Typical Government of Putin shitbags. Spatz should be thrown into the frontline, but she might run to the Muscovite side. The fucking border is a low priority issue, because Putin’s Fucking Sock Puppet failed to complete the wall project and deported fewer illegals than former President Obama or aka “The Deporter-in-Chief.”

Is the fact she was born in the Soviet Union supposed to have any impact on whatever nationalism or patriotism she should have as a representative of an American legislative district?

Exactly. Nobody needs to swear fealty to the place they were born, especially politicians.

Looking at her voting record, I’m not sure she’s for the American people either…

She actually officially wasn’t going to run for re-election but it seems she jumped back in because she thought her potential replacements would be worse.

So that’s pretty much how things are going in deep red America.

Not every person born in Ukraine has to support the US sending money and weapons to Ukraine. And often immigrants have more of an attachment to their adoptive home than where they were born…the people super committed to their home country don’t leave in the first place.

I disagree with a vote against funds for Ukraine but that is a disagreement on its own merits, I disagree because I want funding for Ukraine. Doesn’t matter that she was born there.
