Stefanik turns her Back on the Blue

While Elise Stefanik was cowering in fear as Capitol police officers fought to protect her from harm, residents of her Congressional District had already assaulted police, broken into the Capitol and were prowling the halls of our seat of government.

We learned about 2 of them this week just days before Stefanik gave a giddy speech to the crowd at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. This is what was reported in The Hill:

“Roger and Reynold Voisine, two brothers from upstate New York, were arrested Thursday and charged with attacking police officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.  

Both brothers face felony charges, including civil disorder and assaulting an officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon. The Voisines had a variety of weapons — including a pipe, a police shield and a table leg studded with nails — at the violent mob, according to prosecutors.”

These brothers from Plattsburgh and Nicholville, south of Massena, violently attacked police with their own protective equipment and a club studded with nails. There’s more.

“Reynold Voisine was spotted dragging an officer from the Lower West Terrace Tunnel and into a mob of rioters. He stayed in the area and used a handheld radio to communicate while the mob reportedly assaulted officers inside the tunnel, where some of the most violent attacks against law enforcement took place. Then, he allegedly threw a crutch, a blue pole and then a crutch again at the officers. He also used a stolen riot shield to slam into the police line, the release said.  

Meanwhile, Roger Voisine had a two-way radio, a tripod and a GoPro camera mounted on a stick on his person in a manner that suggested he was documenting the event. He allegedly threw a pipe at the officers and attempted to drag them into the mob. He also “picked up a wooden table leg with protruding nails, swung it twice at officers and then aggressively threw it at another officer,” according to the news release.”

Stefanik reminds us at every chance that she “Backs the Blue.” And on January 6th the Blue had her back. They were being violently assaulted, tased with their own equipment, punched, kicked, stomped and clubbed by among others 2 of her constituents.

Massively overwhelmed police fought to protect Stefanik, our Congress, and our government.

But Stefanik does not Back the Blue. For years now she has defended the perpetrators of violence against police on January 6th. Her catch phrase is lip service.

If you work in law enforcement DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK on Stefanik. She will run and hide while thugs attack you as you are doing your job. Then she will remain silent as the perpetrators call the attack a “day of love.”
