The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) claims President Trump is causing its membership rolls to swell.
The claim comes as the State of California considers opening its doors to CPUSA members as employees. The Assembly recently approved a bill welcoming commies back into government. The measure, which would repeal part of a statute enacted during the Cold War, now goes to the Senate.
Meanwhile, Emile Schepers, International Secretary of the Communist Party USA, said “although the phantom of the McCarthy era still looms across the U.S., there is growing interest in communist ideas.”
