A series of tweets from various users, including Liz Cheney and news outlets such as Politico and The Daily Beast, report that New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (@EliseStefanik) has deleted her January 6, 2021 statement in which she condemned the Capitol rioters, stating they 'must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' The deletion came to light after Liz Cheney highlighted the removal in a tweet. Reports indicate that Stefanik has erased her entire press release history prior to 2023, with attempts to access previous statements leading to an 'ERROR' message. This has escalated into a public dispute between Cheney and Stefanik, with Cheney calling Stefanik a 'total crackpot' and accusing her of attempting to cover up her past criticism of the January 6 attack.
