IN-05: Didn't see it posted here but Spartz seems to be going through something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
"congresswoman Victoria Spartz, an Indiana Republican, issued an ultimatum to her colleagues on Monday saying she will "not sit on committees or participate in the caucus" until she sees GOP leadership "governing."

"congresswoman Victoria Spartz, an Indiana Republican, issued an ultimatum to her colleagues on Monday saying she will "not sit on committees or participate in the caucus" until she sees GOP leadership "governing."
Spartz continued in her post on X, formerly Twitter, "I do not need to be involved in circuses. I would rather spend more of my time helping @DOGE and @RepThomasMassie to save our Republic, as was mandated by the American people."
She says she doesn't want to be involved in circuses, but she's sure acting like a clown.
I found it somewhat embarrassing that she was the only Ukrainian-born member of Congress and yet by this year she was voting against aid for it. At least Eugene Vindman's election means she won't have that particular distinction anymore.
Oh that's just the tip of the iceburg! Spartz herself is toxic to her staff to the point where the House Ethics Committee had a panel to probe how she was treating them.
The House Ethics Committee has made preliminary inquiries into Rep. Victoria Spartz’s treatment of staff in response to multiple complaints filed about the Indiana Republican’s alleged “abuse,” “general toxicity,” and “rage,” according to a current aide and a former aide who made complaints and have been contacted by investigators in recent weeks.
The aides, who were granted anonymity due to their fear of retribution by Spartz, said their complaints were filed with panel investigators before Spartz won her primary race last month. The investigators told them the Ethics Committee would not launch a formal investigation before then given the potential appearance of meddling in the election, the aides said.
As a 2nd generation Ukranian Jewish American, I am embarrassed by Victoria Spartz. She came from my grandfather's hometown of Chernihiv and has become another MAGA Republican type who has accused the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland's leadership as being like the KGB. And she's now arguing she doesn't want to be involved in circuses while voting against aid for Ukraine? Against her own people?
I don't get Spartz. I really don't. If she gets primaried out of office, good riddance. Maybe next she can get a one-way ticket to Russia, meet Vladimir Putin and then she might attempt to walk back her stupid KGB remarks towards Garland.
