Out of Touch and Bought by Elites: Janelle Stelson's Shocking Ignorance of Gold Star Mothers Exposed
Why PA-10 needs to re-elect Congressman Scott Perry
Over the past few months, Janelle Stelson—once a news anchor—has been thrust into the race for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, backed by the very same corrupt, left-wing elites who are systematically undermining the values we cherish in this country. These are billionaire special interests, utterly detached from the struggles of everyday Pennsylvanians. Their mission? Simple. Buy influence, silence opposition, and advance a dangerous agenda that sells out everyday Americans for their own gain.
But they’ve got a problem. That problem is Congressman Scott Perry—a combat veteran, a principled leader, and a staunch ally of President Donald J. Trump. Perry has proven time and again that he stands between the people of Pennsylvania and the radical, anti-American policies championed by D.C. elites. So now, they’re funneling obscene sums of money into unseating him. Their goal isn’t just to defeat Perry—it’s to make sure President Trump never steps foot in the White House again come 2025.
Janelle Stelson, however, is not their champion. She’s their puppet. For decades, she’s dutifully echoed the disinformation and fear-mongering that mainstream media specializes in, and now, she’s using those same tired tactics to slander Scott Perry. Why? Because she knows she can’t defend her own positions. Stelson has no real platform, no vision for Pennsylvania, and no experience fighting for the people. Instead, she parrots the lies of her handlers while distorting Congressman Perry’s lifetime of honorable service.
But the most disgraceful part of Stelson’s campaign? Her total disregard for Congressman Perry’s distinguished military service. Scott Perry didn’t just fight on Capitol Hill—he fought on the battlefield. As a Brigadier General and a combat veteran, Perry has dedicated his life to this nation. Yet Stelson and her billionaire backers see his service as irrelevant because it doesn’t align with their bottom line. Their real fear isn’t in the policies—they fear that if Perry remains in office, he’ll continue to defend Pennsylvanians against their insidious globalist agenda.
To illustrate just how disconnected Stelson is, let me share an encounter. Recently, a friend of mine attended a Stelson campaign event at a local VFW. Veterans—both Democrat and Republican—gathered to hear her speak. What did they get? Stelson’s tired, divisive rhetoric, slandering Scott Perry and President Trump without offering a single shred of evidence to back up her claims. But the real moment of truth came when a Gold Star Mother, a woman who had lost her child in service to this country, asked Stelson if she would fight for families like hers in Congress. Stelson gave a vague, rehearsed response and quickly moved on.
Here’s the kicker: as Stelson left, my friend overheard one of her staffers ask another, “What’s a Gold Star Mother?” They didn’t know. Worse, neither did Stelson.
Think about that for a moment. A woman running for Congress doesn’t even know what it means to be a Gold Star Mother. Yet she’s out here attacking Congressman Perry’s service record, comfortable in her ignorance, oblivious to the sacrifices military families make every single day. It’s not just appalling—it’s disqualifying.
These Gold Star families deserve better. Pennsylvania’s 10th District deserves better. We need a leader who not only understands service but has lived it. And that leader is Scott Perry.
Over the last several years, Congressman Perry has been one of the fiercest advocates for Gold Star families and veterans, calling out the disastrous policies of the Biden-Harris administration that have treated these heroes with nothing but contempt.
While Janelle Stelson’s campaign remains blissfully unaware of what a Gold Star family even is, Perry has been holding the Biden-Harris administration accountable for its treatment of them.
Take, for example, his stance on border security. While Stelson and the Democrats are content with open borders and handing out taxpayer money to illegal migrants, Congressman Perry has fought to ensure those funds are directed where they belong: to American families, including our veterans and Gold Star families. In 2021, Perry called out President Biden’s outrageous proposal to give $450,000 to illegal migrants.
“This Administration is actually willing to pay those who break the law more than Gold Star Families are awarded after their loved ones are killed in action. This is an unconscionable dereliction of duty, and further evidence of how detached he is from reality and the American people.” - Rep. Scott Perry Via Facebook
Scott Perry hasn’t stopped fighting. He’s kept up the pressure on Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, where 13 brave service members lost their lives. Perry and his colleagues on the House Foreign Affairs Committee have worked to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken accountable, even moving to hold him in contempt for failing to testify about the administration’s failures in Afghanistan.
In fact, Perry blasted Blinken for choosing to appear at President Joe Biden's final address to the United Nations General Assembly.
“Blinken choosing to attend the UN for Biden's farewell speech is a slap in the face to Americans, Gold Star families, those who’ve lost their lives, and those who are now horrifically maimed for the rest of their lives because of his poor judgment in the Afghanistan withdrawal.
If he wants to attend a farewell address, he should attend a farewell address to the nuclear program from Iran. That would be a great one if Biden could have negotiated that. Or a farewell to supporting proxies by Iran who attacked Israel. Essentially, he's just blowing us off, blowing off those families [of those who died in Afghanistan] and blowing off the country, and it's unacceptable
The American People deserve answers to what happened in Afghanistan but essentially he’s blowing off those families, blowing off the Country, and it's unacceptable.” - Congressman Scott Perry via X
And Stelson? She remains silent. Why? Because she’s too busy being a mouthpiece for the elites who back her.
The contrast couldn’t be clearer. Scott Perry is a proven fighter—a man who has risked his life for this country and who continues to defend our values in Washington. Janelle Stelson? She’s a puppet, plain and simple. She doesn’t understand sacrifice, she doesn’t understand service, and she sure doesn’t understand the people of Pennsylvania’s 10th District.
That’s why I’m asking you to take action. Knock on doors. Make phone calls. Talk to your neighbors. Together, we can reject the billionaire elites trying to buy this district and re-elect a leader who fights for us every single day.
Join me in supporting Congressman Scott Perry. Let’s send a clear message to Janelle Stelson and her backers: Pennsylvania is not for sale.
