Hey, y'all, Tim Miller from the Bullwark here. You know, if my old friend, my old colleague, Elise Tephanic, gets brutally booed multiple times at a local event, you know, we've got to do a video about it. Old Elise, you might remember her as having been the moderate anti-Trump congresswoman. She didn't like Trump so much. She wouldn't even say his name up until, like, 2018, who then turned full MAGA, sucked up to Trump, did everything possible to, to, garner his goodwill, endorsed him early, even after the insurrection. We see past the left's politics of personal destruction. We have exposed the corrupt and complicit mainstream media, and we must take our country back in 2024 by re-electing

President Donald J. Trump. Gets nominated to be the UN ambassador, and then, oops, Donald had to pull it back. And I said, Lees, would you do me a favor? We cannot take a chance. We have a slim margin. Because Donald only cares about Donald, and he needed the vote in the house, and they were worried that they might lose the seat, and they couldn't get past the only one big bill that they were going to pass. Anyway, so Lisa is back in Congress. I haven't heard as much from her. You know, she's kind of tapered off now that shouting and saying things on social media is not a path for her to additional power. And yet, she also is apparently afraid to see her own constituents, afraid to be confronted

by her constituents, according to some of her constituents, like her office doesn't even respond to them. Like they just, she is treated like she is some royalty on high who should not deigned have to respond to complaints from the people that she's there to represent, right? Because in Lee's mind, she only represents MAGA voters, I guess. She does not, like, a representative for voters. It's a pretty dark and ugly view of the world that Elise has these days. And it's kind of reflected in how she looks and sounds.

One of those things where the inside dark is reflected on the outside. But I want to show you some of the highlights from this because I got a kick out of it. And she deserved it. So let's take a book. Our Congresswoman from New York 21, Elise Stefani. That was just the first round, brutally booed. She gets away from the lectern, walks to the side of the stage. Very mad, very mad.

And then she whispers to or talks to one of the guys there in the program, goes back up, tries again to talk again, good boot again. Let's watch that. Stefani stepped up to address the crowd twice. Both times the protesters booed her. Oh, don't shush us. Oh, that's a shame. So she got the double boo.

So she got the double boo pushed off the stage. I got to tell you, the complaints that our constituents have are legit. Let's just play one of them. Here's a local report by WPTZ. Shout out to WPTCZ up there in upstate New York. Well, at least has not shown up in our district in months and months. She won't hold a town hall. She won't take questions.

She's never at her office. People show up at her office constantly, doors closed. They won't even, her representatives, her employees won't talk to her constituents. So this was the first appearance and opportunity we had to just. Just let her know that we're unhappy. So as you see there, I mean, obviously, who knows about all of those voters? Maybe some of them were never Trumpers like me or like Elise was at one point. A lot of progressives out there for sure, a lot of liberals.

But they have legit complaints. You know, they don't want ICE menacing people in their neighborhoods. And they want a representative who actually engages with them. Like, this is what happens when you. decide that you no longer represent your entire district and you only represent the handful of sycophants that are obsessed with Donald Trump and that are part of your little cult. Because if you do that, if you no longer engage in the community, if you no longer, you know, try to solve people's problems, if instead you just decide to become a human troll that exists

to puff up, you know, the president of the United States and issue mean tweets and withering attacks on your foes. If all you want to do is drink lib tears, well, there are some consequences associated with that. I mean, you know, there's some rewards. She got elected to Congress. She can get invited to the Naval Observatory anytime she wants, I bet J.D.'d have her over.

He's not doing anything. So, you know, there are plenty of benefits. She got nominated for something. She might get nominated or something again when the math changes in the house. If you win the math changes in the house. So, like, you get stuff by being a sycophant. You get political power within Washington. But you also lose some stuff by becoming a sycophant, right?

Be becoming a nasty troll. You lose your connection to the people you're supposed to represent who didn't vote for you. You lose your ability to go. into nonpartisan spaces and be a serious person, right? Like, once you've beclowned yourself, what you've put on the clown nose, you can't then decide, well, okay, I get to take the clown nose off when I want to and you have to respect me. You know, when I come to this, you know, event that honors a public servant that preceded me

who has passed on and we have a bipartisan gathering where people come here to honor this person. I'm sorry, you don't just to take the clown nose off for that because everybody in the crowd knows that you're still a clown. They're going to treat you like one. They're going to throw a pie in your face. Not literally. I don't support throwing any foods.

It's a deal that she's been happy with it many times. But in these situations, she gets mad about it. Elise DeFonik gets mad. She wants to be treated with dignity. Let's watch. Today's event was about honoring John Zerlo. It is a disgusting disgrace

that this is what the far left does rather than understanding that his family has been through a tremendous amount. It was about honoring his legacy. Those liberals, they have no respect. You didn't do anything that garnered respect. You didn't try to get their respect. You insult them.

You dismiss them. You don't respond to their concerns, even though that's your job. You're mean and nasty. Sorry. It's not a respect. It's a two-way strong. street. You know? And if you're going to be a politician like Lee Stefanik, who sells out

all over past principles and just does unhinged social media posts and nasty statements about how awful all their political foes are, well, then they're going to, they're going to respond in kind. Sorry. So that's it. Should we watch the booze one more time? Why don't we watch the booze one more time. Our Congresswoman from New York 21, Elise Stefani. Thank you, Mark, for that kind introduction. It is truly humbling to be here to commemorate and honor the great John Zerlo. You know, I'm going to turn this back to you, Mark.
