Indiana Congresswoman Victoria Spartz faces backlash at town hall for defending Musk, Hegseth [View all]

The Independent

A town hall meeting hosted by controversial Indiana Republican Victoria Spartz descended into chaos after the congresswoman gave apparently unsatisfactory answers to several questions from constituents.

The room erupted with boos and chants on Friday after Spartz said she would not be calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other members of the so-called Signalgate group chat.

“Would you demand the immediate resignation of Pete Hegseth, Michael Waltz and the rest of the group chat?” one woman asked, prompting cheers and chants of “lock him up” from others in the room.

Saturday’s town hall followed an equally raucous event on Friday. That crowd became enraged after Spartz told them: "If you violated the law, you are not entitled to due process."
