Indiana Republican lawmaker's town hall a crowd-fest of boos and jeers as she defends Trump spending cuts

Victoria Spartz, a Republican U.S. Representative from Indiana, hosted a chaotic town hall in Muncie, where she faced boos after not calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Spartz received criticism for her vote against $61 billion in aid for Ukraine and was confronted about her stance on U.S. Support for Kyiv during the town hall.
Constituents booed and chanted in response to Spartz's handling of the Trump administration's spending cuts and her past vote against aid for Ukraine.
After the town hall, Spartz criticized her opponents on social media, stating that 'the radical left' should understand that intimidation won't work.
