EXCERPT:
On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, as left-wing cable networks continued to be forced to cover the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) due to their continued wins in Democratic primaries, guest Anand Giridharadas, an online newsletter publisher, downplayed concerns of the DSA having radical ideologies. He asserted the DSA was like to “left, center-left ideology in most European countries,” and it was not “gulag socialism” or “Soviet Union Socialism.”
Co-host Willie Geist turned to Giridharadas in the aftermath of another DSA-candidate victory, this time in Colorado. Geist wondered: “But is this a bigger movement for the Democrats? Is it a problem for Democrats nationally because Republicans are going to use this – some believe extreme views of some of these candidates – against them nationally?”
