Ten House Democrats are pledging to fight the growing influence of far-left socialists in their party. Not surprisingly, they are all in competitive districts. They put up this “fig leaf,” desperately hoping to deflect incoming attacks on the Marxism in their party. The fact that only 10 House Democrats would put their names to this anti-socialist effort is proof that it is too little. More revealing is the fact that none of them are members of the party leadership. Hakeem Jeffries knows that signing his name to this pledge would be signing his own political death sentence.
