Former White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley says Democratic Socialists share the same “ridiculous, dangerous” vision for the US. These people are hellbent on the destruction of America as we know her today,” Mr Hogan told News24 host Danica De Giorgio. “They do want to rip her up from the roots and start all over with something that has proven to be a failure every time it has been tried. “So Mamdani, El-Sayed, and all of these folks who are so radical, and their friendships, and their acquaintances, and their partners, and their employees, share this ridiculous, dangerous vision.”
