GOP congresswoman-elect who grew up under socialism: We need to be good students of history
众议员当选维多利亚Spartz, 果皮。, warns against the left’s movement towards socialism on ‘Fox &安培; 朋友。’
众议员当选维多利亚Spartz, 果皮。, appeared on “狐狸 & 友人” to share her personal experiences living under socialism.
“I grew up in a socialistic country, the Socialist Republic of Ukraine. I saw what happens when it runs out of money and it is not pretty,” Spartz said.
“And now, I came to America 20 years ago with a suitcase after meeting my husband on a train in Europe. He’s a raised and born Hoosier. And now we’re building socialism. I’m kind of going full circles. I can tell you what is going to be next. It’s very sad for me to see that.”
13 GOP WOMEN JOIN THE HOUSE, DOMINATING CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS, MAKING HISTORY
There is a record number of women who flipped districts from blue to red on Nov. 3. 众议院议长南希·佩洛西, 与此同时, rejected any blame aimed at her for the Democrats’ majority shrinking in the lower chamber, saying Friday: “I accept credit for winning the majority and holding the House.”
Living under socialism for 42 years in Soviet Ukraine, Spartz said she saw first-hand the problems with that kind of government and claimed it is “not very good” for the United States.
Championing limited government, Spartz, a state senator, defeated former Democratic state legislator Christina Hale in a race where Democrats were hoping to flip the seat.
Spartz encouraged Americans to “be good students of history” because they would know that since socialism is an “unsustainable system,” every country that practiced it failed. Spartz said that “a lot of young kids died” when the United States fought against socialism.
“I took my kids to the beaches of Normandy and you can see how many young kids died fighting for freedoms. How many wars were fought and were won,“ 她说.
Spartz went on to say, “This system creates a lot of destruction and misery so we have to be smarter than that. 你懂, we’re not going to change. There are only two systems: you have freedom and free enterprise and you have a system where the government decides and political elites on top [决定] how we’re going to lead, what we’re going to do.”
