INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Democratic Party released the following statement after reporting from WISH that Victoria Spartz was charged for allegedly attempting to bring a handgun through airport security at Dulles International Airport outside of D.C.
“As a member of Congress, Victoria Spartz should be well aware of the fact that you can’t carry a gun – loaded or unloaded – past airport security. Despite this, she carried a weapon in her carry on bag in violation of federal law,” said Indiana Democratic Party Executive Director Dayna Colbert.
“It’s clear from her time in Congress that Spartz doesn’t like following rules. The House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into her treatment of staff just last month, and claimed the government was attacking children during the riots at the Capitol on January 6th. Hoosiers simply deserve better than the constant embarrassment coming from Rep. Spartz’s lack of leadership. It’s time to retire her this November.
