Socialists and communists are having more influence on the Democratic Party — and Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) does not like it.
He noted figures like Socialist streamer Hasan Piker are pulling the partytowards more radical ideas.
"I would never try to elevate … a communist just because [Piker] has followers on some, on Twitch, whatever that is,” Fetterman told Fox News Digital at the Israel on Campus Coalition conference Tuesday. “But overall, if you identify with a communist who praises Mao and Cuba and for these places, that should be foreign to any Democrat. Without a doubt, that's having an impact.”
Piker has become more influential on the Democratic left and has backed Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He has also campaigned for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed
Piker has also touted Mao Zedong and blamed the U.S. for the suffering in communist Cuba.
