Stefanik Solemnly Swears to Defend Trump from Constitution

With House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy officiating, Stefanik raised her right hand and rested her left on a first edition of “The Art of the Deal.”

I, Elise Stefanik, do solemnly swear to preserve, protect, and defend Donald J. Trump from the Constitution of the United States,” she recited.

Stefanik became emotional as she finished the oath, in which she promised to defend Trump “from all enemies, foreign and domestic—but especially from that jerk Liz Cheney.”

checking out various books of interest I always took time to sit and read through the
latest edition of Punch*, the weekly humor and satire magazine from England. Nobody
does satire like the Brits and I was entertained and enlightened at the same time. Thanks.
