Fox News’ Laura Ingraham invited Democratic strategist James Carville to join with the Republican Party, urging him to “turn to us” to “defeat” the rise of Democratic socialism in his party. 
Carville has been clear about his opposition to the rise of the Democratic socialist movement, telling Fox News on Sunday that if streamer Hasan Piker — who has backed several self-described Democratic socialist candidates — becomes “a force” in the Democratic Party, “I’m out of here,” adding that he’s sure that an “overwhelming majority” of Democrats agree with him. 
Ingraham mentioned some of these figures Monday on The Ingraham Angle , referencing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed , who campaigned with Piker in April, and Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong , who brought the streamer, along with Rep. 
Ilhan Omar (D-MN), on stage during a Sunday campaign rally. 
“She’s an avowed socialist with a reported history of mental illness, including bipolar disorder — we hope she’s getting treated — but she has a TikTokable campaign zing, and all the kids are crazy about it. 
This woman is cruising to the gubernatorial nomination, but she’s a blithering idiot,” Ingraham said of Hong. 
The socialists have momentum. 
It is only a matter of time. 
The Democrats are going to become a socialist party. 
It’s gonna happen unless the sensible Democrats do more than appear on podcasts, cable shows, and they start just standing for sanity. 
So, instead of fighting with the types of people who watch The Ingraham Angle , Carville and other Democrats who oppose socialism should join our effort to turn the GOP into a party that is rebuilding the American middle class. 
Turn to us. 
The question is, how many more are there like them in the Democratic Party who will join to defeat this scourge?
