The New York Republican said the U.S. needs to be the 'moral clarity on the U.N. Security Council and at the United Nations at large'

North Country Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday as President Trump’s pick for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) clashed during her confirmation hearing with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) over comparisons of Elon Musk’s gesture during an Inauguration Day speech to a Nazi salute.

Elise Stefanik was a key defender of then-President Donald Trump during his impeachment proceedings and she later grilled university presidents over what she described as antisemitism.

At a hearing to confirm her as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Elise Stefanik vowed to represent Trump's 'America first' agenda.

U.S. President Donald Trump "sees great promise in the United Nations if it focuses on its founding mission of international peace and security," his nominee to be ambassador told the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.

Rep. Elise Stefanik is expected to champion President Donald Trump's "America first" agenda on the global stage.

During her Senate confirmation hearing, President Trump’s pick for ambassador to the United Nations said she was willing to leverage U.S. contributions to force changes in pursuit of his “America First” agenda.

President Donald Trump's pick for U.N. ambassador is sharing insight into his direction for foreign relations in a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday.
