Ethiopian Born Colorado DSA Candidate Melat Kiros Says There’s ‘Nothing More American’ Than Socialism (VIDEO)

Melat Kiros is a DSA candidate running for Congress in Colorado. She recently appeared on ‘Firing Line’ on PBS and tried to argue that there’s nothing more American than socialism.

Kiros comes off as a campus radical because that’s exactly what she is. She has spent years in college as a professional student.

She was also born in Ethiopia. Like many other DSA radicals who were not born in this country, she got here fifteen minutes ago, but believes she has the right to go to Congress and decide issues that will directly affect your God-given Constitutional rights.

Breitbart News reports:

There is “nothing more American” than socialism, and it has proven to deliver life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, Colorado congressional candidate Melat Kiros asserted during a recent interview.

Kiros, who believes there should be a Trans Bill of Rights, made the declaration during a recent interview on PBS’s Firing Line with Margaret Hoover . The candidate staunchly defended socialism, asserting that it has delivered on the ideas outlined in the founding documents of the United States.

“I don’t think there’s anything more American than subscribing to an economic philosophy that, as the evidence shows, is the only one that’s actually capable of delivering things like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” Kiros said. “I really can’t.”

“Socialism has proven to deliver on the values of the Declaration of Independence more than capitalism has?” Hoover asked.

“Yeah,” Kiros declared. “You know, when we talk about capitalism, you know, one of the things that folks talk about with capitalism as a theory is that it’s responsible for you know delivering people out of poverty here in the U.S.,” which she said “isn’t the entire story.”

Capitalism offers choices and delivers prosperity.

Socialism delivers poverty and death. History is filled with examples of it, but these people think they are smarter than history.
