Indiana lawmaker under investigation after staffers accuse her of ‘rage’ and ‘general toxicity’

Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz is facing a House ethics investigation after staffers allege “abuse” by the Republican lawmaker.

Allegations surrounding Spartz have surfaced in a recent report by Politico, who say that multiple complaints have been filed about “general toxicity” and “rage,” according to a current aide and a former aide — who both have been contacted by investigators in recent weeks.

Staffers detailed how Spartz asked one to die for her or how she would constantly berate her staff calling them ‘r******’ and ‘children.’ She has hemorrhaged senior staff in recent weeks — though none said why they decided to leave.

The anonymous aides claim their complaints were filed with panel investigators before the Indiana representative won her primary race last month. In the Indiana congressional primary, Spartz beat eight rival Republicans to put her name on the ballot.

The Politico report claimed the House Ethics Committee has now made preliminary inquiries into Spartz’s treatment of staff.

However, her campaign adviser Dan Hazelwood said in a statement that she has not been contacted by Ethics Committee staff.

“The congresswoman has long been critical that too many in Washington want power, pay, and privilege then turn around and do nothing,” he said.

“When the system is held to account, we get anonymous rumors and exaggerated stories. She did not ask anyone to die. She does not ask for personal chores or staff to cook her dinners. She does insist that people be held accountable for delivering policy results to the American people,” he added.

Two sources claim that Spartz has imposed pay cuts in the last few weeks, reaching into the ‘tens of thousands of dollars’ for some staff, the outlet reported.
