President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as ambassador to the United Nations went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this week. New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik told the committee she will implement the president’s America First strategy while reviewing U.
Elise Stefanik complains about ‘antisemitic rot’ at the UN but is just fine with Elon Musk making a Nazi salute during Puppet Trump’s inauguration.
Elise Stefanik was a key defender of then-President Donald Trump during his impeachment proceedings and she later grilled university presidents over what she described as antisemitism.
Rep. Elise Stefanik is expected to champion President Donald Trump's "America first" agenda on the global stage.

Elise Stefanik told Sen. Chris Murphy that she is more worried about a senator wasting time during the confirmation hearing for a UN Ambassador asking about it than she is about Elon Musk appearing to do a Nazi salute.
“No. Elon Musk did not do those salutes,” Stefanik replied. She said that while she was not at the inaugural rally where Musk made the move, she had been to “many” rallies with him and knows he likes to make cheerful gestures. She said it was “simply not the case” that Musk did a Nazi salute.
At a hearing to confirm her as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Elise Stefanik vowed to represent Trump's 'America first' agenda.
During her Senate confirmation hearing, President Trump’s pick for ambassador to the United Nations said she was willing to leverage U.S. contributions to force changes in pursuit of his “America First” agenda.
President Donald Trump's pick for U.N. ambassador is sharing insight into his direction for foreign relations in a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday.
President Trump sees “great promise" in the United Nations, according to his U.N. ambassador nominee Elise Stefanik, who is expected to promise to bring “reform" to the organization.
Rep. Elise Stefanik is likely to face questions at her confirmation hearing Tuesday to become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations about her lack of foreign policy experience, her strong support for Israel and her views on funding the U.N. and its many agencies.
