Trump confirms NYer Elise Stefanik will be his enforcer to the UN: ‘Strong, tough, and smart'

[NY Post] Suck it, Mark Cuban
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik has accepted President-elect Donald Trump’s offer to be his enforcer as United Nations ambassador, The Post can reveal.

The 40-year-old upstate Republican, who helped force out two Ivy League presidents with her sharp questioning on campus antisemitism, will the lead Trump’s "America first" and pro-Israel message in Turtle Bay.

"I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter," Trump, 78, said in a statement to The Post Sunday night.

Stefanik, the No. 4 House Republican, has been a close Trump ally, including serving on his ceremonial defense team in 2020 during his first impeachment trial for pressuring Ukraine to investigate alleged Biden family corruption.

The Harvard grad worked to turn the tables on what she called the "Biden Crime Family" and has regularly appeared on TV to drive home the Republican positions on issues — setting up a likely a contrast from the outgoing UN ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who rarely courted media attention.

"I am truly honored to earn President Trump’s nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations," Stefanik said in a statement confirming her acceptance of the role.

"During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate."

#5 Elise gets to burnish her international resume and live close to home. She was a good soldier, but isn’t probably the person you would want to tear a federal agency down to the studs and eject all the parasites and traitors.

#6 Wait. Why waste Stefanik's talents on that cesspool? Give her a job where she can actually accomplish something worthwhile.

#7 What Frank said. It will be hard to replace her with someone as good as she is.
