GOP Rep's Attempt To Own The Libs With 'Censorship Is Communism' Tweet Instantly Backfires

GOP Rep's Attempt To Own The Libs With 'Censorship Is Communism' Tweet Instantly Backfires

New York Republican Representative and chair of the House Republican Conference Elise Stefanik tweeted some words of wisdom on Sunday.

Stefanik became GOP House chair after Wyoming Republican Representative Liz Cheney was stripped of the title for criticizing former President Donald Trump.


Stefanik posted:

"Free Speech is American"

"Censorship is Communism."

It went over about as well as one might expect.

The tweet came as around the United States the Republican party is actively trying to censor free speech and ban books—Stefanik included.

A recent statement from Stefanik called Critical Race Theory "radical and racist" and condemned it being taught in schools—at grade levels where it has never been taught.

The New York Republican stated:

"It is absolutely inappropriate and unacceptable that New York is using COVID funds to force the radical and racist Critical Race Theory agenda on our children."

Another prime example of the GOP'S attempts at censorship is Florida's so-called "Don't Say Gay" law which prohibits any instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity in grades K-3 and greatly limits it for older children.

Twitter users pointed out the hypocrisy of Stefanik's assertion as the GOP has been behind most attempts at legislating censorship for the last several decades.


A few even used her own words against her, because there's always a tweet.


Others chose to highlight the right's tendency to—erroneously—call anything they either don't like or don't understand "Communism."

Hypocrisy doesn't pay when there is an easily obtainable record.

The internet is forever, after all.

Stefanik's account tweeted two sentence quips every two hours on Sunday.

The Republican Representative has yet to respond to her detractors on any of the tweets.

The exchange occurred after host Rebecca Quick pressed Louisiana Republican and former physician Bill Cassidy on how his party intended to fund the “trillion-dollar tax cuts” sought by President Donald Trump.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
