubled down.
After national press attention condemning Stefanik's use of the white nationalist 'replacement theory' in her Fbook ads warning of an election insurrection ... she has doubled down and is STILL running these ads, Mueller tweeted Monday. In total, Stefanik paid Facebook to show these xenophobic dog-whistle ads to over a million Facebook users, all but 5% of whom lived outside New York with the majority being over the age of 55, he wrote last week. Stefanik is not using these ads to communicate a message to voters in her district, he notes. Instead, she is targeting older Americans across the country who react positively to online racialized fear-mongering.

Daily Kos Dave Neiwert has written extensively on replacement theory, a white supremacist conspiracy theory also has been credited with inspiring multiple acts of mass murder and terrorism, he noted earlier this year. This white supremacist belief has more recently found a home on Fox News via Tucker Carlson. It also found a home among the House Republican caucus way before Stefaniks disgusting ads, echoed by Pennsylvanias Scott Perry in April.
