Socialist Showdown

Playbook: “If You’ve watched the NRCC this cycle, you will notice that the GOP’s House campaign arm has focused a good deal on branding incumbent House Democrats as socialists. This is part of a strategy: They believe Democrats have veered far outside the bounds of the traditional Democratic Party, and voters are not going to stand for it.”

“The NRCC is launching socialistshowdown.com today. It’s a ploy to try to foster primary challenges for House Democrats. The banner of the website features Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar next to Fidel Castro and Vladimir Lenin.”
