The confrontation showcased organized resistance to her leadership in a district roiled by GOP infighting.

U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-New York, testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on her nomination to be ambassador to the United Nations in June 2025, before President Donald Trump axed her as a contender for the job.

Overview

  • At Monday’s renaming of Clinton County’s government center for the late clerk John Zurlo in Plattsburgh, protesters booed Rep. Elise Stefanik, chanting “You sold us out” and shouting “You’re a Nazi,” according to local coverage.
  • According to NBC-5, demonstrators made up more than half the crowd, with activist groups including Show Up helping organize the protest and attendees calling for a town hall.
  • Unable to be heard over the jeers, Stefanik left the podium without delivering her speech, later saying she privately gave her remarks and a Congressional Record to Zurlo’s family.
  • Stefanik condemned the disruption as the work of “radical Far Left Democrat agitators” and said the event should have focused on honoring Zurlo’s legacy.
  • The episode comes after she urged Clinton County Clerk Jerika Manning to resign over a Republican special‑election nomination dispute, as she hints at a possible 2026 gubernatorial run to be addressed after November.
