Almost every House Democrat on Tuesday voted against a congressional resolution disavowing socialism and calling for the enactment of President Trump’s election security bill.
The non-binding resolution, introduced by Rep. Jeff Crank (R-Colo.), asked lawmakers to condemn and denounce “socialism in all its forms,” including the increasingly influential Democratic Socialists of America movement, and oppose the implementation of socialist policies in the US.
The resolution passed in a 220-192 vote, with 192 Democrats opposing the measure.
Eight Democrats voted with all Republicans in support of the resolution: Reps. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Darren Soto (D-Fla.), Jared Golden (D-Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.), Don Davis (D-NC) and Gabe Vasquez (D-NM).
Two Democrats voted present: Reps. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH).
“The DSA candidate platform stands in direct contrast to our republic,” Crank charged ahead of the vote. “Getting rid of the United States Senate, open borders, defunding the police, allowing non-citizens to vote in federal elections — those aren’t consistent with our Constitution.
“DSA is an insidious movement within the Democratic Party.”
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) explained how communism in Cuba “destroyed” her mother’s family, stripping her mother of her home, her grandfather of his small business, and causing “my family to break up and never see each other again.”
“That is what they’re refusing to condemn today,” Malliotakis said, slamming Democrats.

Does anyone believe them?
I’m surprised NY’s two “ moderates” from Long Island Gillen and Suozzi didnt wote yes. Their polling must show them with little chance of losing.
Well, they have at least 192 supporters for their crap.
(Almost every House Democrat on Tuesday voted against

That figures
Socialism is the latest phase of the Democratic Party
It’s Democrat Party.
And there’s not one damned thing that’s democratic about it.

That’s for sure
Another huge gift. They just can’t help themselves.
Maybe the guy who handed them the cash deposit to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
We have 192 Communists in Congress... My ‘old’ congresswoman voted with the Communists, Kathy Castro, but she’ll lose in November. My house went to a Republican district...
