United StatesThe Communist Party USA (CPUSA) has denied claims made by President Donald Trump that Democratic candidates seeking Congress are communists. Trump has accused Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) primary winners in New York, Colorado, and the District of Columbia of being 'godless communists' and a 'greatest threat to our country.' In response, the CPUSA criticized Trump's rhetoric as 'anti-communist hysteria' and emphasized that no current or potential Democratic candidates are members of the Communist Party. CPUSA co-Chair Joe Sims stated that while he wishes more members of Congress were part of the party, none currently are. Trump specifically targeted D.C. mayoral nominee Janeese Lewis George, calling her a 'Communist,' despite her affiliation with the DSA rather than the CPUSA. The CPUSA called for an end to 'red-baiting' and highlighted its goal of achieving socialism through peaceful means.
