Back in June, we called on the mainstream media to pressure Democrats into answering questions about the increasingly radical Democratic Socialists of America platform.
“With the rapid takeover of their party by the Democratic Socialists of America underway,” we wrote, “it’s time for every Democrat to answer for what the DSA believes in.” (See: “10 Questions Every Democrat Must Now Be Made To Answer.”)
We’re glad that one news network, at least, has taken us up on our advice.
Fox News lately has been prodding prominent Democrats to answer whether they agree with planks in the DSA’s latest platform, which includes proposals such as defunding the War Department, nationalizing corporations, and abolishing the presidency, the Senate, and the Supreme Court.
It’s been almost comical to watch them evade the Fox reporters, or mumble that they aren’t members of the DSA, or regurgitate word salads.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said when asked about the new agenda. “I haven’t read the proposal.” That’s despite his having endorsed several DSA candidates.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., refused to even acknowledge the presence of the reporter.
California Rep. Pete Aguilar said, “I’m not a member of the DSA, so I can’t comment on any documents that they put out.”
Except Aguilar also told Fox News Digital “that he was ‘not at all’ worried about the wave of far-left, socialist candidates complicating the Democratic Party’s agenda. ‘I look forward to working with all our colleagues who run as Democrats,’ Aguilar said.”
When Fox asked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez if she supported the DSA’s call to eliminate the Senate, her barely coherent response was:
“I mean, again, I’m not running for uh, for, any larger office presently. That is, of course, a constitutional question. Um, and I … that, that’s a constitutional question.”
When asked again if she supported getting rid of the Senate as an institution, AOC mumbled about how “I don’t support elements of the institution that were founded on, uh, on Jim Crow.”
Fox did manage to get one Democrat, Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar, to denounce the DSA.
“As a Democrat, I reject what the DSA is doing. I read their platform, and it is radical,” Cuellar said. “They’re trying to use the Democratic Party. They’re not talking about those radical positions. They’re talking about affordability and housing, things that sound good. But we as Democrats, we reject that radical faction,” Cuellar said.
Cuellar is right. As our latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows, the American public overwhelmingly rejects key planks of the DSA’s increasingly radical platform. Even Democrats aren’t supporting them. (See: “Americans Reject The DSA’s Policy Platform: I&I/TIPP Poll.”) Yet the party seems resigned to letting socialists take over.
Unfortunately, Fox appears to be alone in asking Democrats about the DSA’s platform. The rest of the news media are, apparently, happy to help the DSA hide its agenda … until it’s too late.

Fox seems to be alone and democRAT voters don’t watch Fox. Maybe it will get more Republicans off the couch on election day.
They have become gods.
“Maybe it will get more Republicans off the couch on election day.”
That’s funny. The Washington Generals, (Republicans), don’t really try to beat the Globetrotters, (communists). Expanded government is good business for politicians.
Because it’s their platform too.
The rhetoric may differ slightly, but the voting records match all the way back for several years. Dems don’t like admitting that they are socialists at heart and in deed.
Yes, their platform is destructive of the republic. But that is what they want people to talk about. The question that should be asked is, how will you make these changes to the Constitution?
It seems apparent to me that they plan to destroy the Constitution by non-Constitutional means, and possibly with violence. If so, we should insist their party be abolished or not allowed to participate in elections. How can they take the oath of office?
If they are asked enough questions, some of them will tell the truth about their plans.
They’ve spent the last 10+ years accusing Trump of trying to destroy the Constitution. Now members of their own party are advocating destroying the very fundamentals of our Constitution - no more executive branch, no more judicial branch, unicameral legislature, zero checks and balances. Of course they’re going to dodge these questions.
In 2019 during the National Convention of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) they could barely conduct the meeting. I watched the livestream for awhile like someone watching a train wreck. Equal parts turning away and looking on in horror.
The floor session was repeatedly derailed with crazed insanity, with delegates screaming about ‘sensory overload’ and where the gender pronoun interruptions never stopped. At one point they tried to ban clapping and instead using only “jazz hands” so as not to trigger anxiety.
The asylum gates were left unlocked.
The Holy Bible speaks about this wicked kind, they have been given over.
God gave them up.
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” - Romans 1:28
The rodents think the media can make the connection go away. The media will try but since it no longer controls the news narrative the media will be unable to help. The huge money advantage We have will get the message out as it is already doing.
The other networks, no doubt, will give the DSA a pass/and or praise their platform.
The Democrats need to be made to own the increasingly popular, overt Commie section of their party.
Because the Democrats know that promising something for nothing will always be popular.
They've openly talked about "stacking the Court" -- the Supreme Court, with their own hand-picked Justices. If they get the Presidency AND the Senate, they can move forward with that (though I don't know if they can increase the number of seats without both houses of Congress.)
If the Dems/Socialists can get the SCOTUS to re-interpret the current Constitution, they could potentially wreak havoc on a lot of the current government structure.
I asked both ChatGPT and Grok this question:
Has ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN reported on the radical platform of the Democrat Socialist of America platform that calls for Eliminating the President, Eliminating the Supreme Court, Eliminating the Senate, Eliminating the Constitution?
ChatGPT response:
Based on available reporting, I could not find evidence that ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, or CNN have reported specifically on those four institutional proposals in the DSA’s 2025–2026 platform in the way you describe.
Grok response:
No, major outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN have not prominently reported on or scrutinized the DSA’s platform in those exact terms as a major national story.
I’m not surprised
If the subject didn’t say no, he said yes.
Uhh, ‘cause they started it and support it?
There is absolutely no difference between your typical Demo and a hamas-loving, Jew hating, white-hating racist. This garbage started when the arseholes from the 60’s got into power and spawned trash.
“overt Commie section of their party”
When the curtain is pulled all the way back, they are that vile murderous Jacobin spirit of anti-Christ rising up for the last days.
I have seen where they want to abolish the office of the President and abolish the Senate. That goes way beyond Court-stacking.
