Opinion: Stefanik should resign over role in D.C. attack, says Potsdam woman

To the Editor:

The attempted coup in the US capitol, driven by the big lie that the presidential election was stolen, was incited by the sitting president, shored up by his enablers (including Stefanik), resulted in chants to kill Pence, the death of a policeman (and others) and the desecration of the Capitol Building.

Elise Stefanik made a choice to support the big lie that the presidential election results were not valid despite the certification of the votes by each state and the failure of legal challenges to hold up in courts.

Stefanik and her political cronies added legitimacy to the lie which misled her constituents and helped incite domestic terrorists. It was a self-serving and anti-democratic decision. But now people are dead and who will answer for that, Ms. Stefanik? You need to resign immediately.
