McConnell Meets With Representative Elise Stefanik

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today on his meeting with Representative Elise Stefanik:

"I was glad to meet today with President-elect Trump's nominee to serve as Representative of the United States to the United Nations, Representative Elise Stefanik. The world's largest international organization is in dire need of a wake-up call, and Representative Stefanik is uniquely well-suited to deliver it.

"In a forum corrupted by authoritarians where cowardly majorities hector the embattled Jewish state of Israel, the next U.S. Ambassador must speak with uncompromising moral clarity.

"I am particularly encouraged that the President-elect's nominee shares my commitment to holding UNRWA accountable for its role in the horrors of October 7th and keeping U.S. taxpayer dollars clear of such vile complicity.

"I look forward to the Senate's timely consideration of Representative Stefanik's nomination. I hope and expect she will be a proud proponent of an American foreign policy based on peace through strength."
