Choking back tears Ukraine-Born Rep. Victoria Spartz makes an emotional plea for action in Ukraine




On 3/1/2022, Rep. Victoria Spartz, who was born in Ukraine, made an emotional plea for stronger US action in defense of Ukraine, “This is not a war, this is a genocide of the Ukrainian people by a crazy man who cannot get over the Ukrainian people do not want socialism, Soviet Union, communism,” Spartz, who represents Indiana, told reporters during a GOP news conference about President Biden’s State of the Union address. “They want to be with the United States of America. They want to be free people. They want to be with the West.”

The congresswoman’s grandmother is 95 and lives in Chernihiv, a city just a few hours north of the capital, “She told my mom … ‘do not cry, we are not crying here just give us some guns,’” Spartz said, choking back tears as she recounted her mother’s conversation with her grandmother. “‘So we don’t just fight with the sticks.’”

She said what President Joe Biden is “allowing to happen” is “unforgivable,” adding that the president “will have the blood of many millions of Ukrainians on his hands too.” “If we don’t stop him there, he is not going to stop,” she said. “He is going to further and then we’ll have to send our children to die to fight this.”
