Working-class zeroes: Radical socialist Democrats pretend to be blue-collar allies
Narrative Analysis: Name Calling

Before Maine Democrat Graham Platner’s Senate campaign imploded due to credible sexual assault allegations, he had carefully cultivated an image as a working-class hero. The rugged, bearded 41-year-old was a combat veteran and an oyster farmer. “The Platner thing isn’t hard to understand,” the journalist Noah Smith posted on X before the community notes poured []

Racist Watters Calls Election Of Mamdani-Endorsed Candidates 'Third World Takeover'
We all knew the red-baiting would be bad after several of candidates endorsed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their primaries this week, but Fox's Jesse Watters decided to take it to a whole new level on this Wednesday's The Five. Here's Watters, like all of them on that sorry excuse for news network, conflating Socialism with Communism and Democratic Socialists, none of which are the same, and tossing in lots of fearmongering that the world is going to come to an end because everyone on the left supposedly wants to steal right-wingers' stuff and race-baiting about the number of immigrants that live in New York City. PERINO: Jesse, there's feels like there's this momentum behind this DSA guys and Zohran Mamdani barely won his election, but now he's leading the party. WATTERS: Well, hips is cooked. So is Schumer. They have no clout. They got rocked on their home turf. So bye bye. read more
