Cuellar Warns Democrats DSA Spent $20 Million to Push Radical Agenda

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 18

Summary

  • Henry Cuellar said the Democratic Socialists of America is using safe Democratic seats as a vehicle for a broader agenda, urging fellow Democrats to reject the group outright.
  • On Fox's "Saturday in America," the Texas Democrat said DSA-backed candidates soften their message with affordability and housing themes while masking positions he described as abolishing ICE, defunding police and restructuring the Supreme Court.
  • $20 million was spent against Cuellar in two past primaries by the DSA and Justice Democrats, he said, adding that he survived by backing border security and oil-and-gas jobs.
  • The warning follows recent socialist-backed wins in New York and Colorado, including Melat Kiros's upset over Diana DeGette in Denver and victories by Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander in New York.
