Last week, Kaitlan Collins of CNN claimed that DSA members are not communists. This week, another CNN host is openly wondering why Republicans are calling DSA members communists.
How are these media people so incredibly misinformed? Or are they just lying to cover for the DSA? Maybe a bit of both.
In the clip below, host Audie Cornish says that Republicans are skipping over criticism of socialism and going right to communism. Maybe because that’s what the DSA people themselves keep saying out loud.

CNN’s Cornish Wonders Why Republicans Call the DSA ‘Communists’
On Tuesday’s CNN This Morning, the short morning show focused heavily on the trials and tribulations of the Democratic Socialists of America and their rise, with candidates being nominated across the country, including in NYC last week and possibly in Colorado this week. In one of many segments on socialism and the Democrat Party, Cornish asked her panel about GOP’s labeling of the DSA as communists and said, “Do you think it’s weird they’re skipping straight to communism?”…
After a soundbite played from a Chevliar love-fest on MS NOW last week, USA Today White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers returned to comments President Trump made on the “threat of communism,” which led to Cornish to respond as she posed a question to the group: “Do you think it’s weird they’re skipping straight to communism?”
Cornish then showed a graph of the unpopularity of socialism, which she said showed, “Americans in general don’t view it all that much better than they did in 2010,” before she returned to question the use of “communism”:
And I just wonder why you can’t just critique socialism as is, and you have to go straight to communism?

Maybe Republicans are calling them communists because that’s what they have openly stated as their goal.
