Stefanik: I Wouldn’t Have Certified The 2020 Election

February 9, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

Mediaite has the transcript:

STEFANIK: I would not have done what Mike Pence did. I don’t think that was the right approach. I specifically stand by what I said on the House floor. And I stand by my statement, which was–

COLLINS: So, you would have rejected the votes?

STEFANIK: There was unconstitutional overreach in states like Pennsylvania, and I think it’s very important that we continue to stand up for the Constitution and have legal and secure elections, which we did not have in 2020. And tens of millions of Americans agree with me, Kaitlan.

COLLINS: Well, I would say the Supreme Court in the state of Pennsylvania said that Republican-passed changes to their law was constitutional. But it’s notable to hear you say, given you’re in the running to be the vice president, that you would’ve rejected those votes. Come this election, when Vice President Harris is in that position, would you be ok if she rejected the votes if Donald Trump wins?

STEFANIK: Listen, we need to make sure the election is constitutional and legal. We’re talking about Democrats–

COLLINS: It was legal.

STEFANIK: It was not, Kaitlan. It was unconstitutional when there was circumventing state legislatures, unilaterally changing election law. I stand by my statement on the House floor. And again, tens of millions of Americans agree with that statement and have questions about the validity–

COLLINS: Because Republicans are sowing doubt about the election.

STEFANIK: No, no, no, because the American people have rightful questions on the constitutionality.

Read the full transcript. Stefanik was among the 126 House Republicans who joined a Supreme Court brief supporting the overturn of Biden’s win.
