Adamant Trump defender and potential vice presidential candidate Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said Thursday that if she were in former Vice President Mike Pence’s shoes on Jan. 6, 2021, she “would not have done” what he did.
“I don’t think that was the right approach,” Stefanik told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on The Source, referring to how Pence refused to bend to pressure from Trump and his allies to reject or delay the certification of Electoral College votes.
Stefanik claimed there was “unconstitutional overreach in states like Pennsylvania,” even though several dozen of Trumpworld’s election-related lawsuits across the country were thrown out. His lone initial win—in Pennsylvania—shortened the time frame for voters to “cure” their ballots, but that ruling was subsequently overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
