Elise Stefanik Asked For 2020 Reading Suggestions. It Did Not Go Well.

By Red Painter — January 1, 2020

On Monday New York Rep. Elise Stefanik asked people on Twitter to recommend reading material for 2020. Here is the innocuous pair of tweets:

As a Member of the @EdLaborGOP, I believe passionately in the importance of reading & #literacy. At the end of every year, I share my personal reading list which my constituents ask me about during the year. Thx #NY21 fellow bookworms for your recs! https://t.co/BsNc3Xekjk 📚🐛👩🏻‍🏫

I do not think she got the responses she expected:

1 - The Constitution
2 - Your Oath of Office
3 - House/Committee Rules (for the next time you pull a stunt with @DevinNunes)
4 - Becoming by @MichelleObama (great story of a CLASSY woman)#IMPOTUS #Impeached45

This made me chuckle, although they may be better suited for Donald Trump:

The most comprehensive list, which truthfully applies to all of Congress:

(1) The US Constitution.

(2) Your Oath of Office.

(3) Transcripts of the under-oath testimony of Intel and Judiciary Committee witnesses.

(4) Trump’s insane, demented, unhinged tweets.

(5) The Mueller Report.

(6) Your Oath of Office... again.
