The House of Representatives’ socialist “Squad” could soon start looking more like a platoon.
With a wave of far-left candidates winning recent Democratic primaries across the country, the radical group is certain to expand — and wield far greater influence — after the November elections, critics say.
The Squad will likely go from seven current members to 14.
Two virtually guaranteed additions after the midterms are, like “Squad” founder AOC, from the Big Apple.
Claire Valdez — who vowed to implement nationwide rent control if elected to Congress — easily won the primary in June for New York’s 7th House District and the general election is considered a formality in the blue district that includes Bushwick and other parts of Brooklyn being labeled the “Commie Corridor.”
Darializa Chevalier, 32, is a radical who attended an anti-Israel rally the day after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas. She has said the US committed worse atrocities than Hamas and echoed Kremlin talking points that blamed the US for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

******** This ugly critter is my favoritite, She says she converted to Islam. She will be joining AOC etc
I see this as the implosion of the Democrat Party. The crazies can win some local races but they can’t win the country with crazy socialist ideas. That’s my opinion.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party is determined to do nothing for anyone. It’s a pointless party with no achievements. I think the GOP could be transformed into a vibrant activist party strongly focused of conservatism. But so far that isn’t quite happening.
Look at the doily wearing zombie behind her. The muzzies will have fun playing kickball with his head.
...or not................
CONVERTED???????? B S
WHERE IS HER BURKA?????
Yeah, it's worked so well in New York to keep rents low.
Or drop to five. Denaturalization will take it to three.
Call them by their real name: “Noo” Socialists!
We don’t need more “Noo” Socialists in Congress, and we sure as heck don’t need AOC as a “Noo” Socialist President!
