Fetterman Warns Democrats Are Drifting Into Communism After 3 Socialist Wins in New York

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 25

Summary

  • John Fetterman said the Democratic Party is "drifting firmly into communism" after three socialist-backed candidates defeated mainstream Democrats in New York primaries.
  • Darializa Avila Chevalier drew his sharpest criticism, with Fetterman citing her past anti-American and anti-Israel remarks and saying candidates who want to abolish ICE, police and prisons are unfit for office.
  • The Pennsylvania senator argued Democratic voters are increasingly rewarding candidates he called anti-Israel, anti-American and hostile to core institutions, while casting himself as a "normal Democrat" who supports Israel.
  • The warning comes as left-wing candidates also gained ground beyond New York, including Nithya Raman in Los Angeles, Janeese Lewis George in Washington and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
