What to Know About Elise Stefanik, Trump’s Pick for U.N. Ambassador
Trump's transition team has nominated Rep. Elise Stefanik, a longtime support of both MAGA extremism and Israeli genocidal campaigns, as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.She is an outspoken advocate of the "any criticism of Israel is 'anti-Semitic' by definition".
She is a terrible pick, and a terrible person.
Look for major increases in Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza whilst the US turns a blind eye.
Alternate take:
Trump shunts MAGA extremist out of Congress to isolated UN post. This ambassadorship is largely a figurehead post in a Trump administration, as Trump routinely overrides foreign policy by tweet.
