… Rep Victoria Spartz (R-IN) will refuse all Committee assignments and will not caucus with Republicans or attend any meetings with them. She said she will remain a Republican though. Curious. The Republicans only have a one seat voting majority before this with the Waltz and Gaetz seats vacant, and now this.

… Spartz issued the following statement: “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.”

… Adam Kinzinger says that when it comes to Spartz, don’t read too much into this: “She is just lazy and doesn’t want to do any work. I’m serious.”

… But Politico reports that some Republican members say that Spartz is pouting because she wanted on the Ways and Means Committee and didn’t get it. This would make sense since Spartz made this announcement right after the committee assignments were announced........................

1. So she is saying that she is for sale to the highest bidder.

[Think. Again.]

3. Then we should start bidding.

12. Hey. Bribes are legal these days !

I wonder what it would cost to buy off a Congress critter?

[Walleye]

31. I like that idea, if we're going to use their tactics against them

Because we are never going to beat them at the insult game. And the mendacity.

[aggiesal]

38. The Supreme Court said "Bribes are legal ...", as long as the payment is after the fact! ...

WOW, what a country we now live in.

[samnsara]

13. exactly!!

[Lovie777]

2. Falling in line is the GQP way....

[Walleye]

4. I call bullshit. Unless she quits the Republican party, she's one of them.

[LisaL]

8. She certainly is.

But maybe she will stay home instead of voting, since she is pissed at something.

[melm00se]

18. Which is more important/accurate

labels or actions?

[Walleye]

24. If they have the Republican label, we know what the actions are gonna be

[displacedvermoter]

35. What I have been saying about Governor Phil Scott (R - Vt.)

Until he quits that reprehensible group he is still untrustworthy, at best.

[GoCubsGo]

6. Looks like the GOP has their own Krysten Sinema.

Couldn't happen to a better bunch of assholes. I wonder is she has a cow vest, too.

[RainCaster]

7. The GOP will not put a woman into leadership

Take a look- it's real. No cabinet appointments, no committee assignments. Women have no place in leadership...

Unless they have married into TSF's family.

[LisaL]

9. Eventually even those married into the family

will be shipped off to Greece.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Guilfoyle didn't marry mini-tRump. She's now an ex-girlfriend

Maybe she got it as payment for blackmailing.

[LisaL]

11. Ex-girlfriend or ex-wife,

does it really matter?

[Walleye]

26. Instead of women in their cabinet, they have abusers of women

[Polybius]

42. No women cabinet appointments?

There are actually quite a few.

Trump’s cabinet is set to be one-third women and include some historic firsts

[RainCaster]

43. You're right

I remember seeing something about how all his cabinet was men, but that must have been wrong. Thanks for setting me straight on that.

[Scrivener7]

14. Love Kinzinger's comment.

[LymphocyteLover]

15. she is a total kook, but in this case, I fully support her

[Emile]

16. LOL, she is crazy.

[allegorical oracle]

17. It's possible she also has a fierce temper

"She has previously threatened to resign over the national debt and reportedly hurled furniture at terrified staffers."

Sorry about the link not working.
I posted the story's only reference to hurling furniture.

[NBachers]

20. I can't get your link to work. I wanted to read about the furniture being hurled at terrified staffers.

[Emile]

36. Your link works for me.

[Aviation Pro]

19. Ukrainian

May have caught wind of something to do with what’s going on in the war.

[NBachers]

22. She probably heard about *rump's plans to be a "Wahrtime Prezidunt" like Bush the Lesser by starting a war with Iran.

[Walleye]

27. Like Trump calling Putin president and refusing to call Zelenskyy president. And calling it a war on Russia by Ukraine.

[DeeDeeNY]

21. She is Ukrainian-American

First elected to the House in 2020. Should be interesting when Trump and his House MAGAts start voting for less and less aid to Ukraine.

[LittleGirl]

28. As a native of Indiana

(yeah, I know, I can't help where I was born) she's exactly as Adam Kinsinger described. She has a need for the limelight as she loves to be interviewed. She is as worthless as the rest of the GQP in Indiana.

[Fla Dem]

34. Just a little more info on her.

Spartz immigrated to the United States in 2000 at the age of 22 and became a U.S. citizen in 2006.[8][9][10] She earned a master of accountancy from the Kelley School of Business of Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis.[7]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Spartz

I'd say she has a little bit of the Ukranian determination in her.

[Skittles]

44. why is she a repuke

repukes LOVE them some Russia

[Renew Deal]

23. She also voted "present" most of the time during the speaker nomination

So I don’t completely dismiss her “circus” comment

[Chipper Chat]

25. She won't switch party.

In Indiana she would be crucified for doing so.

[LittleGirl]

29. that state is so gerrymandered

that she wouldn't bother changing parties because the GQP has a super majority in Indiana.

[Emile]

37. and she is married to a rich farmer.

Victoria Spartz has a net worth of $25.40 Million

[Omnipresent]

30. Oh, i hope nothing else goes wrong with Mikey's super slim majority...

[underpants]

32. I think they have a two seat majority

Not to be nitpicking or anything

[Happy Hoosier]

33. She is a SUPER MAGAt

She is my Congresswoman and she's a piece of shit.

[Raven123]

39. That's between her and her voters.

[IronLionZion]

40. GOP house don't have any women or minorities in any committee leadership position

this will be the first time in 20 years.

They literally promised to take America backwards (MAGA).

[AllyCat]

41. Think I'll put my money on kinzinger's assessment.

She is lazy and will join the circus as soon as things get real for her.
