EXCERPT:
Outspoken members of the congressional Republican Study Committee called out the Democratic Party for nominating self-proclaimed capitalist candidates in key districts while allegedly undergoing a socialist rebranding.
The members’ comments come after nearly the entire House Democratic caucus voted against a resolution condemning socialism this fall. Additionally, the Democratic Socialists of America organization has reached a record-high membership, and longtime Democratic House members earlier this spring said the party’s congressional leadership has been hijacked by progressives.
A new poll first reported by the Daily Signal also found that 84% of American Democrats under 29 have a favorable view of socialism.
“When Democrats claim they’re fighting for affordability, they’re lying,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told the Daily Signal. “Their socialist policies will increase inflation up to 160%, cut paychecks by almost 30%, eliminate millions of jobs, and cost American families more than $350,000 over the next decade.”
“The contrast couldn’t be clearer: Republicans are lowering costs and putting more money into the pockets of hardworking families while socialists call a financial crisis their agenda,” Scalise continued.
Chairwoman of the RSC’s Article One Task Force, Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., added that the “calls to expand socialism in America have ignited a debate between commonsense versus crazy,” and that America “must never” elect the “false promise of ‘Democratic Socialism.’”
The Democratic Party did not respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.
