Sen. Ted Cruz tore into the Democrat cartel on Hannity this week, arguing that Kamala Harris, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ought to take their radical act on a cross-country tour so ordinary Americans can see exactly what the left has become. Cruz bluntly warned viewers that the Democratic Party is trading sanity for spectacle and urged voters to pay attention to the faces leading the charge.
On the program Cruz didn’t mince words about Mamdani, calling him out as more than a garden-variety progressive and warning that his proposals would be disastrous for cities already hollowed out by leftist governance. The senator’s point was simple: when Democrats nominate or lionize candidates promising government handouts and defunding of law enforcement, taxpayers and small businesses pay the price.
That criticism lands because prominent Democrats are openly swooning over these figures. Rep. Jasmine Crockett has publicly suggested the party could learn a “masterclass” from Mamdani’s messaging and organizing, a stunning admission that Democrats now prioritize radical theatrics over practical solutions for working Americans. This isn’t insider scribbling — it’s national television proof that the party’s center has crumbled.
Mamdani’s platform reads like a wish list for big-government socialists — rent freezes, free services, and steep tax hikes on success — and he’s drawn enthusiastic support from the most leftward corners of the party. Those endorsements and the surge of activist energy around him show the Democrat establishment has embraced policies that will gut economic growth, punish law-abiding citizens, and reward dependence on government. Voters deserve to see these trade-offs up close.
Make no mistake: this is not a debate about temperament, it’s about the future of American liberty and prosperity. Conservatives should call out the political theater for what it is and remind their neighbors that policies that sound good in a soundbite rarely survive contact with reality. The choice is between resilience, law and opportunity, or a slide toward centralized control and cultural chaos.
It’s time for grassroots Americans to mobilize, hold Democrats accountable in every race, and push back on the myth that bigger government equals better lives. Sen. Cruz and others on the right are doing the job the mainstream media refuses to do — naming names, connecting the dots, and warning about where this path leads.
Every patriotic American who still believes in personal responsibility and national pride should pay attention and vote accordingly. Let the left take their tour; let them sell their policies on the record and let voters decide whether they want higher taxes, weaker streets, and a government that promises everything and delivers nothing. The future of our towns and the safety of our families depend on who shows up at the ballot box.
