Why Stefanik’s new ethics complaint against Judge Merchan matters
"I continue to believe that no one should want to be vice president this badly, but just as notably, it's unsettling to see a congressional leader engage in such tactics. We are talking about an episodic campaign in which Stefanik is targeting those who are engaged in administering justice — not because they've done anything wrong, but because they might play a role in holding one of her partisan allies accountable..."
