Summary

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik—U.S. Representative for New York’s 21st Congressional District & House Republican Conference Chair—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and recaps her participation in yesterday’s House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing where she grilled former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over his controversial 2020 policy which mandated nursing homes take in patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 and the state’s subsequent undercounting of nursing home deaths. Plus, Stefanik reacts to Tuesday night’s presidential debate. She notes: “it was a three on one debate” with the moderators frequently coming to Kamala Harris’s defense. Rep. Stefanik believes Donald Trump won the debate even in the face of diversity—pointing to reaction from undecided voters, whose opinions differed wildly from pundits within the mainstream media.
