It’s no secret that socialists have infiltrated the Democratic Party.
One of them is former U.S. Marine and self-described socialist Lee J. Carter who on June 13 was unopposed for the Democrat nomination for District 50 of the Virginia House of Delegates. Carter is a member of the Marxist group, Democratic Socialists of America, Bombthrowers contributor Renee Nal writes at TrevorLoudon.com.But the local chapter of the DSA has made Carter’s race a priority. Once it endorsed his campaign, the group started mobilizing its members to canvas Carter’s district on his behalf. “We’ve managed to knock on tens of thousands of doors,” says Carter.Carter isn’t emphasizing his radicalism. On his campaign website, his socialist views aren’t even mentioned. The “About Lee” page states:
He is an active member of the Manassas City Democratic Committee, and spends much of his time working as a community organizer and activist — particularly in the areas of affordable housing and worker protections. He is also a graduate of the Sorensen Institute of Political Leadership [at the University of Virginia].Carter is just one of many stealth socialists in the Democratic Party.
