Key House Democrats Caught Flat Footed When Asked About Democratic Socialists’ Plan for America

Key House Democrats including Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna, and Pete Aguilar were left fumbling this week when asked to comment on the latest radical proposal from the Democratic Socialists of America.

The DSA’s platform, called “Workers Deserve More,” openly calls for abolishing core pillars of the American government including the Senate, the presidency, and even the Supreme Court.

The plan would replace those institutions with a single legislature controlling both an elected executive branch and a judiciary directly answerable to Congress.

When questioned by Fox News Digital, Rep. Khanna quickly distanced himself from the proposal, saying, “I don’t support that. I haven’t read the proposal.”

It was an unsurprising response for a lawmaker trying to play both sides of the ideological split within his own party.

The socialist plan does not stop at dismantling the federal system.

It also seeks to erase U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, pardon all aliens regardless of criminal behavior, and defund the Department of War, the historical term for the Department of Defense.

To top it off, the DSA platform calls for granting full voting rights to felons and even noncitizens, while ending all deportations entirely.
