EXCLUSIVE: House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., is demanding that a local elected official in her district resign after reportedly comparing former President Trump to a 'rabid dog' after he was shot.

can tell you firsthand this selfish act of one person’s satisfaction has been a nightmare for me and the rest of the Board the last couple of weeks,' Miller said, adding that the town council has been inundated with 'phone calls, voicemails, and emails' on the matter. Miller pointed out, however, that the town council cannot oust one of its own members. He also endorsed Stefanik for re-election, calling her a 'strong' leader in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital reached out to Paige for comment on Stefanik’s demand. It’s part of the continued fallout from the July 13 shooting at Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally.
