Elise Stefanik Embraces White Nationalist Meme

“Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the No. 3 House Republican, is pushing the notion in Facebooks ads that President Biden and fellow Democrats are seeking a ‘permanent election insurrection’ by expanding pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants,” the Washington Post reports.

“The ad depicts Biden with people who appear to be migrants reflected in the sunglasses he is wearing.”

“The language in the ads echoes that of far-right commentators, including Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, who have advanced a ‘replacement theory’ that says liberals are seeking to replace White citizens with non-White immigrants who are inclined to support the Democratic Party.”
