Spartz took a furious phone call from President Trump, whose screaming could be heard by the congresswoman’s colleagues across the Republican cloakroom.

Republicans are like obsequious courtiers at a Tudor court, bowing and scraping to the king for fear of being sent to the Tower and having their heads lopped off.
On the other hand, the threat of the MAGA cult is real, especially since the violent insurrectionists were pardoned and think they can get away with anything now. I would not be surprised to find the death threats are a factor.
We are less than a year away from brownshirt brigades.
Indeed, it's a no-win situation. They stand against him, death threats and primarying. Stand with him, and they contribute to their own and the nation's demise.
"Spartz flipped, telling reporters later that she’d had a “great conversation” with Trump, who was “on board to get some great things done on health care.”"
She did NOT say to reporters that she was 😫 bullied😫
While you’re not wrong, this is why I’ve always advocated for private voting until the vote is recorded. No one in Congress should be asked “how do you PLAN to vote?” The vote itself should be public record.
I seeeeee-eeee...... that weird deal with a trip to the cloakroom to "talk" was so that Trump could scream at and threaten the holdouts with a semi-limited audience.
Apparently, he’s so so so angry because of the bad press about him from around the world, no less and he thought he was gonna come across as a tough guy and guess what…the world is going on without him! Now if someone can just take him out of our country maybe drop them off in Gaza or Greenland🙏😉
Or, she Is more Russian than Ukrainian, because last I check they will fight to the fucking death & stand up to tyranny. But what the fuck do I know, not a spunky chick of Eastern European descent.🤨 🇺🇸🇱🇻

1) Stop taking his calls
2) Fight for your constituents
3) Grow a fucking backbone. Ask Jasmine Crockett & AOC how it's done
4) Act like the Ukrainian you are.
Alright, so he intimidated her and the vote is done. Now is the time for her to stand up and speak out. Hopefully others will follow because you know there are others. Why are they scared of this diaper bag asshole. STAND UP AND SPEAK UP AND GET HIM OUT!!
Congress members who are bullied should simply resign from the GOP, sit as Independents, and work with the Democrats. Call your Republican Representatives America.
As someone who used to deal with phone calls from the public. I NEVER allowed anyone, regardless of who, yell at me, or disrespect me. Spartz is weak. Scream on, toddler despot! The phone would be put down & I would walk away. I would not give him the satisfaction of hanging up.
Born in Ukraine yet voted against Ukraine....told us all she would not run for reelection again and pivoted on that one.. uses the same tactics on her staff that trump just used on her. Check, she's a republican
USA need to have real leaders in USA like Ukraine President Zelenskyy that does not scare to answer, stand up & confront face to face to a Liar Dictator like Trump, Terrorist Putin & GOP by telling the truth, not bend over & kiss their asses to agree of everything & let them destroy USA & The World!
Then she needs to RESIGN - RIGHT NOW
She took an Oath to Uphold the Constitution, not bow to trump. I get she may be scared - so if she can't or won't do her job she needs to resign so someone that isn't afraid of that bully can!
Republicans would better serve constituents by following a principled leader like Zelensky rather than by allowing a compromised, convicted felon like 🍊🤡 to brow beat them into submission. 🤦🏻♀️
They are so cowardly, but also willing, by choice to ignore their constituents for what? To be reelected? They are all disgusting. Saying one thing & doing another.
Her constituents must be overjoyed that she sold them out because an old man yelled at her. I’ll never understand how that fucking guy was able to completely bully the supposed “tough guy” party into submission
They are scared because many of them are getting credible death threats. Trump has encouraged political violenece & immunized actual violent criminals for their pro-Trump violence. They still must do their duty and oppose Trump, but they are cowards who can't face the consequences of supporting him.
It's not an excuse, and they are cowards, but it is still true. They are in a mafia cult and it is not easy to leave. This is part of why Trump has been able to so utterly dominate the Republicans, and why we must try and protect and help any who try and leave.
We have never had a govt in our history like the one we have now. There have been conditions of stress at times but, never the violent intimidation in such volume from such a vile individual. My POV; between his need to deliver to Putin & his narcissism; he is a person caught in his own web.
Fuck them and their fucking traitor ass cult. They’re too afraid they’ll be posted to twitter by fucking catturd and have the proud boys sitting outside their house? Scared of a bunch of fucking fat losers? Ok you’re a congressperson. Buy a fucking gun!!! Hire security.. something. Pathetic excuse 😡
As I said, it doesn't excuse their behaviour in any way, but it is still true that going against Trump will put them in danger and ruin their existing lives. It helps to understand our enemies and our potential allies. We need all the help we can get.
If you take notice of these death threats now and they win what do you think will happen then? You will be even less safe. Look how trump cowers in front of Putin!
I'm not condoning their cowardice, I'm just pointing out the reality of the deal with the devil they are embroiled in. Bravery is required to escape from the MAGA world, but they have mostly shown abject cowardice so far.
Record his furious phone call and sell it to every news outlet in the free world.
You already in deep shit with constituents, you ain't gonna be elected again--so who cares if he primaries you? If he's threatening bodily harm to you or yours--that is still illegal. Make sure the world knows...
Ukrainian?Please don't give in to that low life bully! Look at courageous Zelensky who has been a tower of strength! Trump will expect worse things from you later on.
She was one of the few Republicans that was refusing to pass the orange moron’s recent economic bill. He bullied her into signing it and apparently she is now on board fully due to his threats. I have mixed feelings whether to condemn her for her anti-Ukraine speech or encourage renewed defiance.
All of these unbelievably admirable and heroic Ukrainians, and it figures the one useless cowering chihuahua is a republican in the American congress. Of fucking course.
Perfect example of a COWARD.
Today on CNN, she completely coward down and blamed Ukrainian president. Boot licking republican through in through no class just kiss ass.
Wonder what her kin folk think of her?
I bet EMBARRASSED.
Turn coat, traitor, & dishonest. 🤢
She bullshitted everybody about how she was a refugee from Communism. Now she's for Putin as he slaughters Ukrainians. If she hates the Good Old USA so much, ship her nasty ass back to Russia.
Problematic article. It implies Rep. is a weak, poor victim. And not an adult professional given power by the people to represent them. If she had any dignity or integrity she should have resigned. Enough with the victimization of and undeserved sympathy to fascist collaborators.
What I don’t get is how appeasing the Hollow Man KNOWING you’re hurting most of your constituents is good for your job! It would only take a few of them to resign or switch sides to make T’s catastrophic cuts moot! Seems she’d be a hero!
I think it’s time to take the Bully out. They need to impeach him and all his deciples. If they did that they would not have to worry about the primaries

If a vile, racist bully screams at you, an elected congress person, you hang the fuck up.
America is a nation of cowards.
She did NOT say to reporters that she was 😫 bullied😫
Just like grade school.
Gaza doesn’t need more evil.
Pop him in Alcatraz.

She's a Representative. Her job is to serve the American people, and she failed.
Well, if she was worried about her job she didn't think it through. Chances are the people will vote her out.
Welcome to America - land of the free (or some other bullshit).
Emulate as necessary.

Resign
BALLS UP!
He’s coming after your job too. He will try to get rid of both Congress and the DOJ s soon as he can.
Protect yourselves.
IMPEACH THE BASTARD!!!
Entire GOP

We knew
This one should be in an institution.
That one was a spy from get.
Apparently, many Republicans planned to vote to impeach tRump, but others said think of the threats! Think of your family.
People who don't have the courage of their convictions shouldn't run for government.
You already in deep shit with constituents, you ain't gonna be elected again--so who cares if he primaries you? If he's threatening bodily harm to you or yours--that is still illegal. Make sure the world knows...
Fuck you, Spartz. FUCK YOU. I’m not even Ukrainian and I’m disgusted by the betrayal.
she bought the ticket, she can't get off the ride
