Vance on Dem Socialists: ‘It’s Not Raising Taxes a Little Bit,’ It’s an Attack on People Who Have that Wealth to Begin with

TRANSCRIPT:

VANCE: "It's the direction Democrats are headed and it is communism, Laura. This is not — you know, this is not raising taxes a little bit, however much we might disagree with that. This is abolishing the police. This is letting criminals run amok in your cities. This is flood your country with low-wage third-world immigrants. And importantly, it’s confiscating wealth, not because we want to make anybody’s life better, but purely out of resentment, out of an attack on the people who have that wealth to begin with. It really is something we haven’t seen in the United States of America in the history of our politics. Laura, I think it actually is a consequence of the fact that the Democrat Party has become run by the universities and by the professors. This is not working-class union Democrats. This is not socially conservative people who just want a fair shake at life. This is fundamentally a view that the United States is an evil country that must be dismantled from the ground and then built back up. That's communism at its core, and you see more and more movement in that direction from the Democrats."
