Republicans Freak As Ukrainian-Born Gop Colleague Trash Talks Zelensky
[ZeroHedge] House Republicans are seriously regretting giving Ukraine-born GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz
...moved to America after getting an MBA in Kiev, so she knows her former homeland, CPA and real estate broker license here, adjunct business school professor, founding member of the local TEA Party group. After serving in the Indiana legislature for three years, she was elected to the House in 2020 as one of the anti-socialism Freedom Force Republicans...
a platform to speak on the war, after she started lobbing intense criticism at president Volodomyr Zelensky and his administration, drawing a rare rebuke last weekend from the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, which said she was "trying to earn extra political capital on baseless speculation."

According to Politico,
...not exactly a trustworthy source...
Republicans within the GOP Conference
...how many, precisely? The three quoted in the article or a majority? Zero Hedge is known to peddle pro-Russia propaganda from time to time...
have "widespread fear" that her outspoken posture will damage US-Ukraine relations, and that the MAGA wing of their party - which has seen growing opposition to US support of the Ukraine war - will point to Spartz's comments as justification.
It doesn’t sound to me like she is against the war, but wants it to be managed better.
Spartz, who has traveled to Ukraine about six time since the war began, released a statement earlier this months calling on Zelensky to "stop playing politics and theater" and "start governing to better support his military and local government."

She also accused President Joe Biden of "playing politics" and said that he needs to present a "clear strategy and align security assistance with our strategy."

#1 Volodymyr is a Soros drone. She knows the corruption there but she doesn't speak the media narrative here.

#2 Spartz's quoted words don't seem all that radical or bombastic. Do the Pubs have a 'thought police' unit?

#3 Poroshenko absolutely was corrupt and in Soros's pocket, therefor Zelensky probably is too (although he's shown far more gonads than the typical one-worlder during the current festivities).
