President-elect Donald J. Trump's first headache. Republican Victoria Spartz may not be a rubber stamp for MAGAland. |
Initially Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) was going to retire from Congress. She changed her mind. She ended up winning her reelection bid. The Indiana lawmaker announced she won't join any of the Republican conferences.
I will stay as a registered Republican but will not sit on committees or participate in the caucus until I see that Republican leadership in Congress is governing. I do not need to be involved in circuses. I would rather spend more of my time helping @DOGE and @RepThomasMassie to… https://t.co/ZNju2jvNHk

She represents Anderson, Carmel as well as parts of Kokamo and Indianapolis. The 5th Congressional District is strongly Republican.
Spartz is a Ukrainian American lawmaker and very sympathetic towards Ukraine. She is also supportive of the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.
With Donald J. Trump returning to power, he has openly called for an end to the Russo-Ukrainian war. He has even stated that Ukraine should allow Russia to seize eastern oblasts.
Republicans have a razor-thin lead over Democrats in the House and any uncertainty could rock pivotal votes away from the GOP and House Speaker Mike Johnson in the upcoming session.
“I will stay as a registered Republican but will not sit on committees or participate in the caucus until I see that Republican leadership in Congress is governing. I do not need to be involved in circuses,” Spartz wrote on X.
The decision to step down confused some Republicans, but others suspected the move had something to do with the House GOP Steering Committee not giving her a coveted post on the House Ways and Means Committee, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Spartz, who has had problems with retaining staff, said she’d prefer to “spend more of my time helping” the mission of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which is meant to help cut government spending.
Some Republicans are happy about her decision to boycott the conference meetings, according to two people familiar with the situation, as some had privately complained about her speaking too much during the internal GOP meetings.
Hopefully Republicans get so heated with one another they fail at accomplishing their goals of pushing unpopular policies.
I want the Republican Party, Donald J. Trump and J.D. Vance to fail miserably.
And I don't have to apologize or bend the knee. I want the chaos to continue and the United States loose its grip on worldwide leadership. Trump, President Joe Biden and Congress want to continue the status quo of alliance with Israel.
Israel is exposed as the world's leading problem. Israel will fall and it will take the U.S. with it.
