Quote
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., appeared to accuse Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., of lying about discussing the New York governor's race with her on Tuesday.

Johnson said he was having "conversations" with Stefanik and her fellow New Yorker, Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., when asked whether he discussed the upcoming gubernatorial election with the two potential candidates.

Stefanik cited a Punchbowl News report on Johnson's comments at the public press conference and wrote on X, "This is not true. I have had no conversations with the Speaker regarding the Governor’s race."

EXCERPT

Uh huh...remember what I said about Stefanik not being as happy as she claimed when Trump pulled her back from the U.N. nomination?

And apparently this was her price for agreeing to walk away from the assured UN nomination...

A Congressman from Louisiana has no business interfering in NY state elections.

Let's not go the same way as the Dems ... non-competitive primaries ... or we'll have GOP versions of Hillary, Biden, and Cackles.

The American political process was intended to be grass roots up; not political aristocracy down.

Competitive natural selection will produce the best candidates if the party's membership is representative of much of the general election electorate.

A small party of whacko's will not produce candidates that can compete in general elections.

Well apparently Trump and Johnson promised Stefanik their full-throated support for a run at NY governor in 2026 if she agreed to step back from the UN nomination now and stayed in Congress after giving up several key chairmanships (and in-House political power).  But now that Mike Lawler has expressed interest in running too, Johnson has suddenly gone wobbly on that promise.

She was dumb to take Johnson and Trump at their word.  So this was her brush back.

So, Johnson and Trump are untrustworthy?  That should work well in a socio-economic-political system built upon faith and trust.

A Fishrrman 100% fearless prediction:

Ms. Stefanik, if she chooses to run for governor of New York state, will put up a good fight and make a very good showing, but...
... she's still gonna lose.

(I would enjoy being proven wrong. This post gets saved in my "predictions" archive...)
