Recently appointed U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Elise Stefanik made abundantly clear how she feels about the United Nations during a speech to the Anti-Defamation League.
Stefanik is a former Republican member of Congress and loyal ally to President Donald Trump who was recently confirmed to her new post. And given the tenor of her Monday morning speech, she does not hold the United Nations in anything but the lowest possible regard.
“We know the United Nations is indeed a deep den of anti-Semitism, infected with the same rampant anti-Israel and anti-American hate and moral rot that has polluted America’s higher education system, especially since the barbaric Hamas attacks of October 7th,” she said. “The U.N. has continuously betrayed Israel, betraying America in the process, acting instead as an apologist for Iran and Iran’s terrorist proxies. Under President Trump, as United States ambassador to the United Nations, the days of propping up organizations that run counter to our interests are long gone.”
“We will no longer fund terrorism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Israel hate,” she continued. “That stops immediately. And I am so proud that President Trump has the strongest record of any American president when it comes to standing with Israel from moving the U.S. embassy to its rightful place, Israel’s eternal capital of Jerusalem, to negotiating the historic Abraham Accords, the greatest stride towards peace normalization in more than a quarter century to aligning U.S. Central Command with Israel, a change that fostered daily communications with the IDF, joint exercises, and crucial coordination with British and Arab partners that helped defend against the unprecedented Iranian attacks against Israel last year.”
“And I believe it’s quite obvious to the world that if President Trump had remained in office, October 7th would never have happened,” she added. “He has brought his pro Israel policies to the white House. And in just a month, the world has watched as President Trump reasserts America First peace through strength foreign policy. Only 12 hours after his reelection, Hamas terrorists called for an immediate end to the war, a direct result of President Trump’s restoration of American strength to the world stage.”
“Innocent hostages taken by Hamas terrorists have been returned home,” she concluded. “As President Trump promised all hell if they were not brought back. And we will continue to work until every hostage comes back home and is returned home.”
The Times of Israel reported that Stefanik’s comments earned her a mixed response of cheering and audible booing.
