Aides Claim Republican Rep Threw Furniture At Them

June 7, 2024 Politics, Republicans

The Daily Mail reports:

Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz’s former staffers have made explosive claims she was ‘manic’ and ‘abusive’ and would throw furniture at aides. The hot-tempered Ukrainian-born Indiana lawmaker has been named the ‘worst boss’ on Capitol Hill and her conduct is now at the center of an ethics complaint.

Her office has been a revolving door of staffers who think they are ‘tough’ enough to handle it, only to head for the exits shortly after. One source said that Spartz had ‘thrown shoes’ at her district staff, and ‘blew up’ at them in front of constituents on multiple occasions.

Politico reports:

The House Ethics Committee has made preliminary inquiries into Rep. Victoria Spartz’s treatment of staff in response to multiple complaints filed about the Indiana Republican’s alleged “abuse,” “general toxicity,” and “rage,” according to a current aide and a former aide who made complaints and have been contacted by investigators in recent weeks.

The aides, who were granted anonymity due to their fear of retribution by Spartz, said their complaints were filed with panel investigators before Spartz won her primary race last month. The investigators told them the Ethics Committee would not launch a formal investigation before then given the potential appearance of meddling in the election, the aides said.

In February 2024, Spartz announced that she would not seek reelection. Two days later, she said she had changed her mind.
