WATCH: House Dems dodge questions on socialist agenda that threatens to abolish key institutions

Fox News · 2 months ago

Several prominent House Democrats appeared unwilling to engage when questioned about a newly announced Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) plan that calls for eliminating the US Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court. Fox News Digital put the proposal to lawmakers including Reps Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna and Peter Aguilar, who largely avoided detailed responses, a reaction the article frames as evidence of Democrats distancing themselves from the party's socialist wing. The episode feeds into a wider Republican narrative that some Democratic figures are aligned with, or reluctant to criticise, far-left positions.

Rep. Ro Khanna directly stated "I don't support that" when asked about the DSA's plan, while the other lawmakers named gave non-committal or evasive answers, according to the report. The article situates the exchange within a broader run of Fox News coverage scrutinising Democratic socialists and progressive figures, including a separate DSA member's comments on supporting "secret Nazis" and Senator Ashley Moody's remark that democratic socialists are "pushing a con." No further detail on the DSA proposal's origin, formal status or level of support within the party is provided in the article.

  • DSA unveiled a plan to abolish the Senate, presidency and Supreme Court.
  • Reps Khanna, Omar and Aguilar avoided detailed comment when asked.
  • Khanna said he does not support the DSA proposal.
