To her credit, unhinged moron Republican Indiana Congresswoman Victoria Spartz did, per Politico Playbook, admit to the angry crowd at a town hall in her district on Friday night that Mike Waltz and his chat buddies’ fuckup was “actually very bad.” Not to her credit, she told a constituent who called on Spartz to demand the resignations of Waltz and the others that “resignations go to the Senate anyway… So you should talk to the senators. Hopefully they have town halls,” demonstrating a pretty massive void in her knowledge of how Congress works and possibly politics writ large.
Playbook writes Spartz said outright she wasn’t going to do that, but she could’ve just said it instead of that “Senate” excuse which, if you had to parse it out, seems to be her confusing simple messaging with the impeachment process in which senators are the jury and decide whether or not the impeached official is convicted and removed from office. All they were asking Spartz to do was make a public statement calling on them to resign, but even her fucking stupid cop out has a problem: If the Senate is the jury, then the House is the grand jury, meaning she has agency here and could introduce or at least support articles of impeachment against Waltz, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, and the others involved. And she’ll have an opportunity to do that soon.
As for the rest of the town hall, Spartz opened by saying “I promise I’ll behave,” and apparently had acknowledged that the NRCC had told her not to do it. She even earned some respect from what Politico said were a “mostly left-leaning crowd” for staying the whole time, and also made admissions like “President Trump was elected to be president by the majority of Americans, but I know you are frustrated with Elon Musk, I know you are very frustrated. I want to stay engaged.”
Still a Spartz minion text Politico to say the “room is full of the 5 percent of liberal maniacs who would lead the Democrat party to lose a national election 55-45.”
