Fetterman Warns of Socialism’s Rise in the Democratic Party: ‘This Is Lunacy’

Fetterman cited a CBS News poll showing 58% of Democratic respondents view socialism positively as he warned of the party’s leftward shift.

  • On Sunday, Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman criticized a new CBS News poll, calling findings that 58 percent of Democrats view socialism positively "lunacy."
  • Fetterman's critique follows recent primary victories by democratic socialists and progressive insurgents in New York, Los Angeles, Michigan, and Colorado; he previously warned in June about the "dirtbag left."
  • The CBS News survey of 648 Democratic respondents showed 58 percent view socialism positively, while 50 percent view capitalism negatively; only 32 percent held a positive view of capitalism.
  • Sen. Mike Lee responded to Fetterman's post by inviting him to "please join us," while Fetterman cited a trip to Croatia where locals were "mystified" by American interest in socialism.
  • Fetterman refuses to engage in extreme rhetoric, previously stating he rejects "stupid terms like 'end-stage capitalism'" and maintains capitalism is the only system proven to raise quality of life globally.
