Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) came under withering attack for daring to stand up to House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff (D-CA)
Stefanik called him out for trying to shut down her questioning of a witness during the impeachment hearings as well as the lack of transparency and the way he has conducted the hearings.
In response she was attacked by George Conway, a fervent anti-Trump person but also the husband of Kellyanne Conway counselor to the president. Conway said Stefanik was “lying trash,” promoted a fake picture of her and encouraged people to donate money to her opponent. As a result, some on the left like Chrissy Teigen, Joan Walsh and Hollywood liberals attacked Stefanik calling her trash, they started a hashtag “TrashyStefanik” and donated money to her opponent, Tedra Cobb. Cobb claimed that she had received a million dollars over a few days.
But it turns out that the effort to attack her may have only served to stiffen her resolve, the resolve of her supporters and raised her profile.
She continued to show how empty the Democratic claims were, pointing out how the witnesses testified there was no quid pro quo, no bribery or any impeachable offense.

Both Morrison & Volker agree: no quid pro quo, no bribery, and no extortion!pic.twitter.com/Yrd30BILyK

Today we heard from Amb. Sondland that @realdonaldtrump told him: “No quid pro quo. I want nothing.”
No evidence of impeachable offenses, but the partisan process continues.
And Adam Schiff still won’t let us call the whistleblower or Hunter Biden to testify. pic.twitter.com/LAfwofDMQ3

She announced that she had been able to raise $500,000 in just two hours on Thursday night so it sounds like if people keep it up they can far outstrip the donations to her opponent.
THANK YOU to all of my supporters — we raised $500K in UNDER 2 HOURS last night! I am deeply honored and overwhelmed by all of your support and will continue standing up for FACTS and #NY21. Join me in this fight and donate today! https://t.co/tVW9NvZSMx

On top of that, she was praised by President Donald Trump on “Fox and Friends” as a new rising Republican “star” for standing up for the truth.
Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for the kind words on @foxandfriends this morning. I was proud to stand up for facts and transparency during the impeachment hearings this week. WATCH 👇 and DONATE to help me hold Adam Schiff accountable at https://t.co/tVW9NvZSMx! pic.twitter.com/dMxNfM02vd

But crazy leftists are still at it, trending another hashtag against her today. All because she stood up for fair process. They really have an issue with strong women and don’t see the hypocrisy of trying to attack a woman by calling her “trash.”
Here’s the producer of “The Ellen Show” promoting more efforts against her.
Breaking:
Just got word from @EliseStefanik that she would not like #ByeByeElise to trend.
Do not send a tweet with the hashtag #ByeByeElise
It would only boost the highly qualified and honorable @TedraCobb
So please DO NOT use the hashtag #ByeByeElise

But they don’t seem to get how carpet-bagging Hollywood support from out of the state didn’t help people when they tried it before with Beto O’Rourke, Jon Ossoff and others. Hopefully, it means they’re just burning their money.
Stefanik won by 14 points against Tedra Cobb in NY’s 21st district in 2018.
