Far-left activist Analilia Mejia has just been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, defeating Republican Joe Hathaway in the special election to fill the seat vacated by Mikie Sherrill.
This win narrows the already razor-thin Republican majority in the House and hands a powerful platform to one of the most extreme voices in the Democrat Party.
As The Gateway Pundit reported back in March, Mejia is no moderate. This Squad-endorsed Democratic Socialist has a long history of unhinged statements, including claiming that Jesus Christ was “likely a Democratic Socialist” and bizarrely declaring that public toilets are a form of socialism that critics should stop using if they oppose big government.
Mejia, a former national political director for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign and co-executive director of the far-left Center for Popular Democracy, ran on a full-blown socialist wishlist that reads like a blueprint for economic destruction:
- Abolish ICE entirely and open the floodgates to illegal immigration.
- Universal healthcare and childcare for all because nothing says “affordability” like making every American taxpayer foot the bill.
- A punishing $25 federal minimum wage that will crush small businesses, spike unemployment, and drive up costs for everyone.
- Massive tax increases on the wealthy and corporations to fund her giveaway schemes.
- Cancel all student loan debt and provide free tuition for college
This is the same radical who previously worked in the Biden Department of Labor, served as director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, and has been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pramila Jayapal, Elizabeth Warren, and Cory Booker. She’s spent years pushing the most extreme left-wing policies imaginable, from comparing migrant detention centers to concentration camps to expressing sympathy for the “desire for destruction” during the 2020 George Floyd riots.
