The Internet lives forever Elise Stefanik




Rep. Elise Stefanik Then:
...led the defense of Donald Trump in his first impeachment when Trump was accused of extorting Zelensky, holding up needed military aid to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on Trump’s political opponents.


@RepStefanik Today:
My message to the people of @Ukraine and @ZelenskyyUa: The United States of America stands firmly with you against Russia’s unprovoked and heinous attack on your country.

They are just liars. I suppose if you're lawless, lying is no big deal.

That sounds amazingly similar to a certain Mr. Putin, residing in Moscow. It's almost as if they share the same playbook!

C’mon, Dems!!! WHERE are the attack ads?

Running continuously in EVERY day part!!!

Or hadn’t you thought of that yet???

Doesn’t ANYBODY on our side understand the value of messaging and REPETITION of that messaging?????

Learn from Procter & Gamble or some other big commercial advertiser. And that’s something I think our Democrats STILL don’t get, yet.

You have to overrun the airwaves. Dominate THIS kind of “air war” - that is, the airWAVES. WHERE’S your messaging? WHERE have you placed it? Where did you buy commercial time? And on how many networks and other outlets? How many people are you reaching???

And if you did it once, why stop at once? You’re not gonna reach the maximum number of people that way. How about once-times-A MILLION???

Once ain’t gonna do squat.

I once heard a messaging strategy that really sums it up.

1) Tell ‘em what you’re gonna tell ‘em.

2) Then tell ‘em.

3) Then tell ‘em what you just told ‘em.

and are quite the opposite. The Qanon folks have a conspiracy that Putin is the hero saving Ukrainian people from some imaginary nonsense they made up. They're firmly siding with Russia.

And that national TV appearance clearly went to her head, she's doubled down ever since. Those of us in NY-21 who have been paying attention were mortified - even more than usual, if that's possible.
