Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) is calling on Congress to “shut down” the U.S. economy over the southern border, while accusing President Joe Biden of Marxist policies and denouncing his border legislation that Donald Trump ordered killed months ago.

Congresswoman Spartz on Tuesday spoke to Fox News Business host Maria Bartiromo in a rambling interview on the Senate bipartisan border bill that Donald Trump ordered killed. Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is one again trying to pass it.

Rep. Spartz said, “we need to get them back, you know, to really put pressure to control the border. So I just don’t see anything else left there because no one wants to shut down the economy, unfortunately. We should really for such a serious issue, but Republicans are not gonna do it. And, and you know, and we’re not just going to let Democrats have messagings bill with lots of loopholes. There are way more loopholes in that bill than people even realized.”

The economy is a top issue for 2024 presidential election voters.

After calling to shut down the economy, which economists for months have shown is doing extremely well, she then falsely accused President Joe Biden of socialism and enacting “socialist policies by Karl Marx.”

“I think we need to have a serious discussion what really Bidenomics is and how it resembles socialist policies by Karl Marx where it’s not just, you know, Biden administration had failed policy in a lot of fronts with its supply chain, whether we’re dealing with energy, but also they’ve been subsidizing corporations very close to the government in trying to control financial markets, in order in essence control the means of production and financial markets. That’s what socialism really is.”

The Biden administration fixed the supply chain crisis created during the Trump administration, improved the supply chain, and continues to massively invest in it.

“And now they are trying to use you know, the government power to pick losers and winners and you know, this, winners are going to be people who can pay, give campaign contribution to Biden’s reelection campaign, and losers are going to be all of us. And this is a serious discussion we need to have because this level of spending and subsidy cannot continue, it’s destructive and inflation is going to destroy the middle class and people low income.”

Donald Trump recently asked top oil and gas executives to donate $1 billion to his campaign in exchange for lower taxes and a rollback of President Biden’s climate and environmental protections....[twt]

GOP Representative-elect Nicole Malliotakis, a member of the "Freedom Force."

A group of incoming Republican House members are banding together in a bid to recreate the buzz around the "Squad," the Democratic Party's cohort of progressive representatives elected in 2018.

The newly-elected Republicans are calling themselves the "Freedom Force."

The group says it opposes socialism, and some members have claimed the Democratic left "hates" its values of love of country, support for business, and respect for God.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is part of the Squad, said of the new group: "I mean it sounds ridiculous to me. I think they think they're in high school. We're in Congress."

GOP Congresswoman-elect on forming ‘Freedom Force’: Left is ‘totally out of line’ with mainstream

'When AOC offers you free stuff, you're paying for it with your freedom,' a Freedom Force member argues

Congresswomen-elect start 'Freedom Force' as counterweight to Dems' 'Squad'

Congresswoman-elect Michelle Steel, R-Calif., joined Congresswoman-elect Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., who told ‘Outnumbered Overtime’ the ‘Freedom Force’ will ‘stand up and fight back against socialism.’

Several new Republican members said they are forming the "Freedom Force" to "stand up and fight back against socialism."

Congresswoman-elect Michelle Steel, R-Calif., joined Congresswoman-elect Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., who both flipped House seats red in November, on "Outnumbered Overtime" Tuesday.

"I think the left is totally out of line from mainstream America," Steel said, pointing out she is a first-generation immigration with an accent.

"I am grateful to America and I want to show them that I stick to the issues that lower taxes, smaller government, and less regulations, and stop defunding the police," she added.

Malliotakis said the conservative group is "bonded by a love of this nation and opposes the radical agenda of The Squad -- which includes progressive Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York City; Ayanna Pressley of Boston; Ilhan Omar of Minneapolis; and Rashida Tlaib of Detroit.

"Right now it's under attack by those members of the socialist squad," she said, "who are looking to chip away our freedoms and really dismantle our economy and really our country and we need to fight back and we're really passionate about that."

Malliotakis warned: "When AOC offers you free stuff, you're paying for it with your freedom."

In addition to Steel and Malliotakis, some of the new Freedom Force members include Republican Reps.-elect Carlos Gimenez, Maria Elvira Salazar and Byron Donalds of Florida; Stephanie Bice of Oklahoma; Burgess Owens of Utah; and Victoria Spartz of Indiana.

Both of the new representatives say 2022 will be a win for Republicans in the House.

One of the newer members of the Democratic squad, Congressman-elect Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., suggested Republicans misunderstood socialism.

“I believe that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, when they think of socialism, they think of communism and think of the government controlling everything and people being disempowered within democracy, and I think that's an incorrect definition, that's not how I define it," he argued.
