Stefanik Becomes Anti-Impeachment Star, Outraises Dem Opponent by More Than 50%

Picture this headline being written about a Democrat: “GOP woman gets outsized role at impeachment hearing.”

That’s not from, say, Vox or Daily Kos. It’s from The Associated Press.

And it’s not just about any random woman.

If you’d have watched the November hearing to which it referred, you’d have realized you were watching the arrival of Rep. Elise Stefanik, a 35-year-old Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, as a major force in Washington.

Stefanik asked pointed questions of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch — the star witness for the Democrats that day, given that she’d been dismissed by the president — and consistently protested being interrupted by committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff’s gavel.

“We know clearly you’re going to interrupt us throughout this hearing,” Stefanik said.

That may not have stopped Schiff, but it clearly gave Stefanik a national profile.

That national profile only increased in the coming days thanks to America’s favorite desperate househusband, George Conway:

According to a curiously married man whose only wider cultural fame has come from attempting to humiliate his wife, Stefanik “is lying trash” and you should donate to her opponent, Tedra Cobb.

Barbra Streisand and the effect named after her probably should have alerted Conway to what happened next: According to the Washington Examiner, Stefanik out-raised Cobb by more than 50 percent.

Stefanik raised $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, meaning she now has $3.4 million cash on hand.

Those are rookie numbers for presidential candidates, but that’s pretty big stuff for a House race, particularly when her opponent got George Conway to sic the flying monkeys of the coastal ActBlue battalion on her.

“Stefanik’s fundraising haul is the largest on record for any candidate in this congressional seat,” a statement from the Stefanik campaign read.
