Victor Davis Hanson Says DSA Communism is Not a Real Grassroots Movement: ‘Mostly White, Affluent, but Angry They Can’t Buy a NYC Condo’
Conservative scholar and historian Victor Davis Hanson appeared on FOX News tonight with Laura Ingraham and talked about the rise of the communists in the DSA, saying that it is not a genuine grassroots movement.
Hanson suggests that most of the people voting for these candidates are white, affluent and highly educated, but are bitter because they can’t afford to buy a condo in New York City, which they think they are entitled to because of their education.
He also mentions how bizarre it is that most of these people are atheists, yet are seemingly willing to embrace Islamic candidates.
He also torches the hypocrisy of wealthy Democrat politicians embracing them saying, “A lot of urban people think this message is cool because it promises them free stuff. But when you have Ro Khanna attacking capitalism while his wife drives a $200,000 Range Rover, Gavin Newsom living in a $9 million house, and socialist influencers driving Porsches, the hypocrisy becomes impossible to ignore.”
