Cruz: 'We're Witnessing a Hostile Takeover of the Democrat Party by Communists and Islamists'
Breitbart ^ | 17 Oct 2026 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 10/17/2026 2:29:30 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke optimistically about Republicans’ chances in the November 3 midterm elections, declaring that the GOP nominee for his state’s open U.S. Senate seat was going to win.

In a joint appearance with Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Cruz said a “hostile takeover” of the Democratic Party by communists and Islamists was underway.

“Senator Cruz, I want to turn real quickly to Texas,” guest host Charlie Hurt said. “You know, we’ve seen a lot of these polls showing Talarico and Ken Paxton within the margin of error. In the past, you have been underestimated in the polls. What do you make of the polling in Texas right now?”

Cruz replied, “Look, in Texas, it’s a real fight, just like Alaska, it’s a real fight. Both races, I think, are tied right now. Now, here’s the good news, Charlie, we’re going to win Texas, and we’re going to win Alaska. Both of these races, we’re going to win, but we’re 18 days out. It’s all about turnout. The crazies, the radicals, look, we’re witnessing a hostile takeover of the Democrat Party by communists and Islamists. They’re going to show up. We’ve got to make sure commonsense conservatives show up.”

Not really hostile, there’s not much fighting against it within their ranks.

Omygosh. It’s not a hostile takeover. It’s a handing off of the baton.

Hostile? They’re welcoming them with open arms, kisses and bouquets.

The big picture, I agree with Cruz and hope he is right about winning.

Nitpick:
“we’re witnessing a hostile takeover of the Democrat Party by communists and Islamists” Where is the resistance? The Democrats facilitated this takeover. Maybe Schumer does not want to be replaced, but that is strictly a personal matter. Democrats are all for the communist and Islamist takeover of Britain, France, and America.

Really...it does remind me of that old joke I recall from when I was a teenager where a guy forces himself on a girl and she is saying feebly:

“Don’t! Stop! Don’t! Stop! Don’t...Stop! Don’t stop...don’t stop! Don’t Stop!”

Not that rape is funny...it is that the reaction of the Left to this takeover of their party seems to sound just like that joke.

I wouldn’t exactly call it hostile. Democrats have been voting and trending towards totalitarian for many decades. It is just time to pay the Piper.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2026/09/12/democrats-dsa-midterm-elections-socialism-capitalism/91676903007/

A better way to think about DSA isn’t as a hostile takeover, but as the vanguard of a radicalized professional class. It’s a continuation of a trend already reshaping the Democratic Party.


The DSA is the face but it the trend of who they have always been. It is socialism but it is also different. It is not the worker class making the change put professionals this time

Copilot Search Branding

A radicalized professional class refers to highly educated, credentialed professionals whose political and cultural views have shifted toward radical or transformative ideologies, often in opposition to both traditional capitalist elites and the working class.

Definition and Origins

The term “professional-managerial class” (PMC) was first articulated by Barbara and John Ehrenreich in the 1970s to describe a social layer situated between labor and capital, composed of professionals such as teachers, social workers, engineers, doctors, and managers

. Unlike the traditional bourgeoisie, the PMC does not primarily own capital but exerts influence through expertise, technical knowledge, and managerial authority. Its historical emergence coincided with the Progressive Era, when modern professions formalized standards and assumed roles in supervising production, social welfare, and cultural life

I think the technical term is Anschluss. You can hardly see the hostility amongst the cheering crowds.

The only hostility are those old leaders just halfway through filling up Iranian-style delivery pallets of cash on the way out. Better get the forklift to the escape plane before Ilhan Omar lears about you taking "her" money.

We're seeing the dims now openly embracing their communism.

What they aren't seeing is Islam is about to take them over and then we're going to have problems like France.

"We are witnessing ..."

I think I witnessed this decades ago. All that is new is more openness about it.

It's happening in the Republican party, too.

He lost as a Democrat so he became a Republican and is now running for office. "Republican" Imtiaz Mohammad, a Paki, looking pleased as punch with Somali Muslim radical Democrat.....Ilhan Omar.

Mohammed says he will use his office (if elected) to benefit Pakistan.

Will also urge Muslims to run to establish a powerful.Muslim voting bloc

This is what happens when you coddle the communists and import the islamists.

Both parties of congress are to blame. They’re turning America into a balkanized, dysfunctional country.

1. Repeal the Hart-Celler Act of 1965.

2. Pass the Save America Act.

3. End birth-right citizenship.
