Political strategist James Carville offered a series of harsh criticisms against the far-left Democrats taking aim at their own party in the ongoing primaries, while calling the candidates’ ongoing cannibalization of longtime incumbents “part of the problem.” In a blistering video, Friday, for his “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville blasted the nationwide sweep of far-left and Democratic Socialist primary election victories, while calling certain candidates “part of the problem” within the party. “These people are so f------ stupid I don’t know what to say about it,” Carville said. “So now we have this idea that these insurgent Democrats — and...

Socalist Colorado congressional candidate Melat Kiros blamed Israel’s activity in the Middle East for inspiring attacks on Jewish people in other countries during an interview on Wednesday. Kiros is part of a wave of anti-Israel, far-left candidates gaining popularity in the Democratic Party. She won her primary in her Denver-area district this week, ousting longtime incumbent Diana Degette on the heels of far-left candidates winning their primaries in New York last month.

Fired from her law firm for yelling "Free Palestine," the communist barista from Ethiopia is $250,000 in debt, owns nothing, isn't married, gets by serving cappuccino, and wants to take out another loan to get her PhD. Does she sound like she makes good life choices? When she wins, she is going to have control over your life. That's why she's running. She can't control her own life, so she wants to control yours. She's not happy, so she is going to make everybody else unhappy. She says she's going to take away the private health care you have. She's...

Monday on “The Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about Melat Kiros. Marlow said, “If I had read that and told you that that was said by Usama bin Laden, not one of you in the audience would doubt me.”

After two Mamdani-backed, card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) political party won their respective House primaries last Tuesday in New York, all eyes turned to Colorado's 1st Congressional District Democrat primary, which featured longtime incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette facing off against DSA member Melat Kiros. The primary was Tuesday night, and, with 78 percent reporting as of this writing, Decision Desk HQ has called it for Kiros in what may be the biggest primary upset for an incumbent Democrat House member this midterm election cycle. DeGette, 68, is Colorado's longest-serving member of Congress, having been in office...

Colorado House Primary Results 2026 Longtime Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette faces an energetic challenge in her primary, with democratic socialist Melat Kiros winning prominent national endorsements and building a base of volunteers. Meanwhile, Democratic voters are also picking a candidate in Colorado’s most closely divided congressional district, the 8th District currently held by GOP Rep. Gabe Evans.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is setting its sights on Colorado. A handful of Tuesday's primaries in the Democrat-dominated Rocky Mountain state are the next battleground in the fight between the far left and the center-left establishment over the future of the Democratic Party. "Today, the East Coast, next week the Mountain West," the DSA wrote in a social media post last week, hours after their ballot-box victories in a handful of congressional primaries in New York City. The post came after DSA-aligned Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old far-left community organizer, ousted incumbent Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chair of...

- So, Mehek, you look at the success that these candidates have had in New York City, here in Washington, D .C., a couple of weeks ago. Does that extend next to Colorado? Does that work in districts that are beyond big, very blue cities? - It does. This new Communist Party that is taking over is not just in New York. We've seen it expand in eight states. And this is where these communists are very... eight states, and this is where these communists are very sincere and clever they're talking like you said about kitchen table issues they're...

The insurgent left just shook New York. Colorado Democrats increasingly think they could be next. Democrats in the Centennial State are bracing for an anti-establishment earthquake of their own. Tuesday’s primary election will test the left’s momentum beyond the five boroughs — and whether the anti-incumbent fever will topple Sen. Michael Bennet and Rep. Diana DeGette, a pair of longtime fixtures of state Democratic politics. Bennet allies acknowledge his primary for governor race is far closer than they expected, a startling position for one of the state’s best-known Democrats, while DeGette is facing similar anti-Washington headwinds, as internal polling in...

If you live in Colorado, GO VOTE!

Rep. Diana DeGette, a 15-term incumbent, is facing her most serious primary challenge yet from lawyer and PhD student Melat Kiros on Tuesday. Melat Kiros was born in 1997, the year her representative in the U.S. House, Democrat Diana DeGette, took office. On Tuesday, Kiros hopes to unseat her. The next frontier of the fight for the Democratic Party is in Denver, where DeGette, a 15-term incumbent and longtime progressive, is facing her most serious primary challenge yet from Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist and first-time candidate. Democrats’ widespread dissatisfaction and anger with their party leadership and a push for...

This isn't the first time Melat Kiros has rationalized violence against civilians.

Kiros entered the United States legally as a child after her family won the Diversity Visa Lottery. The modern immigrant-activist position is simple: America is good enough to take from, but not good enough to govern itself. Her campaign materials and public statements outline that position without qualification.
