Stefanik wears brown lipstick in bid for leadership post

Washington — New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik will make her pitch to House Republicans in a candidate forum Thursday evening in her bid to replace Congresswoman Liz Cheney as GOP conference chair, the day after Cheney was unceremoniously ousted from her post due to her persistent criticism of former President Donald Trump.

Stefanik is considered the frontrunner for the post, as she has support from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, prominent Freedom Caucus member Jim Jordan and Mr. Trump himself. No other Republican has formally thrown their hat in the ring, but a few conservative members have raised concerns about Stefanik's credentials. A final vote is expected on Friday.

Congressman Chip Roy, a member of the Freedom Caucus who issued a memo on Tuesday indicating that he would not support Stefanik, is considering a bid for the post. His office said in a statement Wednesday that Roy was "not ruling anything out," arguing that "this must be a contested race — not a coronation."

Congressman Ken Buck, another member of the Freedom Caucus, told reporters on Wednesday that he believed Stefanik was a "liberal" and said he would not support her. When asked who he would prefer to support for conference chair, Buck indicated that he would prefer anyone else.

The term "brown lipstick" is from "The Real Frank Zappa Book." It's another way of calling someone a brown noser.

Serves her right for abandoning her moderate principles to become an open trump ass kisser to move up...not out of merit but out of pure, naked ambition.

I have a feeling this is going hurt her if she doesn't get the position. She will be seen as just an ambitious and unprincipled pol just out for herself with no regard for the nation, her party or democracy.

Why would that matter? Sounds odd to mention. Reminds me of how they'd name Comedy Bang Bang episodes like "Zach Galifianakis Wears Grey Corduroys and Brown Leather Shoes".
