Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., predicted defeat for far-left candidates in the upcoming midterm elections, expressing confidence that American voters will reject what he described as the rising ‘politics of envy.’ Speaking on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend,’ Lawler echoed President Donald Trump’s warning about the growth of far-left ideology in America during his Mount Rushmore address.
Warning Against Far-Left Ideology
Lawler noted that Democratic socialist candidates have won several primary victories across the country in recent months, including in his home state of New York. He argued the recent victories, along with what he described as anti-American sentiments, are ‘desecrating’ the vision of the Founding Fathers ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
House Speaker Mike Johnson offered a similar warning after several far-left candidates won primaries in New York. He argued it is a ‘very serious time’ for the nation and that communism is now ‘on our own shores.’ ‘The Marxists have nominated some of the most radical candidates to ever run for office, and they’re running for Congress,’ Johnson said at a news conference. ‘The insurgent left is on the rise.’
