House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris claims communism infiltrating Dem party

The pathetic Freedom Caucus (TEA Party) is becoming even more pathetic. Don't they know that President Trump has been demanding a government stake in private investments? Trump has been taxing everyone using tariffs for no apparent reason other than collecting government revenue. Trump has upended trade deals and business plans on nihilistic whims. Trump has created his own private secret police on the flimsy excuse of using a paramilitary ICE for 'immigration enforcement'. Trump has been spending money like a power crazed progressive.
And the Freedom Caucus (TEA Party) has been a rubber stamp. No spine, no balls, no brains. And we're supposed bite on their Commie bait -- hook, line, and sinker? How pathetic.

July 25, 2026 -- A top conservative leader in the House GOP is arguing that supporters of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are pushing Democrats further left than even they are letting on.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., told Fox News Digital he's still hopeful Republicans have a chance of retaining their razor-thin majority in the lower chamber of Congress because Democrats' left flank will make American voters nervous come November.
"The Democrat party is now being infiltrated with truly communist elements. I think Americans are going to realize that the Democrats are truly the crazy party now, and the country can't tolerate that," Harris said. "So, I think that improves our chances in November."

Republicans are facing an uphill battle to retain control of the House of Representatives as the midterm elections creep closer. House lawmakers raced out of Washington Thursday to their home districts, where they will spend the next five weeks making the case to their constituents why the GOP should keep control for the latter half of President Donald Trump's final term.
One line that is already popping up frequently on the campaign trail references the recent slate of victories for DSA-backed candidates in Democratic primaries across the country.
In New York City, for example, two House candidates backed by Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani defeated incumbent progressive lawmakers and will likely sail to victory in the November general election.

"I think Mr. Mamdani in New York says exactly where the party is. He wants government-run everything. That's called communism. That's way beyond socialism. That's communism," Harris said.
When you want to control — for instance, you want have the grocery stores run by the government — that's the way it is in Russia. That's the way is in China. That's the way in communist-controlled countries. And anybody who's interested in that ought to look back at history and see how that works out."
Harris is in a safe red seat after Maryland Democrats thwarted an effort by their own party to redraw congressional lines there ahead of November.

Republicans were gifted the trifecta of political power. And the only thing they can do is beat dead horses? How pathetic.
Is this seed too 'pro Trump' for the Blue Bawlers?
LOL. The grocerty strores are NOT run by the govenment in China. That statement is just another example of American "Stupid is as stupid does." When I see one ridiculous statement like that, the whole fucking article is nothing more than a piece of shit for ignorant people to believe.
