Boom! He's repackaging Communism as 'compassion' and it is anything but.
Socialism and or communism has killed more people than all wars combined https://t.co/VhGTm6tCtu

They are different sides of the same coin.

A bunch of spoiled rotten trust fund babies who are so bored.
Let's trade them for each other

Great idea!
Also not great places to be Jewish or homosexual. These workers' paradises are not refuges for oppressed minorities, as these people end up being scapegoats for failures of the state to deliver its utopian dream.

Mamdani pretends to care so much about marginalized populations. Those people don't do so well in these 'workers' paradises'.
People risk their lives to escape communism... yet... liberals want to bring it here. They will destroy our America.

It's not even just liberals. Mamdani comes from a whole other country and went through a whole process to become a citizen here only to try and overthrow our way of life. That's an invader. Maybe it's a bit more polite than using a gun, but it's an invader, nonetheless.
RecommendedHe shall be known in the sacred halls of history as “Bessent the Badass!” 🙌😍🇺🇸

That's a very appropriate nickname.
Scott Bessent is the most surprising person in this administration, and he's so funny!

I’ve been so impressed by @SecScottBessent. He’s an engaging speaker who knows how to make a point.

It appears that Pakistan contributed significantly to the financing of his campaign.

Oh, many foreign actors were committed to getting Mamdani elected.
That was one of the most forceful speeches we've heard from Bessent in a while.

He should be out front more.
Love this man!
