Republican Congresswoman Victoria Spartz just claimed at a town hall that people in America are not guaranteed the constitutional right to due process: “You break the law, you don't have due process.”

Don’t agree…but if it did, shouldn’t buying/continuing to try to buy an election be included in “no due process?” I REALLY think Musk should be sent to El Salvador!!! Just my thoughts!
Encouraging. Keep harassing these "people's reps" that in reality are actively supporting a coup by a fascist government and a nazi billionaire against Congress.
Good grief: we used to elect individuals who understood at least the basics of American law. Now, we're just electing .... People who confidently don't know and don't care what the law is or means?
Sometimes, a punch is warranted. If none were thrown here, I respect the resistance of doing what. That being said, if I were in that room...all bets would be off!
It was an NAZI accent, not a German one. She’s Ukrainian and a traitor to her origin like she is a traitor to the US constitution sh’s sworn to uphold.
She also said, in her Russian sounding language, that the Democrats were imposters at the town hall.
She fits right in with Trump. Maybe he could ask her to replace Hegseth. Convince her she should sign up for a career ending position with the rest of them.
And that's how musk came up with this plan.... He found that Red Hats both 1.) Do not know history or understand our government and 2.) Donald Trump verbally told his supporters the following, "i love the uneducated" and did not comprehend that it's not a positive statement.
Oh thats a beautiful idea! It would be helpful if real immigrants took the test, and the results were placed directly next to natural born citizens' results, so that they can see how effectively most immigrants know our country's history and laws better than the people who were born here.
We need a recall mechanism for all federal elected officials. For Presidents, VPs, Senators, and Representatives. Build in some safeguards like they have in California, but give the people a chance to rectify their mistakes before the next election.
Unless you're a MAGA white male that commits a crime, is convicted of it, and then gets a pardon from the lying white rapist. Now he wants to give reparations. We are in Nazi Germany, circa 1930s...I will never forgive those who voted for this Nazi Hellscape. The world hates us. Thanks rapist.
Someone needs to read all of them the constitution!
I think that to run for office, there should be a civics test, a test on the constitution, (that they should probably read to pass), a mental stability test, and I wish an IQ test.
....It's madness that none of them have read it, including Trump...
Then when exactly do we get due process, Ms. Spartz? Congress members must be required to take basic civics classes before entering Congress. https://youtu.be/PBoptjV1OpI
Maybe having immigrants serve in Congress is not such a good idea, but unfortunately people like Tuberville are just as ignorant about our constitution and laws.
I swear they are like multiplying cockroaches. Every week, a new MAGA name pops up that I never heard before until that moment, like "Victoria Spartz", spouting inane fashy garbage. Is there just an endless well of these fools?
I think she understands more than well enough how Trump **wants** the law to work.
And people will cheer him on, because it's, owning the libs. One day they'll wake up and realise that Trump didn't stop at the libs. He owns everybody.
If you're ACCUSED of breaking the law then you MUST have due process.
Because anyone can accuse anyone. Like the time that Victoria Spartz stole my car with all my jewelry inside and ran over my dog and a cop.
Born in Eastern Ukraine. Married into US citizenship. We know whose side she's really on.
In 2024, shortly after a Russian missile strike on her hometown of Chernihiv, Spartz voted against $60B aid for Ukraine. How low do you have to be to betray your hometown to Putin?
The way I see it if it wasn’t of this existing right to due process, the orange stain would’ve been in prison not in the White House right now.
Two tiers justice system, they keep repeating🙃
Spartz was born in Nosivka, Ukraine (1978, when it was part of the Soviet Union) and is a naturalized American citizen. Sounds like she didn't study very hard for her citizenship test or pay attention to the Constitution she swore an oath to uphold as a congressperson.
This was the information I was looking for. I noticed the accent. So….i agree with everyone here…she does not know the constitution. Did someone at the town hall tell her she was wrong besides just booing?
Isn't due process literally a big part of the reason why the founders wrote the Constitution? I hope folks who claim to love America and love democracy but who voted for this person are thinking about this. 'Cause the rest of the world is sure wondering what has happened to democracy in the US.
So that logic should apply to dRump. Right, what, oh, no. Oh that’s right! It’s just a witch hunt when it applies to 🍊 man, even though he’s been convicted! Multiple times. That’s Hypocrisy b-i-atch.
Then what are the Miranda rights? They literally say ‘you have the RIGHT to remain silent’ ‘you have the RIGHT to an attorney’ That is part of due process!!! 🤦♀️
Must have gotten a very sizable donation to make it ok in her mind to be that stupid. Yet another example of why people need to be more responsible with their vote.
lets face it , from a humanity perspective there isnt much difference between the two . they were nurtured in the same nest , they just happen to be the smaller bullied baby chick so we pity it.
If you don’t believe in the US Constitution and respect our laws, I invite you to return to your native country because you are not a true reflection of what it means to be an American.
Shouldn’t Marjorie Taylor Greene be telling her to go back to her country? “We don’t give a crap” about what people from other countries have to say… unless it’s fascist.
We've gone from personal freedoms and Constitutional rights to this fascist scum in so little time. It's a staggering failure of the most powerful society to ever exist. Remarkable.
Did anyone ask her if it were she or her family members or possibly her child who got falsely accused or arrested and did not have due process would she say that bullshit with a straight face?
The play book is to suspend an election because of some sort of emergency. I predict he will suspend an election to 'weed out the corruption' in the election system.
Due process, as stated by American criminologist Herbert Packer, means a set of safeguards for suspects while the criminal justice system decides WHETHER OR NOT they have broken the law.
None of the current GOP has a clue what the Constitution says about anything. The only people who *need* due process are, in fact, those accused of crimes. She’s talking through her hat.
It’s time we deny this criminal group of NAZI MAGATS their due process & ship them to Russia. Pvtin can entertain this group of deranged sycophants until he tires of them & sends them to Siberia like he did Alexander Navalny…
Entire families must be deported just as Trump deports US Citizens!
She’s only saying what Republicans have always believed for decades. The only difference is that now, it’s more like “if Trump decides you broke the law..” And if Republican voters are booing her, it’s only because they didn’t expect the leopards to eat their faces, too.
Guess she forgot to read the 5th Amendment to the US Constitution. Its more than protections against self-incrimination which the ENTIRE GOP knows for sure.
How did our country get taken over by F’moron? Spartz is a F’Moron. The fascist idiots are fewer in numbers, but better organized, playing the long game towards this idiocy and cruelty. They told us what they were going to do without any cleverness and still we could not stop them. Worst nightmare.
About 6 people went against her in the primary so the vote was split. If they had gotten behind one she would have been out. Same reason we have Trump in the first place.
Rank choice voting in Maine has insured an Independent senator who caucuses with the Dems and two Dem congressional reps. One of those Dem reps from a trump +6 district. Hoping we lose Susan Collins in 2026 due to Rank Choice voting. It is a very useful tool in purple states.
and they DIDN'T immediately put the fear of god into her for saying that dumb shit?
biggest fucking issue with america right there---our politicians should be ***quivering in their BEDS*** at the mere THOUGHT of voicing something that trashy.
And of course it's them that gets to decide who breaks the law. They never can. But if you're black or brown or a woman or lgbtq then they can make you do whatever they want. How dare anyone question them.
Jeez Louise, last time I checked we have the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a jury of our peers. That’s part of due process including the right to a speedy trial. With dullards like this lady we r on the fast track to hell.

Outstanding.
(In 1978, Ukraine was in the USSR)
You'd think she'd learn the US constitution, but guess not!
Maybe she's backing Trump to help push Vlad's agenda 🤔 #Usefulidiot
She fits right in with Trump. Maybe he could ask her to replace Hegseth. Convince her she should sign up for a career ending position with the rest of them.
She'd be screaming for her due process
He broke the law.
Clearly she means this should only apply to anyone that opposes their coup.

See, you committed a crime, right?
Many Latinos too who voted Trump. They are so smug. The deportations/harassment won’t happen to them. Just the illegals.
In 2024, shortly after a Russian missile strike on her hometown of Chernihiv, Spartz voted against $60B aid for Ukraine. How low do you have to be to betray your hometown to Putin?
Two tiers justice system, they keep repeating🙃
And that’s worse.
She may have changed position on just about everything else but she has been a consistent supporter of Vladimir Putin since day one.
Another triumph for The Citizens United ruling
Are we just expected to not have any rights at all 😭?
#justice
Wisconsin what have you done?

We coulda just shaved him & tossed him off to el salvador this whole time?
Her education in US History and Government had a pissed off USSR slant.
Anyone else getting a vision of Trump in a toga in a coliseum doing the thumbs up/down thing?
zradnyk !!

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

😡
Still, as you say, it looks very Trump Kool-Aid.
Why?
So many words and phrases, it must be difficult for a congresswoman to keep it all straight. Or maybe it's just her and she should be voted out.
