Rep. Elise Stefanik Turns Bad Note Into Positive Media 

During a district visit last weekend, Representative Elise Stefanik (NY-21) received a threatening note on her car during a grocery store run.

Evita Duffy, Daughter of Former U.S. Rep. and Fox News Host, Responds to Voting Initiative Backlash

Two weeks ago, University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics conducted an online campaign asking students why voting is important to them. Duffy, the oldest child of former United States Representative Sean Duffy (WI-7) and Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy and a second-year student, was photographed with a whiteboard saying “I vote because … the coronavirus won’t destroy America, but socialism will.” She faced extreme backlash on social media from fellow students, with attacks ranging from her appearance to her character and threats of physical violence. Last week, she published an op-ed in The Chicago Maroon explaining her side of the story. Her story was shared by many prominent conservatives.

Bonus: Sarah Palin Revealed on Fox’s The Masked Singer

The Masked Singer is a singing competition on Fox where famous contestants are put into elaborate costumes and judges are forced to figure out who they are based on their singing voice and clues. Former Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was revealed to be behind the Bear mask this season. However, what grabbed the internet’s attention was her choice in sign-off songs — Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby Got Back. Love her or hate her, but it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like she did, especially as a conservative woman.
