Rep. Elise Stefanik, now third-ranked Republican | USA TODAY

House Republicans have elected N.Y. Rep. Elise Stefanik to the third-ranking leadership position.

Stefanik of New York was elected conference chair, to serve with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana. Liz Cheney was ousted from the post by a voice vote Wednesday.

Speaking Friday after the vote, Stefanik said called herself a “proud, conservative Republican" who would help lead her party to victory in the mid-term elections next year.

A woman who will change her beliefs and ethical standards on a dime as long as it will advance her career. I always love to go back and watch video of all these Trump supporters and hear what they had to say about Donald Trump before they jumped on the insurrectionist Trump train.

Third ranked in a second rate party. How aspirational.

So, the GOP rule is loyalty to trump above all. Sounds quite fascist to me.

Being promoted for lying doesn't make for 'profiles in courage'.

Her eyes don’t smile which means she’s not genuine with her smiles and she is faking it. Don’t trust her and be ready for some bad things from her.

She is the Jeckyl and Hyde of the congress. RIP this present version of the party.
