President Donald Trump has been warning recently that communism will pose a threat to the U.S. if Democrats win in the upcoming midterm elections.
Last week, he referred to Democrats as “hard core, godless Communists”.
But experts say his claims, echoed by Vice President J.D. Vance and other Republican leaders, are off base.
Here’s a closer look at the facts.
THE FACTS: No candidate openly belonging to the U.S. Communist Party has ever been elected to state or federal office, according to experts. Although there are fringes of the Democratic Party that have expressed support for communist ideas, experts say that they still advocate for a market-based economy and that it is inaccurate to paint the entire party with such a broad brush. Trump recently began referring to Democrats pejoratively as “Dumocrats.”
“The reality is that none of these major political figures in the Democratic Party, even those further out on the left, are identifying as communists,” said Marc Selverstone, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center for Public Affairs, adding that it’s an opportunity to portray Democrats as marginal figures.

She was right.
Too bad it was too soon to for her to write about the ex pert Katie Couric.
AP offices should be burned down by now.
Do you know/ believe on their website they ask dor donations to support independent journalism? Why they’re just like FR !
As is "Associated Press."
Just more AP bs propaganda
Well it’s really not communism communism! It’s a never before tried type of communism!
Is this a gaslight I see before me?🙄
Did the AP ever do a fact-check of the left’s claims that Trump is a Nazi? I really doubt it.
Nope. It is the same people that told us Rachel Levine is not only just an ugly woman but an Admiral to boot. You obviously haven’t had enough Kool aid.
I guess the AP doesn’t know what the term “National Socialism” means,,,,,as it is exactly what the democratic Party espouses now.
I always rely on experts to show me the way.
Bwaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
I never did like kool-aid.😝
Overton Window. Coming out as a full blown communist is not yet acceptable so they use the term democratic socialist but in reality are just communists .
If it’s been reported that self-proclaimed “experts” say it, that settles the matter! /s
Your sarcasm has been reported to the Ministry of Truth. Have a happy 4th.
All varieties of collectivism are bad
All require a primary state
😱of course
