Rep. Elise Stefanik’s spin on Trump’s cognitive decline was so dangerous that it ought to provoke questions on her personal cognitive state.
Rep. Stefanik tried to clarify away Trump’s lack of ability to tell apart between Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley by saying, “That isn’t a mix-up. The reality is — Nikki Haley is relying on Democrats, just like Nancy Pelosi, to try to have a desperate showing in New Hampshire. President Trump has not a step. He is a stronger candidate, stronger than he is today than he was in 2016 and was in 2020. Compare that to Joe Biden’s weakness.”

As a substitute of confronting the difficulty head-on, folks like Stefanik are making it worse with their embarrassing efforts to spin actuality.
