Did you ever think we’d reach a point in our lifetimes where a sitting member of Congress would refuse the most basic act of condemning socialism? Just a simple statement that in the United States we do not support — and we actually condemn — the principles of Socialism. Sure, Democrats have always loved giving people “free stuff” but outright Socialism? Sadly, we’ve officially reached that point and it’s not just one Democrat who refuses to condemn Socialism, it’s actually 100 of them! That’s right, when asked to vote on a House Bill that simply states in clear and simple language that we condemn Socialism, 98 Democrats voted “NO” and two voted “Present” which is essentially a cowardly “No” vote. Watch the fiery debate between Cuban-American Rep. María Elvira Salazar and Socialist Maxine Waters: FULL TRANSCRIPT: Speaker 1: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If there is someone who has seen the horrors of socialism up close within the Democratic Party in the House, it is the Honorable Congresswoman Maxine Waters. And I would love for you to support this resolution, specifically because, Madam Waters, for decades, you traveled to Cuba dozens of times to visit Fidel Castro personally, whom you considered your friend. Congresswoman Waters was in Havana and she saw the destruction of biblical proportions that Castro caused on that island, who, at the time in 1960, had the highest per capita income in the Western Hemisphere. Speaker 2: Address the chair. Speaker 1: At that time, Madam Waters knew that thousands and thousands of Cubans were escaping on a raft, exposing their lives and their children’s to be eaten by the sharks. She knew that Afro-Cubans were being beaten on the streets of Havana, discriminated against by Fidel Castro, Mr. Speaker. And for that reason, I am bringing up all these facts because Madam Waters knew that the Cuban jails were full of political prisoners and the Cubans did not have the same privileges that we are having right now to speak freely. Speaker 2: Check. Speaker 1: At that time, Madam Waters never raised her voice to denounce the horrors Speaker 2: Check. Speaker 1: of socialism, Mr. Speaker. For that reason, I am asking— Speaker 3 (Maxine Waters): Hello, please. Speaker 1: Madam Waters— Speaker 2: For what purpose does the lady from California seek recognition? Speaker 3 (Maxine Waters): I move, I move, I move to take her words down. Speaker 2: Respect Order. House will be in order. The lady from California, for what purpose do you rise? Speaker 3 (Maxine Waters): I rise to take down her words. Speaker 2: Yeah. The lady from Florida is recognized. Speaker 1: All right. So I’m asking for unanimous consent to withdraw the violations of the rules and continue with my speech, which is that there are many people on this floor that have seen— Speaker 2: Without objection, the words are withdrawn. Speaker 3 (Maxine Waters): Object. Speaker 2: Objection is heard. Objection is heard. Objection is heard. The objection is withdrawn. The objection is withdrawn. The gentlelady from Florida, her request is accepted with unanimous consent. The gentlelady from Florida is recognized. Speaker 1: Mr. Speaker. Speaker 2: Mr. Speaker. The gentleman from Arkansas. The House is not in order. The gentleman is correct. The House is not in order. With any luck, we’ll get back to business. Please take your conversations off the floor of the House. The gentlelady from Florida is recognized. Speaker 1: There are many people on this floor who have seen the horrors of communism. They have been to Cuba, they have been friends with Fidel Castro, they have seen the jails full of Cuban prisoners, they have seen people preparing rafts to die in the middle of the ocean, eaten by sharks. There are many people in the Democratic Party who have witnessed that and have not said anything. So for that reason, Mr. Speaker, I am asking some of my colleagues on that side of the aisle, many of them who are very good friends of mine, to understand that denouncing communism and socialism is the right thing to do for the Democratic Party. And if some of the highest, most important members of the Democratic Party on that side of the aisle were to vote with us, they would be doing a very favor to the republic, and not only that, to the Democratic Party. They will become the new champions and the Democratic Party will be now the champion for freedom in the Western Hemisphere. I yield back. Directly from Rep. Salazar who has seen the horrors of Socialism and Communism up close. Perhaps we should listen to her? How ironic that Maxine Waters is the loudest opponent to my bill condemning socialism today. I know why: even after visiting Cuba several times and seeing Afro-Cubans tortured in the streets, she never condemned it. And now, following the playbook of the very regime she… pic.twitter.com/T6emcTFdZO — Rep. María Elvira Salazar (@RepMariaSalazar) November 21, 2025 The full text of the House Resolution is something every single member of Congress should be able to support, and quite frankly if you can’t sign on to this you have no business being in Congress.  You should be entirely disqualified and immediately removed from the United States Congress if you cannot sign on to state you agree with this: H. CON. RES. 58 CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Denouncing the horrors of socialism. Whereas socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has, time and time again, collapsed into communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorships; Whereas socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide; Whereas many of the greatest crimes in history were committed by socialist ideologues, including Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, and Nicolás Maduro; Whereas tens of millions died in the Bolshevik Revolution, at least 10,000,000 people were sent to the gulags in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and millions more starved in the Terror-Famine (Holodomor) in Ukraine; Whereas between 15,000,000 and 55,000,000 people starved to death in the wake of famine and devastation caused by the Great Leap Forward in China; Whereas the socialist experiment in Cambodia led to the killing fields in which over a million people were gruesomely murdered; Whereas up to 3,500,000 people have starved in North Korea, dividing a land of freedom from a land of destitution; Whereas the Castro regime in Cuba expropriated the land of Cuban farmers and the businesses of Cuban entrepreneurs, stealing their possessions and their livelihoods, and exiling millions with nothing but the clothes on their backs; Whereas the implementation of socialism in Venezuela has turned a once-prosperous country into a failed State with the highest rate of inflation in the world; Whereas President Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, wrote, “To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate [their property rights]”; and Whereas President James Madison, the “Father of the Constitution”, wrote that it “is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest”; and Whereas the United States was founded on the belief in the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress denounces socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States. The NY Post had more details on the “No” voters: The House passed a resolution denouncing the “horrors of socialism” Friday, hours before democratic socialist New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was scheduled to meet President Trump at the White House. The concurrent resolution, introduced by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), passed the lower chamber in a bipartisan, 285-98 vote. All the “no” votes came from Democrats, two of whom — Janelle Bynum of Oregon and Deborah Ross of North Carolina — also voted “present.” “Congress denounces socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States,” the resolution stated. Salazar’s parents fled Cuba following the takeover of Communist dictator Fidel Castro. “Madame Waters, for decades you traveled to Cuba dozens of times to visit Fidel Castro personally, whom you considered your friend,” Salazar said on the floor while debating the resolution with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who later voted “no.” “Congresswoman Waters was in Havana and she saw the destruction of Biblical proportions that Castro caused on that island,” Salazar went on. “Madame Waters knew that thousands and thousands of Cubans were escaping on a raft, exposing their lives and their children to be eaten by the sharks.” “She knew that Afro-Cubans were being beaten on the streets of Havana,” she added. “Madame Waters knew that the Cuban jails were full of political prisoners.” “Object,” Waters responded. “I move to take her words down.” Salazar voluntarily withdrew her remarks from the congressional record. Rep. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), the son of incarcerated former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), whose parents fled Cuba years before Castro took power, was one of the Democrats who voted against the resolution. Maxine Waters office then released this statement to try and explain herself but if you ask me it only makes it 100 times worse: Today, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, took to the House Floor to blast H.Con.Res.58, “Denouncing the Horrors of Socialism,” a baseless resolution filled with misleading and hypocritical claims about socialism, while ignoring the affordability crisis facing millions of Americans. “Mr. Speaker, I wish we were here on the House floor this morning debating solutions that would reduce grocery bills, lower housing costs, end Trump’s tariffs strangling American small businesses and manufacturers, solve the Republican healthcare crisis, or any legislation that allows Americans to afford to live through the catastrophic economic policies of Trump and the Republicans. But, instead of doing the work our constituents desperately want us to do, Republicans in the House have chosen once again to advance a resolution under the guise of denouncing ‘socialism.’ Let me be clear, this resolution is an embarrassing distraction from the complete and total failure of the Trump Administration to deliver actual results for the American people. And the American people see right through it. 61% of Americans say that Trump’s policies have ‘worsened economic conditions in this country’ and 64% of Americans say Trump’s policies are raising the prices of food and groceries. What’s worse is that this resolution, this very resolution, goes further by using the specter of socialism to undermine some of the most important government programs in our country like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare—programs that help everyday Americans put food on their plate and care for their children. Republicans absurdly think they can convince Americans these programs that are decades old are leading America toward a Stalinist Russia, even though it is blatantly obvious that the policies of Donald Trump are straight out of a dictator’s playbook. Mr. Speaker, the House returned this week from the Trump-Republican shutdown, the longest government shutdown in American history. And while House Republicans gave themselves a paid two month vacation, hundreds of thousands of federal employees were left wondering how they were going to pay their rent or mortgage, and 42 million Americans nearly lost their food assistance. And what was the Trump administration doing? Instead of working with Congress to end the shutdown, or with local communities to blunt the impacts of the shutdown, it decided to use the full force of the United States government to make sure these American families went hungry, fought twice in the Supreme Court to block legally available funds from being used to help feed them, further chipped away at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and fired an entire office dedicated to helping rural and struggling communities: the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. All this because Republicans want to raise the cost for people with Obamacare health insurance. 22 million Americans will see their monthly health insurance premiums double, and up to 5 million Americans will likely lose their insurance altogether. Where is the Republican plan, where’s the plan? Where’s the plan to deal with all this? They don’t have one because they think keeping healthcare costs low is socialist. If Republicans truly cared about denouncing authoritarian socialism, they’d start with the Trump Administration. In less than one year, the Trump Administration has demanded U.S. companies like Intel, US Steel, MP Materials, Lithium Americas, and Trilogy Metals hand over stock to the U.S. government and the President of the United States. Capitalist companies who are doing business, and they claim this government supports. Trump is also considering forcing Lockheed Martin to do the same. Why are my colleagues who are so quick to tout their capitalism silent when Trump follows China’s communist tactics? The double standard is astounding. This resolution also seeks to condemn atrocities committed by despotic regimes such as Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, which everyone in this chamber agrees should be condemned. But somehow, once again, this resolution fails to condemn some of the history’s most terrible dictators like Adolf Hitler and modern-day dictators like Vladimir Putin, who is responsible for killing countless people in Ukraine, or President Xi who basically runs actual concentration camps for ethnic minorities. Why aren’t House Republicans denouncing these dictators when we as Congress can actually do something to stop them? Probably because President Trump has said he thinks Putin has done ‘a great job’ and is ‘a genius.’ Or maybe because he thinks President Xi ‘is really a friend of mine.’ In line with these authoritarian regimes, just last week, Trump said Democrats in the House and Senate had committed ‘seditious behavior, punishable by death’ and reposted a post saying ‘hang them.’ We should be working as Congress to denounce these horrific words, not beloved government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. And just as those authoritarian regimes are often rife with corruption, the Trump family is also doing everything possible to enrich itself. Since taking office, they have issued their own stablecoins, memecoins and various crypto products, even as Congress was in the middle of considering legislation and regulators were drafting rules. In fact, the Trump family is more than $1 billion richer from crypto alone since Trump took office. And Trump’s billionaire buddies have also made fistfuls of money as the rest of America struggles to just put food on the table. The excess is so great that Trump is literally tearing down the White House to build a golden ballroom, sending $40 billion to bailout Argentina and his billionaire buddies, and hosting Great Gatsby-themed parties at Mar-a-Lago. This resolution is a huge waste of time and does absolutely nothing to lower costs or solve any of the problems that our country faces. I urge my colleagues to vote no on this resolution. And, if they keep it up, I’m going to name all of the Republicans who took PPP money. Is that socialism? I’m going to name them, who are taking advantage of other programs that they call socialist. I’m going to do it if they keep this up. I urge my colleagues to vote no on this resolution. I reserve the balance of my time.” In related news, speaking of Socialism….is Justin Trudeau the son of Fidel Castro? Tucker Carlson Confirms On Air: Justin Trudeau Is Fidel Castro’s Son! It has LONG been rumored that Justin Trudeau is actually the son of Fidel Castro. Sound crazy? Well, the resemblance is uncanny: I mean, it's almost as dead on as Chelsea Clinton and her rumored real father, Webb Hubbell: Holy cow is that eerie! But despite the resemblance, people have claimed this is nothing more than one of those "conspiracy theories". Well, guess what folks? According to Tucker Carlson, it looks like I'm gonna need new conspiracy theories because all of mine keep coming true! Yes, on a show this week, Tucker Carlson came right out and said it during a game of trivia. Watch here on Rumble: Wow, right?
