Watch: 'Privileged Idiot' DSA Co-Chair Has Absolute Porridge For Brains
The Democrat party has been freaking out about the Democratic Socialists of late - despite striking similarities between their policies - because while Democrats are happy to sweet talk voters into socialist ideas that signal maximum virtue, they don't actually want to enact policies that would make blue-city budgets even more dire than they are.
In short, the party is panicking because the voters they radicalized are electing radicals...
So what better way to let progressives see what they're voting for? Trot out a co-chair of the DSA with maybe two brain cells to rub together, ask her simple questions, and watch her implode.

Romer stumbled hard...
Romer: Uh, yeah, you know, again, I don’t have like a solid…
Remnick: But shouldn’t you? If you’re the co-chair of the DSA, shouldn’t you be more specific than ‘taxing the hell’ out of something? What exactly do you mean?
Romer: Um, that’s a good question. "So again, it’s democracy, right? And we have to look at what we have to spend and what we need. We don’t want to depend on the existence of millionaires because that means people are still getting exploited."
Watch:
DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer says "We believe in taxing the hell out of millionaires."
She then struggles to explain what that actually means:

She was also asked the very loaded question about whether DSA believes Israel 'has a right to exist.'
And instead of something about how Palestinians also have a right to exist, asymmetric warfare, or Israel using the US to fight a proxy war in Iran based on decades of being 'two weeks away' from a nuke - Romer once again failed to formulate anything resembling a response one might expect from a DSA honcho (or not, nevermind).

Don Lemon Seeks Dismissal Of Federal Charges Over Minnesota Church Protest
Authored by Savannah Hulsey Pointer via The Epoch Times,
Former CNN host Don Lemon has asked a federal judge to dismiss the charges brought against him in connection with an anti-immigration enforcement protest at a Minnesota church.
The January protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations interrupted a worship service at the church. Lemon, who was charged with violating federal civil rights laws, argued that he was not participating in the protest but was there only to document the events.
Lemon’s attorneys filed a motion on Aug. 7 claiming the indictment against their client was the result of “vindictive prosecution.” The filing called the charges “flagrant and blatant efforts to punish a journalist for his protected conduct warrant further discovery into the government’s motive and an evidentiary hearing.”
They cited President Donald Trump’s previous negative comments about Lemon as evidence of bias.
On Jan. 18, Lemon attended a protest at Minneapolis Cities Church at the height of ICE action in Minneapolis. He was arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles on Jan. 29.
He and eight other defendants were charged with one count of “conspiracy against the right of religious freedom at a place of worship” under 18 U.S. Code § 241 in February of this year.
The defendants are also charged with one count of injuring, intimidating, or interfering with the right of religious freedom at a place of worship under 18 USC § 248.
Together, the charges carry a fine of up to $20,000 and a maximum of 10 1/2 years in prison.
Lemon pled not guilty in February, denying any wrongdoing. The YouTube creator argued that the protests were an exercise of the demonstrators’ federally protected rights and were not in violation of any laws.
Federal prosecutors announced in early June that dozens of anti-immigration enforcement protesters who interrupted the Minnesota church service will not face state criminal charges.
However, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is continuing to pursue criminal civil rights charges against 39 people, including Lemon.
Footage of the event shows demonstrators in the aisles, chanting anti-ICE slogans, and the indictment alleges they hindered those in the church from exiting, even allegedly harassing children.
Demonstrators were seen chanting “Justice for Renee Good,” referring to a woman fatally shot by federal agents in connection with anti-ICE protests.
The DOJ eventually charged dozens in connection with the church protest. St. Paul City Attorney Irene Kao commented on the decision not to charge some of the protesters, saying a review of the footage and other evidence available to criminal prosecutors caused her office to determine that not all those involved should be prosecuted under Minnesota statutes.
“Current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes,” Kao said, adding that the decision not to prosecute “should not be interpreted as an endorsement of unlawful behavior or public disorder.”
The decision not to charge some of the protesters was criticized by one of the pastors of the church where the protest took place.
“According to the St. Paul City Attorney’s logic, it is perfectly fine for agitators to invade a mosque, a cathedral, or a temple, intimidate the families and children inside, and shut down their religious gathering. Just call it a ‘protest,’” Cities Church lead pastor Jonathan Parnell said in a statement.
Lemon’s livestream was at the center of the investigation, and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon responded to the video on X, quoting Lemon, saying that a house of worship isn’t a forum for public protest.
“It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws!” Dhillon, who leads the Office of Civil Rights, said in a Jan. 18 post. “You are on notice!”
The DOJ did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment.
